The Search Is Over – Introducing Pelco’s DX8000 Digital Video Recorder

Clovis, CA (February 23. 2004) -- Never before have price, quality, and storage capacity come together in as complete a package as they have in Pelco’s latest release – the DX8000 Digital Video Recorder. Ideal for the growing mainstream video security market, Pelco’s DX8000 provides superior image recording at rates once thought unimaginable.

As increasing numbers of businesses and facilities – from hospitals and schools to seaports, governmental offices and public areas – install video security to protect people and property, the DX8000 is an integral solution to your security presence. With the ability to record, store, and playback video on demand along with a wide range of features far surpassing the competition, your search is finally over for the perfect DVR.

This easy-to-operate yet innovative, high performance, PC-based DVR offers high-quality CIF (320x240), 2CIF (640x240) and 4CIF (720x480) video recording. And these settings can be adjusted on a camera-by-camera basis. Moreover, the DX8000 can be set to record a once-unimaginable 480 images-per-second (NTSC) and 400 ips (PAL) at CIF resolution.

Along with its exceptional image quality, one of the most impressive features separating the DX8000 from the competition is its advanced recorded video search capabilities. Index Search. Quick Search. Thumbnail Search. Pixel Search. With these capabilities, finding desired video – whether based on an alarm event or time of day – is fast and easy.

And for those applications that are increasingly demanding the ability to record audio along with video, the DX8000 delivers. While some competitive products include only a single channel of audio, the DX8000 is unique in that it provides the option of having a single channel of audio for each channel of video. This means up to 16 channels of audio in a 16-channel unit.

The DX8000 also offers server-to-server connectivity and control by enabling users to connect up to five DX8000s in a virtual connection. From a single DX8000 server console, users can now view and control up to 80 cameras. And as installations grow, the scalability of the DX8000 means additional units can be connected to provide a comprehensive, video security solution.

Other features of the cutting-edge DX8000 include up to 1 Terabyte of internal storage; continuous, motion detection, alarm, and scheduled recording; network bandwidth throttling; multiple, including custom, displays for live viewing or playback while recording; digital zoom on playback; and much more!
