4. Recording Overview  
Before continuing with the Recording Overview please be sure to have reviewed DVR Menu  
Setup (Chapter 3) specifically the camera & schedule. You are now ready to begin setting up  
the machine for recording. This chapter will show you how to setup the recorder for three  
basic types of recording: Instant recording, scheduled recording, and event recording.  
Instant recording (N) is simple as it sounds its instantaneous, basically manually pressing  
the record button for recording, much like pressing the record button on a VCR. Scheduled  
recording (1~8) is based upon a set time period of when to begin & end the recording.  
Event recording would consist of an alarm or motion having taken place to trigger the DVR  
to record on that event.  
4.1 Instant (N) Recording Setup  
Press the Record key to start recording immediately.  
When REC is pressed, the pictures being monitored will be recorded  
in the HDD.  
REC  
The recording quality and recording speed can be set in the CAMERA  
SETUP MENU. To set the target camera for a particular recording  
speed /IPS (when using the instant record method). Apply the  
changes to the last Time Period (TP) row labeled N.  
A “R01” sign appears in the record status bar. The number following R  
signifies HDD number.  
Press STOP key to stop instant recording.  
STOP  
The STOP key can be activated only in instant recording mode, but  
not available in the schedule or event recording mode.  
When the HDD is full, the machine will stop recording automatically or  
overwrite from the beginning of the HDD. It depends on the setting in  
the RECORD SETUP MENU.

Note:  
If STOP key is pressed while machine is recording or playing video, the playing function will  
be disabled first. If STOP key is pressed twice the DVR will come out of record mode  
completely.  
4.2 Schedule Recording Setup  
Set up the DAY, START time, END time and then enable the SET in the SCHEDULE  
SETUP MENU.  
Diagram 4.1  
Please refer to SCHEDULE SETUP MENU, to see setting procedure and more details.

4.3 Event Recording Setup  
We will now define two event recording types ALARM and MOTION. After the event  
recording is enabled, the DVR will start an event recording when an event occurs. For  
instance, when motion activity is detected by the DVR it will begin recording at the specific  
IPS set under event column. Or when an alarm is detected by the DVR it will begin recording  
at the specific IPS set under event column.  
In order to start an event recording, you will NEED to perform the following:  
1. Enable the event in each event (alarm or motion menu) setting first. For example  
(motion), enable Camera 2 in the MOTION SETUP MENU (shown as below). You can  
enable multiple alarm or motion triggers.  
Diagram 4.2

2. When the event and schedule are set, enter the CAMERA SETUP MENU to set the  
event recording speed (IPS) of the camera in the time period (TP) section.  
69  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
3. After enabling an event, you need to set a time period (TP) in the SCHEDULE SETUP  
MENU. An event recording must be set in a scheduled time period (TP). You can refer to  
the SCHEDULE SETUP MENU for time period configurations (Chapter 3.8).  
Diagram 4.4  
Note:  
1
Set the normal record speed as 0 IPS in the CAMERA SETUP MENU, and Set the time  
period (TP) from 00:00 to 00:00 daily in the SCHEDULE SETUP MENU if you only want to  
record an events activity recording (motion or alarm).  
2
Please be reminded that Schedule setting must be done after Camera setting for event  
recording setup.  
3
If user changes recording speed while the machine is recording, the new recording speed  
won’t take effect. Therefore, stop recording first before changing the recording speed.

DVR provides a record function which is triggered by external signal via the 19th pin of the  
ALARM INPUT / OUTPUT port. When the record input signal is pulled low constantly, DVR

