1GENERAL INFORMATION AND SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder with one common goal, allowing end-users to record / retrieve real
time video files with a few mouse clicks. Within the last decade, video encrypt/decrypt algorithms achieved
noticeable improvement along with the availability of large capacity digital storage devices that draw attention
to designing DVR systems. With this in mind, 247Security Inc. has designed and built the ZEUS Series equipment
to make this transition smooth for the in-vehicle applications, specifically the transportation industry.
The ZEUS employs high performance video compression modified h.266 standard to optimize video/audio
data stream so that it can be sent over a network or stored directly on a local disk. The compression algorithm
mainly runs on a DSP Engine, therefore freeing up valuable resources within the system to do other jobs. The
ZEUS has features such as dynamic bit rate, controllable frame rate (max 120fps total), image quality control,
real-time previewing on all channels, alarm triggers, sensor configuration, easy retrieval and transfer of video
files over WIFI/LAN, GPS tracking and much more. In addition, ZEUS allows end-users to independently
manipulate these parameters for each camera if desired.
1.2 SPECIFICATIONS

•Each channel can be set independently using D1 (720x480), CIF (360x240), DCIF (528x352)
configurations
Video Compression

today. Four different levels of video quality configurations.
Video Recording Frame Rate
•Channels can be independently set to record from 1fps to 30 fps
•All channels can record simultaneously at 30fps with D1 (720x480) resolution.
Video recording channels

2.1.4 POWER INPUT CONNECTOR
The ZEUS has a built-in Intelligent power switcher that can operate from +8V ~ +24V DC-IN. The
ON/OFF signal connects to the vehicle’s ignition signal. The ZEUS uses this signal to trigger the power shut-off
delay and the timing circuitry. The ZEUS will remain ON until the shut-off delay time has been reached. The
system will then go through its normal shutdown procedures before completely powering down. The GND
(Common DC ground) signal should be connected to the vehicle common ground.

The ZEUS supports a maximum of 4 cameras. These Micro-fit connectors are used to connect the
camera inputs to the ZEUS system (video and audio) using a gang plug adapter for the cameras. Also included in
each camera connection is DV12V Out to power the camera. You can refer to the cover of the DVR for the PIN
assignments of each connector. If any of these cameras are not connected properly (for instance loose cables,
unplugged etc…) than the ZEUS intelligently notifies the end-users with “black screen and OSD info” on the
preview screen. Camera inputs are labeled CAMERA 1, CAMERA 2, CAMERA 3 and CAMERA 4

2.2.2 EVENT MARKER CABLE
A 15 ft cable is already connected to the Event Marker and pre-wired to a 2X3 Molex connector; the
Molex connector will then connect to the event marker port on the back of the DVR. The event marker uses 3
digital outputs for Video Lost, Recording & Power LED’s and 1 digital input for the push button. The push
button is used for pre/post trigger recording which when pressed, marks the video files at that specific
moment. Pre-event and Post-event time locking can be configured in the DVR setup.
