1.6 VIDEO INPUT / OUTPUT INSTALLATION
Cameras and CCTV monitors must use copper center conductor/copper braid 75 Ohm video cable (e.g. RG-59, RG-6, RG-11) with BNC connectors.
To avoid impedance mismatch and undesired loss/reflections, 50 Ohm coax cable (e.g. RG-58), or 75 ohm foil shield antenna cable and other types of coaxial cable are not compatible.
All connected video sources must provide a 1 Vpp NTSC or PAL standard video signal.
When converting other transmission types (twisted pair, fiber optics, radio) for the video inputs, be sure to verify accurate receiver calibration and signal levels.
1.6.1 Video inputs
ATTENTION: In order for the system to auto-detect the appropriate video format (NTSC or PAL), make sure that there is a video signal on video input 1 upon power-up.
1.6.2 Monitor output
Depending on the used monitor, connection can be effected either through the VGA or the BNC socket. Supported resolutions for VGA: 1280 x 1024 / 60 Hz or 800 x 600 / 60 Hz, to be set in the MONITOR menu.
ATTENTION: BNC and VGA output can be used exclusively only. For switching between the two inputs, keep the VIEW key pressed for at least one second!

1.7 ALARM CONTACT INSTALLATION
The alarm input can be used to start recording or for recording rate adjustment. In addition, alarm reactions such as camera display on the monitor, buzzer, e-mail and network alarm are available. The alarm output relay can be switched if required. Alarm input response actions can be controlled according to a flexible schedule.
1.7.1Alarm Input Contacts
This DVR provides one alarm input per camera. The input is programmable N.O. (Normal Open) or N.C. (Normal Closed) Input has to be switched by dry contacts.

1.8 RS-485 KEYBOARD / PTZ INSTALLATION
All functions can be remote-controlled by the EKB-500 universal keyboard. Using the EEPbus protocol, digital video recorders, keyboards and speed domes can be installed on one single RS-485 bus. One system can comprise up to 8 keyboards.
1.8.1General RS-485 bus installation
The EKB-500 keyboard uses a RS-485 simplex wiring; the signal is transferred via a single twisted pair line. CAT5 network cable is recommended, UTP version (unshielded) is sufficient for normal applications. A shielded cable should be used if the installed cables are expected to be highly susceptible to interference. The number of devices installed in one bus is limited to 32, and the maximum cable length is 3,900 feet. Both of these can be expanded using a signal distributor EverFocus Model EDA997A (see below).
Both the first and the last device in series should be terminated with 120 Ohm resistance in order to minimize line reflections.
RS-485 bus serial wiring
Cable length from box to device („Stubs“) has to be limited to 2m using connector boxes.
RS-485 bus serial wiring with connector boxes and connection cable
Direct RS-485 bus star wiring is not supported unless using an EverFocus Model EDA997A (see below).
Improper RS-485 bus star wiring
An EDA997A RS-485 signal distributor may be used to use a star wiring configuration.
Star wiring with RS-485 signal distributor
10
A RS-485 distributor can also be used to increase the maximum number of devices on the bus as well as the total range. Each distributor output provides another RS-485 bus. This allows each output to extend an additional 1200m, and it also enables the additional connection of 31 further devices to each output (the output itself represents one device).
The maximum system expandability depends on the RS-485 address range of the installed devices.
System expansion with RS-485 signal distributor
ATTENTION: EDA997A signal distributors are unidirectional! This means that the signal only flows from the input towards the outputs. Therefore, e.g. the interconnection of several keyboards is not possible with these types of signal distributor!
1.8.2RS-485 socket pin assignment
+ I
The RS485 pin assignment is as follows:
1.8.3EKB-500 connection with network patch cable
For a simple, short distance installation, recorder and keyboard can be connected directly using a standard CAT5 network cable with an 8-pin connector at only one end, and at the other end the Pin 3 wire connected to RS485 “+” (plus) and the pin 6 wire connected to RS-485 “-“ (minus).
1.8.4EKB-500 connection to several DVRs
For long distance installations connecting several DVRs, please use an EDA997A signal distributor to connect. For further details on keyboard connection, please refer to the EKB-500 manual.
RS-485 port communication settings are configured in the I/O CONTROL menu (Section 5.10.4 System Setup: I/O - control).
11
1.8.5Speed Dome Installation
Speed dome or telemetry receiver pan/tilt/zoom control is available through web browser or the optional PowerCon software if the DVR is connected to a network. Local telemetry control is provided by USB - mouse control or by the optional EKB-500 keyboard.
Supported protocols: EverFocus, Pelco-D, Pelco-P, Samsung, Transparent
Required DVR settings:
RS-485 receiver address in CAMERA menu (Section 4.3)
RS-485 parameters and protocol in the I/O CONTROL menu (Section 4.10.4)
ATTENTION: Some Pelco-D / -P protocol domes and receivers require an address offset of -1, i.e. the address assigned to the dome / receiver in the DVR camera menu must be 1 below the address set in the dome / receiver itself!
1.9 USB MOUSE INSTALLATION
Connect the USB mouse to one of the 2 USB ports. (This can be done while DVR is powered on) The rear USB V1.0 port is recommended to reserve the higher speed front USB V2.0 port for video copy/export.
NOTE: Recommended mouse types are Logitech® and Microsoft® wired USB wheel-mouse. Wireless USB mouse is not supported.
12
1.10 NETWORK CONNECTION
This section only describes physical connection to an Ethernet network. This step must be completed before the DVR can connect to the network. There are two basic types of connection:
1.10.1 Direct PC Connection through Crossover Network Cable
The point-to-point connection of DVR and PC requires a crossover (crossed) network cable. This type of connection is ONLY used for direct connection to a single PC. Make sure that the PC is equipped with a 10/100 Mbps compatible network connection.
Figure 1-3 Direct PC Connection
Pinout of crossover-cable
1.10.2 Network Connection through Patch Cable
The connection to an existing network requires a normal patch cable (straight-through). The illustration shows the connection to a network switch or router.
13
Figure 1-4 Network Connection through Patch Cable
Pinout of straight patch cable
1.11 FINAL INSTALL PROCESS
Once you have completed the basic wiring connections, you are ready to turn on the DVR. Simply plug in the power source. The POWER LED will light up if power is normal. Once the system has finished loading, you can begin to set up the menu options for the DVR.
