Pre-Installation
EverFocus' NVR can operate using one of three types of networking connections.
Simple One to One Connection: A simple one to one connection is the simplest type of network
connection. It uses a cross-over cable to make a direct connection from one computer to
another (or in this case a computer to a NVR).
Direct High Speed Modem Connection: A direct modem connection uses a standard network
cable to connect the modem directly to a computer (or in this case a modem to the NVR). This
type of connection only covers single-port modems. For a combination modem/router, use the
setup described below.
Router or LAN Connection – A local area network connection requires either a router or a
pre-existing LAN connection. This is the most common type of connection. A router allows
multiple computers and NVR's to access each other as well as the Internet. It assigns different
internal IP addresses to the computers.
