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, DVR cascading 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.
DVR cascading The digital video recorders provide "CASCADE IN" and "CASCADE OUT" video connections. In combination with RS-485 remote control, up to 8 EDR920/1640 can be cascaded and administrated via one single main monitor. Cascading is effected by connecting the DVRs „CASCADE OUT“ to the „CASCADE IN“ of the following DVR, while the last „CASCADE OUT“ is connected to the monitor input. By means of the RS-485 address sent from the keyboard, the respective DVR is switched on the monitor.
2.3 Audio connection installation Sample installation with audio connection to video cameras providing audio output: The EDR920/1640 DVRs provide 4 audio inputs and 1 audio output. The inputs are designed for max. 500 mV to 10 KOhm line audio signals. ATTENTION: The direct connection of a non-amplified microphone is not supported (a microphone amplifier is required). The installation has to be effected with audio coax cable and RCA plugs. The output provides a max.
2.4 RS-485 keyboard installation All EDR920/1640 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 EKB-500 uses an RS-485 simplex wiring; the signal is transferred via a single twisted pair line.
A direct RS-485 bus star wiring is not supported; star wiring requires the use of signal distributors. Improper RS-485 bus star wiring 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.
2.4.2 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): 2.4.
2.4.4 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.
2.5 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 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.
2.6 Alarm input / output installation The EDR920/1640 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. EDR920 provides 9 alarm inputs, EDR1640 provides 16. All inputs are programmable NO/NC. Inputs have to be switched through dry contacts. The 4 output relays provide a dry NO/NC contact.
2.7 PS/2 mouse installation EDR920/1640 may optionally be controlled through PS/2 wheelmouse which must be connected before system start-up. 2.8 Installation EDA800s harddisk expansion unit The EDR920/1640 image storage capacity can be expanded using EDA800s harddisk expansion units. Max. 6 EDA800s with 8 harddisks each can be connected via SCSI bus. For installation details of the EDA-800S harddisk expansion unit, please refer to the EDA800s manual.
2.9 Network connection EDR920/1640 DVRs provide fast MPEG-4 format image transmission and network remote configuration. This chapter doesn‘t go into basic network technique details. For further information, especially about router installation and internet connection, please refer to the publication "EverFocus network technique". Physically, two basic types of connection are possible: 2.9.1.
2.10 Harddisks Insert the pre-assembled harddisks incl. frames into the HDD tray. Both harddisks must be jumpered as „CS – Cable Select“. Make sure that both harddisks have reached the stop position and use the key switch to lock the harddisk tray. ATTENTION: Use only harddisks approved for the use with EDR920/1640 DVRs.

APPENDIX C: Remote control protocol 3. Remote control protocol The following remote control protocol applies to RS232 and RS485 remote control. The EEPBus protocol is a universal control protocol for EDSR and EDR (MPEG4) series’ digital video recorders. Therefore, it may occur that some of the following commands are not available for all DVR types. 1-1.
APPENDIX C: Remote control protocol 2-1. The format of message packet is as follows: Length Byte (Prefix: 0x86, 0x87, or 0x88 ..... ) Receiver ID high byte Receiver ID low byte Opcode Byte Data Byte1 Data Byte2 Data Byte3 Checksum Byte 2-2. Length Byte This Length Byte is also a prefix. Bit7 must be 1. EX: 0x87 ==> this packet has 7 bytes length.
APPENDIX C: Remote control protocol 2-3. Receiver ID 1.
APPENDIX C: Remote control protocol 2-4. Opcode Byte & Data bytes 2-4-1. OPcode OPcode Data1 Function 0x4B Keycode A remote key pressed 0x4D command Matrix command 2-4-2.
APPENDIX C: Remote control protocol 2-4-3.
APPENDIX D: 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. The following calculations represent sample values for continuous recording. Actually achieved values may differ and can be calculated by means of test recordings if required. The value IMAGES/S refers to the total DVR recording rate (all installed cameras).