10. Networking Overview  
This chapter will try to give you a detailed instruction on how to network the DVR. 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.  
10.1 Introduction to TCP/IP  
TCP/IP is the suite of protocols used by the Internet and most LANs (Local Area  
Networks) throughout the world. In TCP/IP, every host (computer or other  
communications device) that is connected to the network has a unique IP address. By  
doing this you are giving your device a unique address similar to the address of your  
house. An IP address is composed of four octets (numbers in the range of 0 to 255)  
separated by decimal points. The IP address is used to uniquely identify a host or  
computer on the LAN. For example, a computer with the hostname Workstation could  
have an IP address of 192.168.1.127.  
You should avoid giving two or more computers the same IP address by using the range  
of IP addresses that are reserved for private, local area networks; this range of IP  
addresses usually begins with the octets 192.168. The first three octets of an IP address  
should be the same for all computers in the local area network. For example, if a total of  
253 computers exist in a single LAN, the IP addresses could be assigned starting with  
192.168.1.x, where x represents a number in the range of 2 to 254.  
10.2 Subnet Masks  
Each host in a LAN has a subnet mask. The subnet mask is an octet that uses the number  
255 to represent the network address portion of the IP address and a zero to identify the host  
portion of the address. For example, the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is used by each host to  
determine which LAN or class it belongs to. The zero at the end of the subnet mask  
represents a unique host within that network. Basically the subnet mask represents the city  
you live in for your home address, but in this case you are stating the network you belong  
too.  
86  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
10.3 Gateway Address  
Each host in a LAN has a gateway. A gateway address is composed of four octets  
(numbers in the range of 0 to 255) separated by decimal points. The gateway address is  
used to uniquely identify a host or computer on the LAN which assigns the IP addresses  
to your network. For example, a Linksys router has an IP address of 192.168.1.1. If you  
were using this type of router within your LAN, then your gateway would be the IP  
address of the Linksys router. The reason this would be your gateway is because the  
Linksys is assigning the IP addresses for your network therefore the Linksys would be  
the gateway to your network. This is similar to the zip code of your address.  
10.4 Virtual Ports  
A port number represents an endpoint or "channel" for network communications. Port  
numbers allow different applications on the same computer to utilize network resources  
without interfering with each other. Port numbers most commonly appear in network  
programming, particularly socket programming. Sometimes, though, port numbers are  
made visible to the casual user. For example, some Web sites a person visits on the  
Internet use a URL like the following:  
http://www.company.com:8100/  
In this example, the number 8100 refers to the port number used by the Web browser to  
connect to the Web server. Normally, a Web site uses port number 80 and this number  
need not be included with the URL (although it can be). In IP networking, port numbers  
can theoretically range from 0 to 65535. Most popular network applications, though, use  
port numbers at the low end of the range (such as 80 for HTTP). This could be similar to  
the front door of your house. Without the door to the house being open you could not  
enter it. This is the same case with ports on a network. If the ports for a specific IP  
address are not open then you could not gain access to that IP address or what it is  
addressing.  
Note: The term port also refers to several other aspects of network technology. A  
port can refer to a physical connection point for peripheral devices such as serial,  
parallel, and USB ports. The term port also refers to certain Ethernet connection  
points, such as those on a hub, switch, or router.

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).  
Note: It is suggested to have a minimum upload speed of 256KBps. This  
can be addressed by the Internet Service Provider.  
Who is your Internet provider?  
______________  
Please confirm that your internet service provider that our upload  
speed is at least 256KBps.  
What type of modem/router do you have?  
Modem/router model name/ #  
______________  
The modem/router was either installed by your Internet service provider or purchased by  
you to establish a connection to the Internet. A router is installed to allow multiple  
computers to access the Internet through the same external IP address. It in turn assigns  
different internal IP addresses to local computers for this specific purpose.  
Do you have a static IP address?  
______________  
A Static IP address means you use the same IP address every time you log on to the  
Internet. With a static IP address, other Internet users always know the identity of your  
computer and can easily connect with it. That way, you can host a website, email server,  
or other type of server connection. It is suggested to use 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. This will be explained in more detail later on in the chapter.  
Do you have a dynamic IP address?  
______________  
A Dynamic IP address means your IP address changes each time you make a  
connection to the Internet. We recommend asking your Internet service provider for a  
Static IP address. If this is not a possibility, you may purchase a router (we suggest a  
Linksys or D-link router) which supports DDNS. DDNS is a Dynamic Domain Name  
Server, a service that provides a central (public) database where DNS information can  
be stored and retrieved. It allows those using a dynamic IP address to be registered  
centrally so users can connect to it by name.

What type of DVR are you installing?  
______________  
Everfocus EDR series: EDR410, 810, 920, 1620 or 1640  
Everfocus EDVR series: EDVR4F1, /EDVR4D1, EDVR9F1, EDVR9D1, EDVR16F1,  
EDVR16D1, EDVR16F2, EDVR16D2 or EDVR16D3.  
10.6 What Type of Network Connection do you have?  
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.  
2. Direct High Speed Modem Connection: A direct high speed modem connection is  
a network connection from the modem directly to a computer or in this case the  
DVR.  
3. Router or LAN Connection – A local area network connection either requires a  
router or a pre-existing LAN connection. Typically this type of connection is the  
most commonly used application. A router allows multiple computers and DVR’s  
to access each other as well as the Internet. It assigns different internal IP  
addresses to the computers.

