7.3 REMOTE LIVE VIEW VIA SMART PHONE
You can now get remote access to your EverFocus DVRs and view all their camera feeds remotely from any web-capable smart
phone and via any web browser. (These DVRs include EverFocus' "High Definition", "Paragon", "Paragon264", and "ECOR264" lines
of DVRs). Of course, you can also access your EverFocus DVRs from any web-connected computer, simply by entering the DVR's IP
address or DDNS name in your web browser (see Section B below and Section 7.1 and 7.4).
To Live View from a smart phone, you first need to make sure that the DVR, its router and your smart phone is configured correctly.
Please follow the following procedure (A or B).
Please note that the examples provided below are for general use only. Your system may require different values.
4 ARE ONLY FOR IF YOUR CURRENT CONNECTION SETUP DOES NOT WORK – IGNORE THEM IF YOU DO NOT EXPERIENCE
CONNECTION PROBLEMS.
Service Provider for the appropriate settings:
A) LIVE VIEWING WITH THE MOBILEFOCUS APP:
1) Download and install the MobileFocus App on your smart phone:
a.
For an Android phone this app can be downloaded from Android Market and for the iPhone it can be downloaded
from the iTunes store. The BlackBerry version can be downloaded from this link –
http://www.everfocus.com/blackberry/MobileFocus.jad
b. A detailed guide on downloading and using MobileFocus can be found at this link –

2) In your DVR's user interface, enter this static IP address for your DVR:
NOTE: The static IP address prescribed in this section should only be used if the DVR does not already have a static IP
address. This address is intended for relatively simple network environments, like that of a home or small retail outlet. If
you cannot access your DVR via the Internet after completing this procedure, it would mean that your LAN (private network)
is probably more complex and you need to ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to give you a suitable static IP address
for your DVR.
a.
On your DVR, right-click to open the main menu bar and then click this sequence: Configuration > Network Setting
> LAN.
b. In the Network Type field, select "Static IP".
c.
In the IP field, enter 192.168.1.50
d. Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
e.
Gateway : 192.168.1.1
f.
DNS Server 1 : 192.168.1.1 (you can leave the "DNS Server 2" field blank)
g.
HTTP Port : 80 (if this default port number has changed, note the new number and enter it in the "HTTP Port"
fields below – if this port is blocked by your ISP, ask them to unblock it or enter a high number like "549839")
3) Enter your DVR's static IP address in your Router/Access Point's 'Port Forwarding' setup page:
a.
Access the user interface of the Router/Access Point that is connected to your DVR. (This is usually done by
entering the router/AP's IP address in your web browser's address bar. See your router/AP's manual for details.)
b. In the router's user interface, navigate to the Port Forwarding setup page.
c.
Add your DVR's details: External Port = 80; Internal IP = 192.168.1.50 (as in Step 2 above); Port = 80 (or whatever
HTTP port you selected in Step 2.g. above).
d. If you need to add another DVR to this router's Port Forwarding table (i.e. if another DVR is also connected to the
router and you also want to view that DVR's camera feeds remotely), give the second DVR the same IP address but
let it end with "51" instead of "50" (see Step 2.c. above), and then External Port = 8080, Port = 80 (no change –
remember that this port should be the same as what was selected in Step 2.g. above).
e.
If you need to add a third DVR, the IP address should end with "52" and then External Port = 8888, Port = 80 (or
whatever HTTP port you selected in Step 2.g. above).
f.
Remember to save/confirm your new settings.
