OVERVIEW  
DESCRIPTION  
The DX3000 Series Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is a high-quality digital recorder that  
combines the functions of a recorder and multiplexer into one unit.  
With the number of cameras in systems increasing, the combination of a video recorder  
with a multiplexer has become standard. In pursuit of the high-quality image playback char-  
acteristic of digital recording and as a way to make the recording operation more ideal,  
the DX3000 Series DVR includes versatile multiplexer functions that allow the images from  
the camera inputs to be shown on the monitor in multiple formats: 1-, 4-, or 9-camera dis-  
plays on the DX3009 models or 1-, 4-, 9-, or 16-camera displays on the DX3016 models.  
The DX3000 Series DVR uses JPEG compression to produce high-resolution playback  
with more than 450 horizontal lines. There are five user-selectable image quality settings.  
The DVR has a built-in, large-volume hard disk for both high reliability and high-speed  
operation. Users can select from six (DX3009 models) or eight (DX3016 models) record-  
ing intervals ranging from 1-30 frames per second. The maximum number of frames that  
can be recorded consecutively is as follows:  
MODEL  
MAXIMUM FRAMES  
2,456,000  
4,913,000  
4,800,000  
9,601,000  
DX3009-030  
DX3009-060  
DX3016-060  
DX3016-120  
Recording can be done continuously or at specified time periods. The user also can cat-  
egorize cameras into three recording groups, allowing different recording patterns, for ex-  
ample, during weekdays and weekends.  
Zoom buttons permit the user to zoom in on a selected area of the image.  
There are two methods of detecting alarms. First, for each camera there is an alarm input  
that triggers alarm recording when a ground signal is received from the alarm device.  
A pre-alarm recording function can be set to record images before the alarm sensor de-  
tects disturbances. Second, each camera can be programmed to detect motion, including  
the capability to select the motion detection area and the sensitivity of motion detection.  
Versatile high-speed search operations include time and date searching, index searching,  
skip searching, and alarm list searching.  
To handle applications requiring long-term storage of recorded images, the DX3000 Series  
DVR is capable of using supplementary devices to create backups and copies without inter-  
rupting hard disk recording. Used in conjunction with a wide selection of media, DX3000  
Series DVR can handle many different kinds of non-stop recording. Additional hard disk  
drives can be added to supplement the built-in hard disk when extended recording time is  
needed, as follows:  
MODEL  
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF  
ADDITIONAL HARD DRIVES  
3 (34 GB PER UNIT)  
2 (34 GB PER UNIT)  
2 (103 GB PER UNIT)  
DX3009-030  
DX3009-060  
DX3016-060  
DX3016-120  
2 (103 GB PER UNIT)  
Other features include audio recording, recognition of recorded images that have been al-  
tered, and an RS-232C interface for remote control from a PC or other control terminals.

SERIES RECORDING  
By connecting multiple units in series as shown in Figure 11, when the one unit’s hard disk  
is full, the next unit automatically begins recording.  
In this example, when the first unit’s hard disk is full, the second unit begins recording;  
when the second unit’s hard disk is full, the first unit begins overwriting its hard disk. If you  
do not want the first unit to overwrite its hard disk, do not connect MODE OUT from the  
second unit to REC of the first unit. The series recording function can also be activated by  
connecting the CALL OUT terminal in place of the MODE OUT terminal; the disk storage  
capacity setting is made in the Call Out menu. When the CALL OUT terminal is used, if the  
first unit reaches the preset capacity, experiences a malfunction, or otherwise cannot con-  
tinue recording, the second unit begins recording.

