Before we begin the process of networking your digital recorder we should have a working knowledge of what a network is and how it works. This will be a helpful in completing the networking process.

  • Page 95: Virtual Ports

    10.5 Pre-Installation Before we begin with the installation we must ask ourselves a few questions in order to figure out where to begin with networking our DVR’s. Do you have Hi-speed Internet? There are many types of high speed Internet available. Three commonly used ones are T1, Cable, and DSL (in order of speed).
  • Page 96 That way, you can host a website, email server, or other type of server connection. Everfocus suggest using a static IP address. If your Internet provider does not offer a static IP address you have the option to use a dynamic IP address.

  • Page 97: What Type Of Network Connection Do You Have

    10.6 What Type of Network Connection do you have? Everfocus DVR’s can operate using three distinct types of networking connections. 1. Simple One to One Connection: A simple one to one connection is the most simple network connection. Basically it is a connection between a Computer and Another Computer or in this case a DVR using a cross-over cable.
  • Page 98 Once you have a cross over cable plug one end into the LAN port on the back of the recorder and the other into the network card on the back of the computer. Now Log into the Everfocus DVR menu and using the jog dial from the previous chapter go to the Network Setting Menu.
