Safety Precautions
• To avoid any damage, please consider the following safety warnings:
• Never place the recorder near to heaters, furnaces, other heat sources or under direct solar irradiation.
• Operate the device only in locations providing the tolerable operatingtemperature range
0°C~40°C/32°F ~ +104°F.
• Make sure that the device‘s ventilation slots are not covered or sheeted.
• For cleaning, make sure the device is plugged off and only use a damp cloth without acid detergent.
• Install the device only in dry and dustproof surroundings. Protect the device against any liquid‘s
penetration.
• Avoid the penetration of any artifacts, e.g. through ventilation slots.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the appliance. To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Contact qualified service personnel for maintenance.
Handle the appliance with care. Do not strike or shake, as this may damage the appliance.
• Do not operate appliance with other than specified power supplies. The input power source of the power
supply is 12 VDC with external power supply 100 ~ 240 VAC.
• Avoid any affection of the device through vibrations or mechanical shock at the recorder‘s installation
location.
• Avoid to power off DVR during playback or recording operation.

2 Installation
2.1 Video Connections
Camera and CCTV monitor must use 75 Ohm video cable (e.g. RG-59, RG-6, RG-11) with BNC
connectors.
Due to inappropriate absorbability, 50 Ohm coax cable (e.g. RG-58), antenna cable and other types of
coaxial cable are notcompatible.
All connected video sources must provide a 1 Vpp NTSC or PAL standard video signal.
When converting transmission lines (twisted pair, fibre optics, radio) to the video inputs, be sure to verify
accurate receiver calibration.
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.
2.2 Audio Connection Installation
The ECOR DVR provides1 audio input and 1 audio output.
The input is designed for max. 500 mV to 10 KOhm line audio signals.
ATTENTION: The direct connection of a non-amplified microphone is not supported (a microphone
amplifier is required).
The installation must be done with audio coax cable and RCA plugs.
The output provides a max. 500 mV to 10 KOhm line audio signal and may be connected to a monitor‘s
audio input. The direct connection of passive speakers is not supported.
AUDIO RECORDING FUNCTIONALITY:
Audio recording is activated / deactivated in the RECORD menu.
Audio channel is always recorded together with video and is independent of the image recording rate.
There is no specific camera allocation.

2.3 Alarm Input / Output Installation
ECOR DVR provides 4 / 8 alarm inputs.
Inputs have to be switched through dry contacts. The output relays provide a dry N.O./ N.C. contact..

2.4 Network Connection
ECOR DVR provides fast MPEG-4 format image transmission and network remote configuration.
ATTENTION: A monitor is required for initial network configuration. For more information about
network setup, please refer to Chapter 7.
Physically, two basic types of connection are possible:
2.4.1 Direct PC Connection through Crossover Network Cable
Figure 2.1
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 a10/100/1000 Mb compatible network connection.
2.4.2 Network Connection through Patch Cable
Figure 2.2
The connection to an existing network requires a normal patch cable (straight-through). The illustration
shows the connection to a network switch, router, or modem.
12
2.4.3 Network System Requirements
Connection type: 100Base-T
Min recommended network bandwidth: 256 K
Max. required network bandwidth:3 M
Protocol types used: TCP, UDP, SMTP, HTTP, NTP
Required ports: 80, 1600; for port information, please refer to “5.6, Network Setting”.
2.5 Speed Dome Installation
Speed dome or pan/tilt/zoom control is available through web browser if the DVR is connected to a
network. Local control is provided by the optional EKB 500 keyboard.
Supported protocols: EverFocus, Pelco-D, Pelco-P,Transparent, Samsung.
Figure 2.3
Sample installation with 3 EPTZ1000 speed domes and EKB500
Required DVR configuration: RS-485 receiver address in CAMERA menu; RS-485 parameters and
protocol in I/O CONTROL menu
ATTENTION: Some Pelco-D / -P protocol domes and receivers may require an address offset of -1. In
other words, the address in the DVR’s Camera Menu must be 1 below the address set in the actual dome /
receiver. (example: ID in Device = 3, ID in DVR = 2)
Termination Resistor ON

2.6 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.