Connection Procedure:  
1. The First step is to purchase or make a straight through cable. We recommend  
purchasing one if you have never made a straight through cable. Please remember  
you can not use a cross over network cable for this application  
2. Once you have a straight through cable plug one end into the LAN port on the back of  
the recorder and the other into the router.  
3. Now Log into the DVR menu and using the jog dial from the previous chapter go to  
the Network Setting Menu.  
4. If you have a Linksys Router:  
Assign an IP address of 192.168.001.050 to the DVR, a Subnet mask of  
255.255.255.000, and a default gateway of 192.168.001.001.  
If you have a D-Link Router:  
Assign an IP address of 192.168.000.050 to the DVR, a Subnet mask of  
255.255.255.000, and a default gateway of 192.168.000.001.  
If you have a pre-existing LAN:  
Go to a Computer on the pre-existing network and do the following:  
o Go to Start, then Run and type cmd and click on OK.  
Then hit enter, type ipconfig and press enter this will give you the information  
you will need.  
99  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Use the prior step to assign an IP address. For example, if you got the IP  
address from the computer of 192.168.002.101. Assign the DVR’s IP address  
as 192.168.002.050. Now Copy the subnet mask and default gateway  
information you got from the prior step off the computer to the DVR.  
Note: Make sure the modem is in bridge mode. If your Internet Service  
Provider is BellSouth you will have a modem/router. BellSouth provides a  
Westell modem that includes a built-in router. You will need to disable the  
router functionality.  
5. The next step is to open ports within your router. Open virtual ports in the router (Log  
into the router using a PC)  
o EDVR Ports to open: 80, 1600, 37260, 37261, 37262, 37263  
Note: If your Internet service provider blocks port 80 you may use a  
different port to access the DVR through the DVR’s Network Menu Setup.  
Note: If you wish to have multiple users log into the DVR please open a range  
for the control and data ports on your router. For example if you would only  
like 4 clients to connect to the DVR open 1600 and 37260 ~ 37263.

Troubleshooting  
If you have difficulty operating your system, run through the following checklist to see if  
you can solve the problem.  
The DVR will not go into record mode?  
Make sure the HDD is locked in with the keys. Also check to make sure the hard  
drives are set to C.S. (Cable Select). A diagram located on the Hard Drive Label  
will show you how to set the drive to C.S.  
The DVR displays no picture?  
First question you should ask yourself is the equipment wired properly. Please  
see your installation manual for help.  
The second question to ask yourself, do all the wires used work properly.  
The next step is to verify the recorder is getting the correct amount of power.  
There is no display coming from one of the channels on the DVR?  
The first step is to verify is the problem coming from the recorder or the  
camera.  
Simply take a working camera and plug it into the port that seems to not be  
working. If you see a picture this means the problem is coming from the  
camera.  
I cannot connect to the recorder via the internet?  
1. The first thing to check is does your internet provider block any ports.  
2. Are you using the IP address from the Internet Service provider?  
3. If you are using a router are the ports in your router opened?  
(NOTE: Please be sure that HTTP port, Control port, Data port are open.  
Please refer to “Network Setup Menu” section for port settings. For example,  
HTTP port: 00080, Control port: 01600, Data port: 37260, the last digit +1  
which is 37261, +2 which is 37262 and +3 which is 37263.)  
4. If you are using Windows XP please update the Java Virtual Machine. This  
can be done by going to http://java.sun.com and downloading the file called

JavaVM.  
If you have a Dynamic IP address from your Internet Service Provider.  
Dynamic IP addresses can cause conflicts when trying to connect to DVR(s)  
on a high speed internet connection. With new router technology (DDNS), it  
allows you to overcome this problem. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and  
domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when you are  
hosting your own DVR, website, FTP server, or other server behind the Router.  
Before using this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service at  
www.dyndns.org or www.tzo.com. (Preferred routers: Linksys BEFSR41 V3 or  
DLINK DI624 or any router that offers DDNS.
