Chapter
1. Introduction
EverFocus PARAGON FHD 16x4 is our new eZ.HD series DVR, which adopts the latest Analog HD
technology, permitting it to deliver excellent 1080p full HD quality images that are 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 1080p full HD video surveillance system will
definitely be your best cost-effective solution.
The PARAGON FHD 16x4 DVR supports 16-channel analog video inputs with resolution ranging
from D1, 960H, 720p to 1080p full HD and also features triple streams for live view, playback and
recording. It can record and play back up to 480 (NTSC) / 400 (PAL) frames per second at all
resolutions. In addition, this new series DVR supports both standard coaxial and UTP (Unshielded
Twisted Pair) cable, allowing for long-distance transmission of full HD images with zero video
latency.
This model is designed with a high-performance hardware which has 3 video outputs (HDMI, VGA
and BNC) for local monitoring, 16 video looping outputs, audio in/out, alarm in/out, RS-485 serial
interface, 3 USB interfaces and 1 RJ45 (10/100/1000) Ethernet interface. Other than that, the
PARAGON FHD 16x4 can be expanded up to 5 SATA devices (4 SATA HDDs and 1 eSATA), ensuring
large capacity of the eZ.HD full HD video recordings. Users can also easily operate the machine
using a USB mouse or via the front panel buttons and jog-dial/shuttle wheel.
EverFocus also provides mobile apps for users to view the eZ.HD 1080p full HD camera streams via
their mobile devices (iOS or Android platforms) and also supports web UI for users to remotely
access 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.
