1. Introduction

Chapter

1

EverFocus brings you the next generation of analog recording. The new ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2 digital
video recorder benefits users by digitizing the highest quality, state of the art 960H cameras for
live and remote monitoring, surveillance review, and archival. The ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2 also
supports (120 / 240 FPS total) recording over 4 / 8-channels @ WD1 (960x480 / 960x576)
resolution, providing the ability to capture objects at enhanced detail levels.

The ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2 DVR also supports convenient video export operations to USB. Its dual
stream H.264 encoder provides users smooth remote viewing experience in low bandwidth
networks while simultaneously preserving a high quality recording in the DVR hard disk. The
ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2 can provide clear 1080p Full HD Video output to both HDMI and VGA monitors
with an intuitive onscreen user interface for efficient operation. User can also easily operate the
machine using a USB mouse or via the front panel buttons.

When paired with our powerful EverFocus PowerVideo Plus CMS, the ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2 can be
used in complex multi-site installations, with centralized management. The ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2 is
also fully supported by the EverFocus MobileFocus remote viewer on iOS and Android devices,
which help extend video surveillance from fix location to mobile environments.

960H is the highest resolution for analog CCTV, increasing resolution by 30% compared to D1.
With the better resolution benefited by 960H, the definition of video image will certainly be higher.
Moreover, the 960H CCD sensor performs greater image clarity in low-light environment than IP
and HD-SDI CMOS sensors. A 960H DVR, like our new ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2 DVR, can support
cameras with resolution up to700TVL and you can use the existing coaxial infrastructure without
the need of re-cabling.

2.5 Connecting the DVR to the Network

There are three methods to connect the DVR to the network: Router or LAN Connection, Direct
High‐Speed Connection and One‐to‐One Connection. For more information of the network,

please refer to Appendix A. Network Overview.

2.5.1 Router or LAN Connection

This is the most common connection in which the DVR is connected to a router and allows
multiple users on and off site to see the DVR on a LAN/WAN (Internet). The DVR must be
assigned an IP address that is compatible with its LAN. By setting up port forwarding on the
router, you can remotely access the cameras from outside of the LAN via the Internet. To
remotely access the Web interface, please refer to 7. Remote Access to the DVR. To set up
port forwarding, please consult the manual of the router or refer to Appendix B: Linksys &
D-Link Port Forwarding.

Figure 2-16

ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2

Connection Procedure:

 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.

 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.

 Log into the EverFocus DVR menu and go to the Network Setting Menu.
 To let the router automatically assign an address:

 Set the Network Type to DHCP. Make sure to write down the IP address and the

Gateway.

 Exit from the Menu to save settings.

To manually assign an address:

 Go to a computer connected on the same network as the DVR.
 Click on the Start button and choose Run.

If using Windows Vista, choose Search instead.

 Type “command” and click on OK.

In Vista, you will need to double-click on the “Command Prompt” file to open it.

 In the DOS prompt, type “ipconfig” and press Enter.
 The network information will be displayed on a screen similar to the one below.

In Windows Vista, look for the information that says “IP v4”.

6.7 Network Settings

The DVR allows you to use a Web browser to remotely view and manage the system. You can
also receive live video streaming from the DVR using your smartphone.

Note: Since every Network Configuration is different, please check with your Network
Administrator or ISP to see if your DVR should use specific IP addresses and/or port numbers.

6.7.1 LAN

According to your network environment, select Static IP, DHCP or PPPoE to configure an IP
address to the DVR.

Figure 6-22

Network Type: Three options are selectable: Static IP, DHCP and PPPoE.

Static IP: User can set a fixed IP for network connection.

DHCP: DHCP server in LAN will automatically assign an IP configuration for the network
connection.

PPPoE: For direct connection to the DSL only. Verify with your ISP if they use PPPoE.

IP address: Displays the DVR’s current IP Address. A static IP address must be set manually. If
DHCP is selected, this value will be assigned automatically.

Subnet Mask: Displays the subnet mask for your network so the DVR will be recognized
within the network. If DHCP is selected, this value will be assigned automatically.

ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2

81

Gateway: Displays the gateway on your network for the DVR to use when communicating
with any devices not on the local network. If DHCP is selected, this value will be assigned
automatically.

