1. Introduction

EverFocus ECOR HD 16X1 is our new eZ.HD series DVR, which adopts the latest Analog HD

technology, permitting it to deliver excellent high quality images of up to HD resolution that is far

superior to traditional analog CCTV. The eZ.HD series is easy to install and can integrate with the

existing CCTV systems without re-cabling, so this new eZ.HD video surveillance system will

definitely be your best cost-effective solution.

The ECOR HD 16X1 DVR supports 16-channel analog video inputs with resolution ranging from D1,

960H to HD and also features triple streams for live view, playback and recording. It can record

and play back up to 240 (NTSC) / 200 (PAL) frames per second at HD resolution simultaneously. In

addition, this new series DVR supports both standard coaxial and UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)

cable, allowing for long-distance transmission of HD images with zero video latency.

This model is designed with a high-performance hardware which has 3 video outputs (HDMI, VGA

and CVBS) for local monitoring, audio in/out, alarm in/out, RS-485 serial interface, 2 USB

interfaces and 1 RJ45 (10/100/1000) Base-T Ethernet interface. Other than that, the ECOR HD

16X1 can be expanded up to 5 SATA devices (4 SATA HDDs and 1 eSATA), ensuring large capacity

of the eZ.HD video recordings.

EverFocus also provides mobile apps for users to view the eZ.HD camera streams via their mobile

devices (iOS or Android platforms) and also supports web UI for users to remotely access to the

surveillance system. Moreover, it is integrated with our powerful CMS platform, Genie XMS, so it

can be applied in more surveillance scenarios and easily scaled up in the future.

Example

1. If you have two HD cameras and two SD cameras, you should connect the two HD cameras

to one pair of the video inputs and plug the two SD cameras to another pair of the video
inputs (see Figure 1).

2. If you connect an HD and a SD camera to the same pair of the video inputs, it will only

display HD camera live view on the screen. As for the SD camera channel, it will just pop up
status icons to indicate you that it’s not an eZ.HD (HD) camera so you need to re-plug the SD
camera to a new pair of video inputs or to the pair of video inputs with the other SD camera
already connected. (see Figure 2).
