REGULATORY NOTICES  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two  
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept  
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.  
RADIO AND TELEVISION INTERFERENCE  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device,  
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,  
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with  
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However there is no  
guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does  
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning  
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or  
more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the  
receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
You may also find helpful the following booklet, prepared by the FCC: “How to Identify and  
Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems.This booklet is available from the U.S. Government  
Printing Office, Washington D.C. 20402.  
Changes and Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer or registrant of this  
equipment can void your authority to operate this equipment under Federal Communications  
Commission’s rules.  
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.  
Cet appareil num rique de la classe B est conforme ˆ la norme NMB-003 du Canada.  
DESCRIPTION  
The DX2000 Series is a high quality digital video recorder (DVR) that combines the functions  
of a recorder and multiplexer into one unit. This means the DVR can process up to 8 cameras  
(DX2008) or up to 16 cameras (DX2016) simultaneously, plus the user can also view, config-  
ure, record, and play back recorded data individually for each camera. The DVR can interface  
with ATMs (automated teller machines) and POS (point of sale) terminals to record transaction  
data.  
Configuration and control of the DVR are done through a PC (personal computer) attached to a  
LAN (local area network) or WAN (wide area network). Each DX2000 is configured with its own  
unique IP (internet protocol) address. Users on the network access the DVR by entering this IP  
address through Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher.  
The DX2000 uses Wavelet compression to produce high resolution live viewing and playback.  
You can select image quality settings that range from 5 KB (low quality) to 40 KB (high quality)  
per image. Image rates can be selected from a range of 1 image per 64 seconds to 16  
images per second (ips).  
For optimized recording, you configure the quality and image rate to meet your needs. Higher  
quality means clearer video but consumes more disk space while low quality uses less disk  
space, yielding a longer storage time.

Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)  
 
There are four types of recordings:  
Scheduled Recording  
This type is simply the days and times you wish to record.  
Motion Recording  
You set up this type to record when motion is detected on selected cameras.  
The advantage of motion recording is that it lets you set a higher recording rate for better  
detail, but still conserves disk space.You can get clearer images when this type of  
recording is triggered but you do not waste disk space because the higher rate is only in  
effect when motion is detected.  
Event Recording and Alarm Recording  
These types can be triggered by a ground signal to the alarm panel located on the DVR’s  
rear panel. An event is a low-level alarm.  
The advantage of these two recording types is similar to that for motion detection.  
Data Exception Recording  
You set this type to record when a data exception is encountered.  
The DX2000 is a duplex unit, allowing you to simultaneously record and play back or view live.  
Search functions during playback allow image-by-image viewing and playback of alarm events.  
You can search by time and date, and by alarm, event, or motion recording.  
You can buy the DX2000 from Pelco with additional storage, up to 640 gigabytes total, if  
extended recording time is needed.  
The DVR uses proprietary compression algorithms to prevent video images from being altered  
and has password protection to guard against unauthorized or accidental recording or playback.  
The DVR can also receive transaction data from up to four ATMs or POS terminals internally or  
16 with optional DX2000DH(s). A transaction database maintained on the DX2000 allows  
transactions to be searched for specific items such as account number and clerk number.
