1.6 VIDEO INPUTS/OUTPUTS 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.

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.

1.7 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 installation must be connected with audio coax cable and RCA plugs.

AUDIO RECORDING FUNCTIONALITY:

Audio recording is activated / deactivated in the Camera Menu for Camera #1~4 respectively. Please check

and always comply with local laws and regulations when using audio recording.

The audio channel is always recorded together with video and is independent of the image recording rate.

Though the audio record control is done in the Camera #1~4 screen, there is no specific camera allocation.

1.8 ALARM CONTACTS INSTALLATION

The alarm inputs 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.

1.8.1 Alarm Input Contacts

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

(Normal Closed) Inputs have to be switched by dry contacts.

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

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. Theref ral keyboards is not possible with ore, e.g. the interconnection of seve

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, 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).

1.9.4 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.

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

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 5.10.4)

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!

1.10 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.

1.11 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:

1.11.1 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

10/100/1000 Mbps compatible network connection.

4.3 CAMERA SETTING

Figure 4-2 is a screenshot of the CAMERA SETTING MENU. This menu is used to configure individual

camera settings.

Figure 4-2 Camera Menu-Basic Setting

4.3.1 Basic Setting

Camera: Select the camera to be configured.

Title: The title setting allows you to assign a title to the selected camera. Each title supports up to 16

characters. The on-screen keyboard will appear when you click the title option.

Install: Check the box to enable the current camera. To take full advantage of the DVR’s recording abilities,

any unused cameras should have this option set to “disabled”.

Covert: Check the box to hide the camera picture in live and sequence modes. However, the image will still

be recorded and can be played back by any user who has playback rights.

Record Mode: 2 record modes are available.

Normal + Event: This recording mode includes continuous and event recording.

Event Only: Video will be recorded only when events occur.

Resolution: Select recording resolution based on video format.

NTSC: 704x480 / 704x240 / 352x240

PAL: 704x576 / 704x288 / 352x288

Record Quality: Select an image quality for recording. There are five different qualities available: Superior,

High, Standard, Basic and Low. A higher image quality uses more HDD space.

Normal Speed: Frame rate in frames (images) per second (FPS) for continuous recording. The speed is

limited by the maximum total recording capacity of the DVR as allocated across all the installed cameras,

with an upper limit of 30 FPS (NTSC – 25 PAL) per individual camera (real time recording). The DVR is

capable of recording 480 CIF (352x240) sized frames per second (NTSC; 400 PAL); each 704x240 image

(2 CIF) per second requires allocation of two of those CIF frames from the overall capacity of 480 CIF

frames, and each 704x480 image (D1 or 4 CIF) per second requires allocation of four of the CIF frames

from the overall capacity. Thus the DVR can record a combination of CIF, 2 CIF and 4 CIF images, with

different combinations of image size/resolution and different FPS rates on different cameras, so long as the

total CIF equivalents allocated is not greater than 480 CIF per second. Choices for possible record speeds

are 30, 15, 10, 7.5, 5, 3, 2 and 1 FPS.

Examples:

16 cameras at CIF resolution at 30 FPS: 16x30=480 FPS

2 cameras/4CIF/30FPS plus 5 cameras/2CIF/15FPS plus 9 cameras/CIF/10FPS:

2x4x30+5x2x15+9x1x10= 240+150+90 = 480

2 cameras/4CIF/30FPS plus 2 cameras/2CIF/30FPS plus 12 cameras/CIF/10FPS:

2x4x30+2x2x30+12x1x10= 240+120+120 = 480

In these examples, the recording capacity of the DVR is fully allocated to normal recording, with no reserve

capacity for increasing image size and/or FPS rate in response to a motion or alarm event (see next item).

Since EverFocus DVRs have the capability to change recorded image size and FPS rate in response to

events, it may be advisable to reserve some recording capacity for event response. For example:

2 cameras/4CIF/10FPS plus 5 cameras/2CIF/10FPS plus 9 cameras/CIF/5FPS:

2x4x10+5x2x10+9x1x5= 80+100+45 = 225 allocated with 255 in reserve

Recording capacity remaining for all cameras The number (shown to the right of the Normal Speed field):

here indicates the remaining unallocated recording capacity available for all cameras, scaled according to

the image size selected for the current camera. That is, the number shown is the number of available FPS

at that image size (which is the number of CIF FPS divided by the number of CIF equivalents required to

record that size image – 1, 2 or 4). Changing resoluti the settings for a camera on on a camera, or viewing

with a different resolution will cause this number to change in proportion to the relative image size. When

this number is positive, it means there is still recording capacity available for allocation. If this number is

negative, it means the recording capacity has been exceeded, and the user must lower a Normal Speed

recording rate or reduce the Resolution selected (which requires the DVR to use fewer CIF FPS to record

each image). This number must be positive before saving the changes. Otherwise, a pop-up window will

display “Total FPS exceed maximum recording rate, discard changes!” and the settings for all cameras will

return to previous values.

Event Speed: Maximum desired frame rate in frames per second (FPS) for event recording; if more than

one camera requires simultaneous event recording, the total for all cameras cannot exceed the maximum

available FPS for the DVR at the corresponding resolution setting, and the available FPS may be divided

across the cameras responding to an event. In the example above, with 225 CIF FPS allocated and 255

CIF FPS remaining, it would be possible to increase the FPS rate on the two 4 CIF cameras from 10 FPS

to 15 FPS and also increase the resolution and rate of the five 2 CIF cameras to 4 CIF and 15 FPS, with 15

CIF equivalent FPS still available to be assigned to one or more of the nine CIF resolution cameras. If not

all event conditions occur simultaneously, greater resolution and/or FPS increases are possible for

individual cameras, as long as the net total of 480 CIF equivalents is not exceeded.