DNS Server 1: Displays the primary DNS server for your network. If DHCP is selected and an
internet connection is available, this value should be assigned automatically. This field must
have a valid DNS address in order to use the DDNS feature (see 6.7.3 DDNS).

DNS Server 2: This field shows the secondary DNS server for your network.

HTTP Port: Port number for HTTP/WEB communication.

Bandwidth Limit (Kbps): Specify, disabled / 128 K/ 256 K / 512 K / 768K / 1M / 3M bps. This is

the maximum bandwidth that the DVR is allowed to use on the network. This is a useful
function when connecting the DVR to busy or heavily loaded networks, or when accessing the
DVR(s) over a WAN.

Additional information:

1. Set up the DVR Network Menu according to the instructions detailed in the Networking

chapter of this DVR’s manual.

a. If using DHCP, all settings will be detected automatically. While DHCP is a useful tool

for determining the network settings, if you set up your DVR in this manner its IP
address may change at different times for different reasons, particularly after a power
failure. If the IP address of the DVR changes, you may have difficulties accessing your
DVR locally and/or remotely. It is strongly recommended that you assign a fixed (static)
IP address to your DVR, and that in order to avoid address conflicts the IP address
assigned be outside of the DHCP range of addresses your router issues to DHCP clients.
Please do not set the DHCP address issued to the DVR by the router as its static IP
address unless you take specific steps that program your router to prevent such
address conflicts.

b. If using a Fixed IP (recommended), you will need to input the information manually. In

order for DDNS to work, you must enter valid data, compatible with your network, for
all four of the network setting fields: IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and the
DNS Address (depending on your network hardware and IP configuration this may be
the IP address of your router/gateway, or it may be the actual IP address of the local
DNS server). The DNS server IP is required because your DNS server provides critical
information necessary for the DVR to communicate with the DDNS server.

You can obtain the actual DNS IP from your Internet Service Provider (ISP); or, from a PC
located on the same LAN as the DVR, go to http://www.dnsserverlist.org/ to obtain a list of
the IP addresses of their recommendation of the best servers to use for your location.

2. If you are connecting through a router, make sure that you have ‘opened up’ all the

required network ports in the port forwarding section of your router’s setup options. That
is, you have directed the router to send any incoming traffic using those IP ports to the

ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2

82

LAN IP address of the DVR. Useful information about router port forwarding can be found
at www.portforward.com . Different routers may use different terms for port forwarding
function. For instance, D-Link calls it virtual server, Netopia calls it pinholes.

The default port for the DVR is: 80

Note: Port 80 is the default port used for Web browsing. Because of this, in order to
prevent the average user from hosting a Web server, most ISPs BLOCK traffic using port 80
from reaching the average site. If you only plan to view your DVR on a LAN, you can use
port 80, and don’t have to concern yourself with DDNS or routers. However, if you desire
remote access to your DVR, perhaps using DDNS (optional), you MUST select functional
ports and set up the port forwarding in your router. Other ports, such as 8080 and 8000
are sometimes blocked by ISPs as well.

What port(s) should be used? There are 65,535 valid IP ports to choose from. These are
broken down into three groups:

• Well Known Ports 0 thru 1023

• Registered Ports 1024 thru 49151

• Dynamic and/or Private Ports 49152 thru 65535

So, rather than encounter a port conflict by choosing a port commonly used for another
purpose (like port 25 for SMTP mail or port 448 for secure sockets), choose an ‘unusual’
port number. For example, add 50,000 to your house number: 50,123 is less likely to lead
to a port conflict. For a list of the known and registered ports, see
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

6.7.3 DDNS

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is a service used to map a domain name to the
dynamic IP address of a network device. You can set up the DDNS service for remote access to
the DVR.

Figure 6-24

DDNS assigns a domain name (URL) to the DVR, so that the user does not need to go through
the trouble of checking if the IP address assigned by DHCP Server has changed. Once the IP is
changed, the DVR will automatically update the information to the DDNS to ensure it is
always available for remote access.

Before enabling the following DDNS function, user should have applied for a host name from
the DDS service provider’s website. We support four DDNS server providers:

www.everfocusddns.com and www.dyndns.com.

Note: We highly recommend that you use xxxx.everfocusddns.com for the simplicity of

setting up your DVR.
