2 Installation 2.1 HD-CCTV wiring for video inputs 2.1.1 Understanding HD-CCTV signals and wiring Even if EverFocus HD-CCTV equipment uses coaxial cable and BNC type plugs similar to standard CCTV technology - the requirements for wiring and cable types are some different. This chapter explains some basic facts for HD-CCTV signals and cable requirements. 2.1.
Well known signal parts such as Sync, Burst and others do not exist here. The high frequencies do not allow a signal evaluation by standard oscilloscopes or other standard video measurement tools. Only quite expensive HD-SDI analyzers and upscale HF - oscilloscopes could be used here. In most cases such equipment is not available at installation site. For this reason a careful specification of the cable type is mandatory for system planning, especially in applications with long cable distances. 2.1.
2.1.4 Cable installation Please make sure, that the coaxial cable is not squeezed at any position. Also the max. bending radius defined by the cable manufacturer should be considered. General rule: maximum bending radius = 10 x outer cable diameter Bending creates pressure on the center conductor, causing it to move through the dielectric toward the inside of the bend. This affects impedance and return loss and reduces the maximum possible cable length.
2.1.7 Extended cable lengths with fiber optics transmission The maximum distance between camera and receiving device can be extended by fiber optics cable. The transmitters and receivers are available for multi-mode and single-mode fiber cables: EHA-FTX-MM: EHA-FTX-SM: EHA-RTX-MM: EHA-RTX-SM: Fiber optics transmitter multi-mode, max. transmission distance 500 m Fiber optics transmitter single-mode, max. transmission distance 21 Km Fiber optics receiver multi-mode, max.
2.1.8 Monitor installation The EPHD-8 provides 2 main monitor outputs with identical functionality - VGA and HDMI. Both outputs can be used simultaneously and deliver full HD output resolution ( 1920x1080, progressive, 60 Hz. vert., 68 KHz hor.). Make sure that the connected monitor's specifications comply with these resolution requirements. Please do not exceed the max. HDMI cable length of 15 m.
2.2 AUDIO INSTALLATION This DVR provides 8 line level audio input 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 channels are assigned to the video channels 1~8 for recording and export.
Output relay in idle state 2.4 RS-485 keyboard / PTZ Installation All 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. 2.4.1 General RS-485 bus installation The EKB-500 keyboard uses a RS-485 simplex wiring; the signal is transferred via a single twisted pair line.
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).
2.4.2 RS-485 socket pin assignment The RS485 pin assignment is as follows: 2.4.3 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). 2.4.
2.5 USB-Mouse installation Connect the USB mouse to one of the 2 USB ports. (This can be done while DVR is powered on) NOTE: Recommended mouse types are Logitech® and Microsoft® wired USB wheel-mouse. Wireless USB mouse is not supported. 2.6 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: 2.6.
2.6.2 Network Connection through Patch Cable The connection to an existing network requires a normal patch cable (straight-through). The illustration shows the connection to a network switch or router. Figure 2-2 Network Connection through Patch Cable Pinout of straight patch cable 2.7 FINAL INSTALL PROCESS Once you have completed the basic wiring connections, you are ready to turn on the DVR. Simply plug in the power source. The POWER LED will light up if power is normal.

Chapter 5 5 Networking Overview This chapter will give you a basic instruction on how to set up the DVR for network connection. It is highly recommended that you have a working knowledge of what a network is and how it works. This will be helpful in completing the networking process. 5.1 Introduction to TCP/IP TCP/IP is the group of protocols used by the Internet and most Local Area Networks (LANs) throughout the world.
5.4 Virtual Ports A port number represents a "channel" or entryway for network communications. Port numbers allow different computers to utilize network resources without interfering with each other. Port numbers most commonly appear in network programming, particularly socket programming. Sometimes, though, port numbers are made visible to the casual user. For example, some websites on the Internet use a URL like the following: http://www.sitename.
The modem/router was either installed by your Internet service provider or purchased by you to establish a connection to the Internet. A router assigns different internal IP addresses to local computers; this allows multiple computers to access the Internet through the same external IP address. Do you have a static IP address? ______________ A Static IP address means you use the same IP address every time you connect to the Internet.
2. Direct High Speed Modem Connection: A direct modem connection uses a standard network cable to connect the modem directly to a computer (or in this case a modem to the DVR). This type of connection only covers single-port modems. For a combination modem/router, use the setup described below. 3. Router or LAN Connection – A local area network connection requires either a router or a preexisting LAN connection. This is the most common type of connection.
Connection Procedure: The First step is to purchase or make a cross-over cable. We recommend purchasing one if you have never made a cross-over cable. Please remember you can not use a straight through network cable for this application Once you have a cross-over cable plug one end into the LAN port on the back of the DVR and the other into the network card on the back of the computer. Log into the EverFocus DVR menu and go to the Network Setting Menu.

Log into the EverFocus DVR menu and go to the Network Setting Menu. Input the Static IP address, the Subnet Mask, and the Gateway that you obtained from the internet service provider. Note: If you have a dynamic IP address, you can set the DVR to DHCP to automatically detect the network settings. Therefore, it can use a dynamic IP address. Exit from the DVR’s Menu to save the settings.
5.9 Router or LAN Connection Straight Through Ethernet Cable Pin outs: The Figure below shows the pin configurations for a straight cable. Connection Procedure: The First step is to purchase or make a straight through cable. We recommend purchasing one if you have never made a straight through cable.
Once you have a straight through cable plug one end into the LAN port on the back of the recorder and the other into the router. Log into the EverFocus DVR menu and go to the Network Setting Menu. To let the router automatically assign an address: Set the Network Type to DHCP. Make sure to write down the IP address and the Gateway. Exit from the Menu to save settings.