5. Optional. Connect peripheral recording devices.  
By connecting peripheral recording devices to the recorder through the SCSI interface  
(SCSI-II half-pitch 50-pin), storage space can be increased and archiving and copying  
functions can be performed.  
To increase storage space, up to two (DX3009-060, DX3016-060, and DX3016-120)  
or three (DX3009-030) peripheral hard disk drives (maximum of 34 GB per unit for  
DX3009 models or 103 GB per unit for DX3016 models) can be added to supplement  
the built-in hard disk.  
For archiving or copying functions, a tape or disk device can be connected.  
The following tape devices can be connected to the recorder:  
Pelco  
Pelco  
DX3000-D25 (drive)  
DX3000-T25 (blank tape)  
The following disk devices can be connected to the recorder:  
MO (640 MB)  
MO (1.3 GB)  
DVD-RAM  
HDD  
Fujitsu SMB-640WF  
Fujitsu SMB-1300W  
Panasonic LF-D200JD  
SCSI-IF Type  
Zip (250 MB)  
IOMEGA Z250S  
Connections between the recorder and peripheral devices are made with SCSI cables  
(not supplied). As SCSI cables differ with each device, check for the appropriate pin  
arrangement before use. Cables must not exceed 3 feet (1 m).  
On the rear panel of the recorder is a SCSI termination switch. Set the switch ON  
when nothing is connected the SCSI connector. Set to OFF when connecting periph-  
eral devices.  
Correct termination is necessary to maintain proper electrical connections to the pe-  
ripheral devices. Make sure that the last peripheral device is terminated. (Depending  
on the device, the terminator may be built into the device. In this case, set the built-in  
terminator correctly.) Use an active terminator for SCSI.  
Set the SCSI ID number of the peripheral recording device. Refer to the operation  
manual of each peripheral recording device for setting the SCSI ID Number. Use ID1-3  
for hard drives, ID4 for an archive device, and ID5 for a copy device. On DX3016 mod-  
els, also use ID4 when a hard disk drive is connected for repeated backup recording  
(considered an archiving function).

6. Connect the power cord to the recorder, and then plug the power cord into a wall  
socket.  
7. Turn on power to peripheral recording devices first, and then turn on the power to the  
recorder. Power to the cameras and monitor can be turned on before or after turning  
on the recorder.  
If there are no peripheral devices connected to the SCSI terminal, the installation is  
complete. Proceed to the Programming section.  
If there are peripheral devices connected to the SCSI terminal, the recorder automati-  
cally detects peripheral recording devices connected to the SCSI terminal.  
If a hard drive(s) has been added, refer to the Adding a Hard Drive(s) section for more  
information about turning on the recorder.  
If a peripheral device takes a long time to start up, refer to the section on Boot-Up Delay.  
ADDING OR REMOVING A COPY OR ARCHIVE DEVICE  
1. Turn off the power.  
2. Connect or disconnect the copy or archive device.  
3. Turn on the power.  
ADDING A HARD DRIVE(S)  
This section applies only to devices connected to ID1-ID3.  
WARNING: All data will be lost on the current drive(s) after you install an  
additional hard drive(s) and turn the power back on. Back up data you want  
to save before turning off the power to add a hard drive(s).  
NOTE: The DX3000 uses the native format of the added drive(s); therefore, any  
added drive(s) do not have to be reformatted.  
Up to two (DX3009-060) or three (DX3009-030) peripheral hard disk drives (maximum of 34 GB  
per unit) can be added to supplement the built-in hard disk when extended recording time is  
needed.  
<DEVICE CHECK>

BOOT-UP DELAY  
Because the recorder searches for connected devices when power is turned on, peripheral  
devices must be turned on before power is turned on to the digital recorder. To handle pe-  
ripherals that take a long time to start up, the recorder can be preset to delay the timing of  
its search for these devices, as follows.  
1. Press the POWER button while pressing the REC button to turn the power on. The  
Device Check menu appears.

MOTION DETECTION DURING A TIMER RECORDING  
(DX3016 Models Only)  
This function allows you to set up motion detection to operate during a specified time pe-  
riod. Recording occurs, however, only if motion is detected.  
1. Follow all the steps in the Motion Detection section to turn motion detection on and ac-  
tivate the desired cameras.  
2. In the Normal Rec Setting menu, select the recording mode (A, B, or C) that you want  
to use for motion detection, and then define the group setting (select the cameras).  
Refer to the Record section for detailed instructions. The cameras you select must  
have their motion detection function activated (step 1).  
3. Follow the steps in the previous section (Timer Recording) to schedule the timer pro-  
gram. In the MODE column, select POWER as the mode.  
4. In the Timer Program menu, turn the JOG dial to select record mode A, B, or C under  
M-Det Application. This must be the same mode that you selected in step 2. Turn the  
SHUTTLE ring to the right. The option starts flashing. Turn the JOG dial to select ON.  
Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right. The option stops flashing.  
5. Turn the JOG dial to select REC MODE (POWER). Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the  
right. The option starts flashing. Turn the JOG dial to select ON. Turn the SHUTTLE  
ring to the right. The option stops flashing.  
6. Do one of the following:  
Turn the JOG dial to go to another item in this menu.  
Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the left to return to the Menu Setting menu to go to another  
menu.  
Press the SET UP button to exit the programming mode.  
When the timer program is activated (refer to Timer Recording in the Operation section),  
the recorder goes into an idle state (it is on but not recording). When motion is detected, re-  
cording begins and continues until the motion stops. When motion stops, recording contin-  
ues for the time set in the A-REC DURATION setting in the A-Rec/M-Det Setting menu.

