1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Paragon264x1 16-channel DVR has two hot-swappable Hard Drives and a DVD burner. It adds the advantages of
H.264 compression to the power and flexibility of the already popular Paragon DVR. State-of-the-art H.264 compression
techniques enhance video storage capacity and conserve network transmission bandwidth while maintaining high image
quality. Comprehensive features and extended event recording settings enable a wide range of applications for this DVR.
The Paragon264x1 16-channel DVR permits multiple control options. These include mouse control, front-panel control, IR
remote control and control via the EverFocus keyboard (EKB500). These control options employ a simple Graphical User
Interface (GUI) that echo standard computer GUIs and therefore make it easy for experienced PC users to intuitively grasp
the DVR’s configuration menus. As with computer-based software, this DVR’s GUI lets users command specific actions and
open configuration submenus by clicking (or scrolling&confirming) on graphical icons and visual indicators. Simply point,
click and drag the playback bar on the screen to play back your recordings from any time slot. All GUI functions can be
operated via the front-panel buttons or the mouse.
Hop on the Express Lane! This DVR is engineered for express operations, allowing you to configure all actions (like copy,
search and recording playback actions) in seconds by simply clicking a few tabs on the Express menu page of the GUI.

1.6 VIDEO INPUTS/OUTPUTS INSTALLATION

Cameras and CCTV monitors must use copper-core or copper-braid 75 Ohm video cable (e.g. RG-59, RG-6, RG-11) with
BNC connectors.

To avoid impedance mismatching 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 should not be used.

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.

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 (Channel 1) upon power-up.

1.7 AUDIO INSTALLATION

This DVR provides 4 line level audio inputs and 1 line level audio output.

ATTENTION: The direct connection of a non-amplified microphone is not supported (a microphone amplifier is required).
The audio output requires an amplifier to drive a speaker or headphones.

The audio installation must be done with audio coax cable and RCA plugs.

AUDIO RECORDING FUNCTIONALITY:

Audio recording is activated / deactivated in the Camera Menu for each camera respectively. Please check and always
comply with local laws and regulations when using audio recording.

The audio channel is recorded with the video channel and is independent of the image recording rate. Audio recording is
standard and do not require any further setup.

1.8 ALARM CONTACTS INSTALLATION

The alarm inputs can be configured to trigger recording or to adjust recording rates. Alarm inputs can also trigger the related
camera’s feed to be displayed on the monitor, or trigger a buzzer, an e-mail or a network alarm. The alarm output relay can
be enabled if required. Alarm-input reactions can be controlled according to a flexible schedule.

1.8.1 Alarm Input Contacts

This DVR provides one alarm input per camera. All inputs are programmable N.O. (Normal Open) or N.C. (Normal Closed).

1.9 RS-485 KEYBOARD / PTZ INSTALLATION

All functions can be remotely 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 be comprised of up to
8 keyboards.

1.9.1 General RS-485 bus installation

The EKB-500 keyboard uses RS-485 simplex wiring; the signal is transferred via a single twisted pair line. CAT5 network
cable is recommended. The 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 the 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).

INCORRECT RS-485 bus star wiring!

An EDA997A RS-485 signal distributor may be used to use a star wiring configuration.

9

Star wiring with RS-485 signal distributor

An 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!

1.9.2 RS-485 socket pin assignment

The RS485 pin assignment is as follows:

1.9.3 EKB-500 connection with network patch cable

For a simple, short-distance installation, the DVR 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).

1.9.4 EKB-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.

10

RS-485 port communication settings are configured in the I/O CONTROL menu (Section 5.10.4 System Setup: I/O - control).

1.9.5 Speed Dome Installation

A speed dome or telemetry receiver’s motor functions can be controlled through a web browser or the optional PowerCon
software if the DVR is connected to a network. Local PTZ/telemetry control can be done via USB mouse or by the optional
EKB-500 keyboard.

Supported protocols: EverFocus, Pelco-D, Pelco-P, Samsung, Transparent

Required DVR settings:

1) Enter the RS-485 receiver address (PTZ ID) in the Camera Setting > Basic Setting submenu of the Configuration menu.

2) Enter the RS-485 parameters and protocol in the System Setting > I/O Control submenu of the Configuration menu.

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!

1.10 USB MOUSE INSTALLATION

Connect the USB mouse to one of the two USB ports. (This can be done while the DVR is powered on).

NOTE: Recommended mouse types are the Logitech® and Microsoft® wired USB wheel-mice. Wireless USB mice are not
supported.

1.11 NETWORK CONNECTION

This section only describes the 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:

1.11.1 Direct PC Connection through Crossover Network Cable

The point-to-point connection of DVR and PC requires a crossover (crossed) network cable (Ethernet cable). This type of
connection is ONLY used for direct connection to a single PC. Make sure that the PC is equipped with a 10/100Mbps
compatible network connection.

Direct PC Connection:

Pinout of crossover-cable:

1.12 FINAL INSTALLATION PROCESS

Once you have completed the basic wiring connections, you can 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.
