1.2.1. DX-HD System Components

A typical DX-HD Plus system has the following components (see DVR Video Configuration Playback

and Archiving, on page 1–7):

• Explorer DX-HD DVR and DVR drive with dual HDD cartridge

• Cameras and camera cables, one connector per camera

• Smart-Link™ module and cables and wiring harnesses

• HD camera, optional

• Diagnostic Button, optional

• Smart-Reach Lite wireless bridge, optional

• Speed harness, optional

• GPS receiver, optional

• HDD Dock, optional

• Trackball mouse and portable monitor for navigating on-screen display, optional

1.2.2. Recording Capacity for DVR Hard Drive Storage

The DX-HD DVR uses H.264 video compression to maximize the recording time on the dual HDD

cartridge. The amount of recorded video varies, depending on the FPS, resolution (horizontal x vertical

pixel count), and number of cameras being recorded, and picture quality settings. Lower picture

quality results in higher compression and a lower memory requirement. Higher picture quality results

in lower compression and a higher memory requirement.

1.5 TB and 2 TB cartridges are also available.

1.2.3. Front Panel Features