ESTIMATING RECORDING TIME  
When using the Timer Program, there may be instances where, because of maximum re-  
cording fields, image quality, and audio recording settings, there is insufficient recording  
space on the unit’s hard disk drive to complete the recordings as programmed.  
When the maximum recording fields setting differs in the Normal Rec Setting menu and  
Timer Program menu, the possible recording duration will differ from the duration displayed  
in ESTD TIME field in the Normal Rec Setting menu.  
When setting the timer for multiple programs, refer to the DX3009 Recording Time Tables  
section or DX3016 Recording Time Tables section to confirm the amount of hard disk  
space the recording duration will take up under different setting conditions.  
Using the Timer Program settings below as an example of estimating possible recording dura-  
tion, the chart below shows that everything is recorded on the sixth day, and on the seventh  
day only 1.1% of Program 2 content is recorded on the hard disk drive. (Conditions: Image  
Quality is set to HIGH, Audio Recording is set to OFF, built-in 30 GB hard disk drive.) The cal-  
culation is derived as follows: Program 1 uses 5.3% of the disk space per day. In six days it  
uses 31.8% (5.3 times 6). Program 2 uses 10.3% per day or 61.8% in six days (10.3 times 6).  
In six days 93.6% of the disk space has been used (31.8 plus 61.8). This leaves 6.4%  
available at the beginning of day seven. After Program 1 finishes recording only 1.1% is left  
for Program 2 (6.4 minus 5.3).

is started again, this figure reappears after a few moments. The % symbol will flash when  
the designated amount of space remaining on the storage medium has been reached (refer  
to Capacity Remaining in the Programming section). The % symbol will flash only when one  
camera is displayed on the monitor, not when multiple cameras are being shown.  
The recorder can display dates from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2030. It also has a  
built-in function to calculate leap years automatically. After December 31, 2030, the date in-  
dicator will return to 2000.  
The on-screen clock can be reset to the nearest hour by applying a signal to the CLOCK  
ADJ terminal. For example, if the current time is 11:29:59, it will be reset to 11:00:00, and if  
the current time is 11:30:00, it will be reset to 12:00:00.

ALARM RECORDING  
Alarm recording commences upon either of the following conditions:  
•
•
An ALARM IN terminal is triggered by an alarm sensor  
A camera detects motion  
When there is an alarm:  
1) The recorder switches to its preset recording intervals. Refer to Alarms in the Pro-  
gramming section for alarm settings.  
2) An index signal is automatically stored in memory when alarm recording begins.  
Refer to the Playback section for reviewing alarm recordings using the index search.  
3) If the unit receives a new alarm signal while in the alarm recording mode, the unit  
completes the alarm recording session initiated by the new signal.  
4) If the unit receives an alarm signal at an ALARM IN terminal while settings are being  
made on the on-screen menus, the unit exits the menu screen and begins alarm re-  
cording.  
5) The unit stores a data entry in an Alarm List of the time it receives the alarm signal.  
Refer to the Playback section for reviewing images from the Alarm List.  
6) Regardless of the display mode, camera number buttons flash for those cameras  
making alarm recordings. The Alarm Recording indicator flashes on and off during  
alarm recording and stays on at the completion of alarm recording. If the DISPLAY  
MODE is set for values other than 5 or 6, an Alarm Recording number will automati-  
cally appear on-screen while the unit is running in alarm recording mode. The maxi-  
mum Alarm Recording number is 9999.  
At the end of alarm recording, the unit returns to the same recording intervals that  
were in effect before the alarm recording.  
When in the alarm recording mode, the unit records for the entire alarm recording du-  
ration even if the end-time specified in a timer program has been exceeded. Alarm re-  
cording also continues as long as motion is detected within the active area established  
for motion detection. When motion stops, alarm recording continues for the time set in  
the A-REC DURATION setting.  
There may be cases when the recorder’s built-in motion detection function does  
not operate properly due to the condition of the input video signal or other factors.  
There may be such operation errors when the recorder is connected to a system  
that uses the recorder’s detection function to send a warning signal.  
If the recorder is programmed for pre-alarm recording, pre-alarm recordings are made  
of all cameras since it is not known which camera will have an alarm. After an ALARM  
IN terminal is triggered, however, only those cameras designated in the RECORD  
ALARM setting will make alarm recordings. This means that during playback the num-  
ber of cameras displayed may differ for pre-alarm and post-alarm recording.

