ATTENTION: The installation should be effected by qualified personnel only.
Connect power source only after having finished the further installation.
2.1 Delivery scope
2. INSTALLATION
Check the delivery scope (see 4.) before starting the installation.
2.2 Video connection installation, DVR cascading
15
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.
Due to inappropriate absorbability, 50 Ohm coax cable (e.g. RG58), antenna cable and
further types of coax cable are not suitable.
All connected video sources must provide a 1 Vpp PAL/CCIR standard video signal.
When interconnecting transmission lines (twisted pair, fibre optics, radio) to the video inputs,
ensure the accurate receiver calibration.
The MAIN monitor may optionally be connected through a Y-C (S-Video) cable to achieve an
improved image quality.
For local DVR operation, MAIN monitor connection is compulsory. Call and matrix monitors
can be connected optionally.
ATTENTION: Make sure that there‘s a video signal on video input 1 upon start-up, as this
input is required for video system auto detection (PAL/NTSC)!
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.
This function is available for main monitor only.
Installation with 3 cascaded EDR and EKB-500
16
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. 500 mV to 10 KOhm line audio signal and may be connected to e.g.
a monitor‘s audio input. The direct connection of (passive) speakers is not supported.
AUDIO RECORDING FUNCTIONALITY:
Audio recording is activated / deactivated in the RECORDING menu for all channels.
Audio of all channels is always recorded together with (each) video and is independent of the
image recording rate. There is no specific camera allocation.
During playback, use the JOG to select the requested playback channel 1~4 (active channel is
indicated in playback on-screen display).
17
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.
CAT5 network cable is recommended, UPT version (unshielded) is sufficient for normal
application. A shielded cable should be used if the installed cables are expected to be highly
susceptible to interferences.
The number of devices installed in one bus is limited to 32 (expandable through signal
distributors).
Basically, the bus should be created by serial wiring, star wiring is only permitted using signal
distributors.
Maximum RS-485 bus cable length is 1200 m. Both the first and the last device are normally
120 Ohm terminated in order to minimize line reflexions.
RS-485 bus serial wiring
Cable length from box to device („Stubs“) has to be limited to 2m using connector boxes.
RS-485 bus serial wiring with connector boxes and connection cable
18
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.
Star wiring with RS-485 signal distributor
ATTENTION: The RS-485 signal distributor EDA997A is unidirectional! This means that the
signal only flows from the input towards the outputs. Therefore, e.g. the
interconnection of several keyboards is not possible with this 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. Each distributor output physically
provides one RS-485 bus which enables the additional connection of 31 further devices (the
distributor output represents one bus participant itself).
The maximum system expandability depends on the RS-485 address range of the installed
devices.
System expansion with RS-485 signal distributor
19
For a simple, short distance installation, recorder and keyboard can directly be connected using a
standard network cable (patch cable, uncrossed!).
2.4.3 EKB-500 connection with network patch cable
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):
20
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.
21
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.
Supported protocols: EverFocus, ED2200/2250, Pelco-D, Pelco-P
The optional RS-485 connection kit is recommended for easy installation.
For RS-485 port pin assignment, please refer to chapter 2.3.2.
Sample installation with 3 EPTZ1000 speed domes and EDA998
Sample installation with 3 EPTZ1000 speed dome, EDA998 and local EKB 500 operation
Required DVR settings: RS-485 receiver address in CAMERA menu
RS-485 parameters and protocol in RS232/485 menu
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!
22
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.
All settings are programmed in the ALARM menu.
Use either the 37-pin Sub-D plug or the included adaptor board for connection.

(6) REC SPEED ON TIME ZONE:
The EDR DVR offers 8 different timers for scheduled recording. The settings of the last
row “N” (normal) apply to those periods not captured by a timer schedule (setup in
TIMER menu)
For recording rate, the following steps are available: 1;2;3;4;5;6;8;10;12,5;25 images/s.
In case no timer is activated, the DVR only operates according to the settings of row “N”.
TP: Timer program 1~8, schedule setup and activation are defined in the TIMER menu.
N: (Normal) all periods not captured by a timer schedule.
In case no timer is activated, the DVR only operates according to these settings.
NORMAL: IPS recording rate for manual or scheduled recording and recording controlled through
“REC IN” input contact. The maximum image rate is limited to:
Max. image rate per camera = max. DVR recording rate / number of installed cameras.
Max. DVR recording rate depends on recording resolution:
EDR920: 360x288: 200 image / second
720x288: 100 images / second
720x576: 50 images / second
EDR1640: 360x288: 400 images / second
720x288: 200 images / second
720x576: 100 images / second
Example: EDR1640 with 12 installed cameras, resolution 720x288:
200 IPS : 12 = 16,6 IPS > maximum adjustable recording rate per camera: 12,5 IPS
(5) REC QUALITY: Individual recording quality setting for this camera (within the resolution
defined in RECORDING menu):
SUPERIOR
HIGH
STANDARD
BASIC

ATTENTION: The conversion of video files recorded with 720x288 recording resolution will
result in AVI files with half the image height. For these files, it is recommended to make use of
playback software able to correct the aspect ratio (e.g. MediaPlayer Classic, freeware, download
on www.everfocus.de).
The EDR viewer consists of one file only: EDRViewer.exe. Save this file to your PC and run
the exe file.

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.

APPENDIX C: Remote control protocol
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).
