    Chapter 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.
  • Page 91: Virtual Ports

    There are many types of high speed Internet available. The most common ones are T1, Cable, and DSL (in order of speed). The DVR is not compatible with a dial-up connection.  Note: EverFocus suggests having a minimum upload speed of 256KBps. This can be addressed by your Internet Service Provider.
  • Page 92: What Is Your Network Setup

    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.
  • Page 93: Simple One To One Connection

     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.
  • Page 94  You must use the Static IP option for this type of connection.  Assign an IP of 192.168.001.003, a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.000, and a Gateway of 192.168.001.001. You can ignore DNS Server.  The next step is to set the computer’s network settings to match those of the DVR. You will need Administrator privileges on your Windows machine to do this.

  • Page 99  Take the values for Subnet Mask and Default Gateway and input them into the DVR; these values should be exactly the same in both devices. However, you should change the last number of the IP address. For example, if the IP address of the computer is 192.168.2.101, the DVR’s IP address should be 192.168.002.050.
