Take Your First Step Into Video Management With Ease

The DX Series DVR and hybrid video recorders (HVRs) are the ideal choice for affordable, efficient entry into fullfeatured video storage management. With the capacity to manage up to 16 analog cameras, plus 8 IP cameras the
DX Series delivers a cost-effective solution for IP migration. Designed for easy use out-of-the-box, the DX Series
delivers high-quality images and immense storage capacity at an affordable price.

Adaptable Features for Multiple Applications

The DX Series is the natural choice for retail, banking, and small business operations and the recorders support text overlays
from point-of-sale (POS) systems linked to cash registers and ATM machines. If you have an additional need to meet strict
government security standards, select DX models have been certified through the Department of Defense Information
Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP).

Easy to Install, Easy to Operate

With the DX Series DVRs and HVRs, security doesnt have to be complicated. The systems are ready-to-record right out
of the box and feature the latest technology for simple operation and minimal training time. With easy navigation through
camera favorites, optional CCTV keyboard control, support for additional monitors and servers, the DX Series is the efficient
choice for video recording.

Cost-Effective IP Migration
Hybrid analog and IP recording enables customers to make the most of existing investments in analog cameras, while

allowing for the addition of megapixel IP cameras for step-by-step migration. With multiple systems available, the DX Series
can accommodate up to 16 analog cameras per server, with support for as many as 8 megapixel IP cameras.

The DX Series delivers

Expand Your Capabilities With Digital Sentry

With full-featured DS NVs video management software, the convenience and assurance of a robust network video
recorder (NVR), analog camera support via optional direct-attached or network video encoders, and support for hundreds
of IP cameras, Digital Sentry (DS) offers the flexibility and convenience of a video management system optimized to drive
HD, IP, and hybrid recording from one high-performance platform.

The Solution for Mainstream Applications

With support for high-definition video, easy search tools, and an easy-to-navigate tabbed environment, critical data is easily
accessed, monitored, and managed from multiple locations using DS ControlPoint. The viewing flexibility of DS makes it the ideal
solution for multi-site monitoring applications such as education, healthcare, and corporate security environments, which require
alarm monitoring and rapid access to recorded video from multiple servers.

Putting You in Control

Digital Sentry provides you with flexible options, allowing you to deploy a system that meets your design needs. The DS system
functions as a NVR, DVR, or hybrid recorder; as a standalone system, or as part of an extensive network of servers; as software
that can be installed on COTS hardware or prepackaged on a robust server platform tuned and tested to deliver reliable
convenience for the customer. With Pelco by Schneider Electric and third-party network encoders, and with ONVIF compliance,
DS offers broad support for a rapidly growing array of third-party IP cameras and encoders.

Optimized Powerful Hardware

The DSSRV network video recorder provides the power and flexibility you need to maximize HD recording and leverage existing
analog investments. With up to 18TB of internal storage, an option for RAID5, and capability for local- or network-attached
storage for backup and export, each DSSRV server supports the ability to capture and manage HD, SD, and analog video from
as many as 128 cameras per server. By adding one or more direct-attached video encoders, hybrid capability is extended for as
many as 64 analog cameras.

Digital Sentry combines

flexible IP video management
software with optimized
hardware components to
provide a powerful solution for
a broad range of mainstream
security applications.

Predictable Performance for Reliable Scalability

The Endura IP VMS offers unbridled scalability, uncompromised performance, and the unwavering reliability required
for mission-critical surveillance applications. With the ability to scale to thousands of cameras, Endura is designed to
fit a wide range of customer applications including airports, casinos, and city surveillance applications where
unmatched fault tolerance and system integrity are mandatory.

Reliability for 24/7 Surveillance

The Endura system provides the tools security and IT professionals need to effectively safeguard people and property around
the clock. As a distributed system, the Endura architecture ensures that there is no single point of failure key for missioncritical applications. Endura components are designed with multiple levels of redundancy to ensure maximum system uptime.

Endless Adaptability
Scalable to accept thousands of HD and megapixel cameras, the Endura system is an intelligent, yet easy-to-use approach to
video security that provides greater control, enhanced operational flexibility, centralized management, cost-effective recording,
and integration capabilities. Endura now provides access to mission-critical video wherever you may be. With support for
Pelco Aggregation, low-bandwidth transcoding capability, and web-server functionality, cameras and recorded footage from
multiple Endura systems can be accessed from any web browser or mobile device, regardless of the topology and bandwidth.

Continuous Interoperability
Endura systems can integrate with other building systems and physical security systems to deliver situational awareness
and control in revolutionary new ways. Built around open standards, all Endura components include a complete Application
Programming Interface (API), which allows other systems manufacturers to develop interfaces for and leverage Endura
capabilities. Additionally, Pelco has developed interfaces in Endura for third-party IP cameras as well as fiber channel-based
storage solutions, enabling system administrators to take advantage of SAN storage expansion for video recording. An
Endura Certification Program ensures that all installations and support are done by highly trained professionals.

With a powerful range of

components, Endura is the ideal
video management system for
mission-critical surveillance
operations that require aroundthe-clock monitoring and
unwavering reliability.
