INSTALLATION 2. INSTALLATION ATTENTION: The installation should be effected by qualified personnel only. Connect power source only after having finished the further installation. 2.1 Delivery scope Check the delivery scope (see 4.) before starting the installation. 2.2 Video connection installation Sample installation with maximum camera and monitor configuration: Cameras and monitors have to be cabled with 75 Ohm video cable, e.g. RG-59, RG-12 and suitable BNC plugs.
2.3 RS-485 keyboard installation All EDR910/1610 functions can be remote-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 comprise up to 8 keyboards. 2.3.1 General RS-485 bus installation EKB-500 uses an RS-485 simplex wiring; the signal is transferred via a single twisted pair line.
If star wiring is inevitable, EDA 997A RS-485 signal distributors may be used. The maximum system cable length can also be expanded by using these distributors, physically providing a new RS-485 bus with 1200 m cable length each at every distributor output. Star wiring with RS-485 signal distributor In case the maximum number of 32 bus participants is exceeded, the number of connected devices can be increased by using RS-485 distributors.
2.3.2 RS-485 plug connection assignment The two RS-485 input RJ-45 plugs are looped through and pin-compatible. The following RJ-45 plug assignment has to be considered for connection: Pin 3: RS-485 + Pin 6: RS-485 - The following illustration shows the connector box assignment of the optional EDA998 connection kit (connector box, patch cable): 2.3.
2.3.4 EKB-500 connection to several DVRs For long distance installations connecting several DVRs, the use of the optional EDA998 connection kit is recommended: EKB 500 installation with several DVRs and EDA998 connection kit For further details on keyboard connection, please refer to the EKB 500 manual. RS-485 port communication settings are configured in the RS-232/485 menu.
2.4 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 the optional EKB 500 keyboard. ATTENTION: The basic RS-485 wiring rules described in chapter 2.3.1. also apply to the connection of speed domes or telemetry receivers.
2.5 Alarm input / output installation The EDR910/1610 alarm inputs can be used for recording start or recording rate adjustment. Furthermore, alarm reactions such as camera switching to monitors, buzzer, e-mail and network alarm are available. An alarm output relay can be switched if required. EDR910 provides 9 alarm inputs, EDR1610 provides 16. All inputs are programmable NO/NC. Inputs have to be switched through dry contacts. The relay provide a dry NO/NC contact.
2.6 PS/2 mouse installation EDR910/1610 may optionally be controlled through USB wheelmouse which must be connected before system start-up. The mouse connector is the lower USB socket at the front panel. 2.7 Network connection EDR910/1610 DVRs provide fast MPEG-4 format image transmission and network remote configuration. This chapter doesn‘t go into basic network technique details.
2.7.3. Network system requirements Connection type: 100Base-T Max.
2.8 IR remote control extension The optional IR remote control EDA966 has a range of ~10m within the range of vision. This maximum range can be extended by using the EDA967 (10m) and EDA968 (20m) extension cables. Remote control extension with EDA967/968 2.9 Power connection Connect the DVR to the power source (100~240 VAC 50/50 Hz) using the included IEC cable.

APPENDIX C: Recording times Average recording times, based on 100GB harddisk capacity. Using the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) method, the storage requirement per image depends on the image’s colour and contrast content and captured motion.