4.7 NETWORK SETTING

Figure 4-25 is a screenshot of the NETWORK SETTING MENU. This menu is for configuring the DVR for a

network connection.

NOTE: Since every Network Configuration is different, please check with your Network Administrator or ISP

to see if your DVR should use specific IP addresses and/or port numbers.

Figure 4-25 Network Menu – LAN

4.7.1 LAN

Network Type:

Static IP: User can set a fixed IP for network connection.

DHCP: DHCP server in LAN will automatically an assign IP configuration for the network connection

PPPoE: For direct connection to DSL ONLY. Verify with your ISP if they use PPPoE.

IP: This field shows the DVR’s current IP Address. A static IP address must be set manually. If DHCP or

PPPoE is selected, this value will be assigned automatically.

Subnet Mask: This field shows the subnet mask for your network so the DVR will be recognized within the

network. If DHCP or PPPoE is selected, this value will be assigned automatically.

Gateway: This field shows the gateway on your network for the DVR to use when communicating with any

devices not on the local network. If DHCP or PPPoE is selected, this value will be assigned automatically.

DNS Server 1: This field shows the primary DNS server for your network. If DHCP is selected and an

internet connection is available, this value should be assigned automatically. This field must have a valid

DNS address in order to use the DDNS feature (see Sections 4.6.3 and 7 DDNS for more detail).

DNS Server 2: This field shows the secondary DNS server for your network.

HTTP Port: Port number for HTTP/WEB communication.

Additional information:

1. Set up the DVR Network Menu according to the instructions detailed in the Networking chapter of this

DVR’s manual.

a. If using DHCP, all settings will be detected automatically. While DHCP is a useful tool for

determining the network settings, if you set up your DVR in this manner its IP address may

change at different times for different reasons, particularly after a power failure. If the IP

address of the DVR changes, you may have difficulties accessing your DVR locally and/or

remotely. It is strongly recommended that you assign a fixed (static) IP address to your

DVR, and that in order to avoid address conflicts the IP address assigned be outside of the

DHCP range of addresses your router issues to DHCP clients. Please do not set the DHCP

address issued to the DVR by the router as its static IP address unless you take specific steps

that program your router to prevent such address conflicts.

b. If using a Fixed IP (recommended), you will need to input the information manually. In order for

DDNS to work, you must enter valid data, compatible with your network, for all four of the

network setting fields: IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and the DNS Address

(depending on your network hardware and configuration this may be the IP address of your

router/gateway, or it may be the actual IP address of the local DNS server).

The DNS server IP is required because your DNS server provides critical information

necessary for the DVR to communicate with the DDNS server.

You can obtain the actual DNS IP from your Internet Service Provider (ISP); or, from a PC located on the

same LAN as the DVR, go to http://www.dnsserverlist.org/ to obtain a list of the IP addresses of their

recommendation of the best servers to use for your location.

2. If you are connecting through a router, make sure that you have ‘opened up’ all the required network

ports in the port forwarding section of your router’s setup options. That is, you have directed the router to

send any incoming traffic using those IP ports to the LAN IP address of the DVR. Useful information about

router port forwarding can be found at www.portforward.com . Different routers may use different terms for

port forwarding function. For instance, D-Link calls it , Netopia calls it virtual server pinholes.

The default port for the ECOR264 is: 80

Note: Port 80 is the default port used for web browsing. Because of this, in order to prevent the average

user from hosting a web server, most ISPs BLOCK traffic using port 80 from reaching the average site. If

you only plan to view your DVR on a LAN, you can use port 80, and don’t have to concern yourself with

DDNS or routers. However, if you desire remote access to your DVR, perhaps using DDNS (optional), you

MUST select functional ports and set up the port forwarding in your router. Other ports, such as 8080 and

8000 are sometimes blocked by ISPs as well.

What port(s) should be used? There are 65,535 valid IP ports to choose from. These are broken down into

three groups:

• Well Known Ports 0 thru 1023

• Registered Ports 1024 thru 49151

• Dynamic and/or Private Ports 49152 thru 65535

So, rather than encounter a port conflict by choosing a port commonly used for another purpose (like port

25 for SMTP mail or port 448 for secure sockets), choose an ‘unusual’ port number. For example, add

50,000 to your house number: 50,123 is less likely to lead to a port conflict. For a list of the known and

registered ports, see http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

Bandwidth Limit: Specify, disabled / 128 K/ 256 K / 512 K / 768K/ 1M / 3M bps. This is the maximum

bandwidth that the DVR is allowed to use on the network. This is a useful function when connecting the

DVR to busy or heavily loaded networks, or when accessing the DVR(s) over a WAN.

DVR Name: Input the desired name for the DVR

The DDNS name you choose must be unique; that is, it must not already be in use. Please go to the

website http://everfocusddns.com and check that the name you wish to use is available.

PLEASE NOTE: The name of the DVR cannot include a space, or a dot (period) or any special

characters particularly ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + < > " ; : . , _

In the DVR’s Network Menu above, go to DDNS. Choose “everfocusddns.com” for the Server and put in

your chosen name (verified available and without special characters) for DVR Name/hostname.

Press the Select or Submit/Update button to synchronize the DVR with the DDNS server. You should see

an indication of “Success” on the screen. If you see “Could Not Find Server” or any other error message

instead, double-check your network settings and DDNS name and resubmit the DDNS name until you get

“Success”. You should now be able to connect by typing in the host name you created.

Example: http://hostname.everfocusddns.com

It is not necessary to append the HTTP port number to the DDNS name. The EverFocus DDNS server not

only keeps track of your DVR’s IP address, it keeps track of the ports too!
