Pelco DX3100 Series DVR’s Powerful Remote Software Streams up to 16 Channels of Video

Clovis, CA (March 14, 2003) – The new Pelco DX3100 Series Digital Video Recorder raises the bar for what you should expect in a DVR. With its amazing proprietary MPEG compression and the most powerful remote software available anywhere, you can stream up to 16 channels of video from several remote locations. In addition, the DX3100 includes an easy-to-use interface tied to its embedded operating system that will give you superior performance and reliability for years to come, along with excellent image quality and built-in event storage capacity.

With up to an amazing 5:1 compression advantage over DX3100 competitors, you will realize significant cost savings up front – where it counts. And you can anticipate using much less hard disk space to store the same amount of video with the DX3100 than is possible with any other DVR in its class. Another standard feature of the DX3100 is its ability to copy events to its onboard backup storage device, which allows you to copy up to 300 images or three minutes of video to this floppy drive at the push of a button. You can also maximize your hard disk space by strategically using the system’s daily record schedule and built-in video motion detection to get up to several months of recording time – providing even more savings.

Further maximize your investment with the other standard features found on the DX3100, including built-in multiplexer functions, PTZ control of positioning systems such as Spectra III or Esprit, and an infrared controller (IR-Remote) – usually available only as options with other DVRs for an additional cost. Together with its maximum recording speed of up to 30 images per second, the DX3100 replaces traditional analog Multiplexer/VCR combinations in price and performance.

With the most feature-rich remote software in the industry, you have full access to the operation of each DX3100 and can connect up to 16 DX3100 DVRs via a local or wide area network. With the front panel’s intuitive pushbutton design, the equally functional remote software and handheld IR Remote, you have convenient and complete control – whether you’re in the same building or on a different continent.

For example, a remote operator can view the front entrance cameras of 16 different buildings from around the block to around the world–simultaneously. During live viewing, you can select single, quad, 3X3, or even 4X4 displays to keep informed of ongoing activities. Additional functions also enable an operator to view live images from some cameras while simultaneously reviewing recorded video from others.

By providing many powerful features usually found only in more expensive digital video recorders, the Pelco DX3100 DVR offers a very flexible solution for your recording needs – filling an ideal niche within Pelco’s digital video recorder product line, between the entry-level DX1000 and higher-end DX7000.