BACKING UP DATA  
The recorder can back up data which is recorded on the hard disk drive. You can back up  
data previously recorded data at the same time the DVR is recording new data (refer to the  
section on Simultaneous Recording and Backup).  
There are two ways to make copies:  
Using the ARCHIVE button  
Using the COPY button  
USING THE ARCHIVE BUTTON  
NOTE: If you use the ARCHIVE button, the peripheral recording device must be  
assigned to SCSI ID number 4.  
Start Copying  
Press the ARCHIVE button. The button starts blinking. While the light is blinking, the  
archiving process is being set up. This may take several minutes. When the light remains  
on, the backup is in progress.  
When the ARCHIVE button is pressed, the recorder makes backups after the point indi-  
cated by the Archive Pointer. If the Archive Overwrite setting is OFF, the backup process  
will not overwrite data already recorded on the storage medium. If ON, data previously re-  
corded on the storage medium will be overwritten and erased. Refer to Archive, Overwrite  
in the Programming section.  
The position of the Archive Pointer will not be erased when the unit’s main power switch is  
turned off. To reset the position of the pointer, refer to Archive Pointer Reset in the Pro-  
gramming section.  
Stop Copying  
Press the ARCHIVE button. The button blinks while the archiving process is halted. If the  
Auto Eject setting is ON, the medium is automatically ejected at the end of the process.  
The Archive Pointer is repositioned to where operation was stopped, and the next backup  
recording will begin at this point.  
Timer Backup  
Timer backup is a method for using the timer to perform archive backup. The timer can be  
used to archive data in the main hard disk drive that has not yet been backed up. The unit  
can archive data even if it is currently in the process of timer recording.  
Refer to Timer Recording in the Programming section to program the recorder. In the Mode  
setting, select ARC.  
The recorder makes backups on the archive device after the point indicated by the Archive  
Pointer if the ARCHIVE OVERWRITE setting is OFF. If ON, data previously recorded on the  
storage medium will be overwritten and erased. Refer to Archive, Overwrite in the Program-  
ming section.  
Pelco Manual C681M-D (2/02)

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Auto-Eject at the Completion of Backup  
The archive medium will be automatically ejected under the following conditions:  
When the archive medium becomes full during archive backup. Refer to Auto Eject in the  
Programming section.  
When the archive medium becomes full during timer backup. Refer to Auto Eject in the Pro-  
gramming section.  
When the ARCHIVE button is pressed again, after operation was started with the ARCHIVE  
button.

3. Precautions when designating simultaneous timer backup  
The backup program, which can be designated as an individual operation, can also be  
designated with the record and power programs. The following items apply when des-  
ignating these multiple program modes.  
There may be restrictions imposed by the other recording devices. It is recommended  
that adequate program checks are run before actual operation.  
Observe the following precautions when connecting devices requiring time to halt  
startup (for example, archive devices, tape recording devices etc.)  
•
Using the backup setting’s designated time plus five minutes (the halt startup  
time of the peripheral recording devices) as a gauge, set the unit so that modes  
do not change. (Refer to illustration 1.)  
•
Even when only designating the backup mode, add one minute or more to the  
backup operation time, and set other programs to start and stop. (Refer to Illus-  
tration 2.)
