The installation must be done with audio coax cable and RCA plugs. AUDIO RECORDING FUNCTIONALITY: The audio channels 1...4 are assigned to the video input channels 1...4 for recording, playback and network stream. Audio recording is activated / deactivated in the Camera Menu for Camera #1~4.
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.

1.9 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. 1.9.1 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.
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.
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.

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. Figure 4-25 Network Menu – LAN 4.7.1 4.6.1 LAN Network Type: Static IP User can set a fixed IP for network connection. DHCP DHCP server in LAN will automatically assign IP for 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.
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.
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 unlikely to lead to a port conflict.

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.fakeaddress.
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. With a static IP address, other Internet users always know the address of your location and can easily connect with it. This makes it much simpler to host a website, email server, or other type of server connection. Everfocus suggests using a static IP address. If this is not available, you will need to use a dynamic IP address. This is explained below.
5.7 Simple One to One Connection Crossover Ethernet Cable Pin outs: The Figure below shows the pin configurations for a cross-over cable. 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.
To assign a fixed IP address in Windows 2000/XP.

Click on the option that says “Use the following IP address” Assign an IP address of 192.168.1.2, a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, and a Default Gateway of 192.168.1.1, then click OK. Restart both the computer and the DVR. To access the DVR from the computer, simply open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type: http://192.168.1.
5.8 Direct High Speed Modem 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.
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. To access the DVR from a computer, open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type: http:// (IP address given by your internet service provider) Note: When using this type of connection, only one device can be connected to the modem at a time.
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.
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. To manually assign an address: Go to a computer connected on the same network as the DVR. Click on the Start button and choose Run. o If using Windows Vista, choose Search instead. Type “command” and click on OK. o In Vista, you will need to double-click on the “Command Prompt” file to open it..
The next step is to open ports within your router. Log into the router using a PC and open the following ports. o Ports to open: 80, 1600 o If your Internet service provider blocks port 80, you can change it to a different port in the DVR’s Network Menu Setup. o If you are using a Linksys or D-Link router, see Chapter 9 for basic support on setting up ports. For any other router, you will need to contact the manufacturer for support.
