Currently, some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) may be blocking certain internet ports,
disabling remote access to your EDSR unit over the internet. Due to certain security risks,
your ISP may refuse to unblock these specific ports.
EverFocus now offers a firmware update specifically for the EDSR line of digital recorders which
directly addresses this issue: firmware version 1.09 allows you to change the default HTTP and Data
ports used by the DVR. This will provide a work around if your ISP refuses to unblock the ports on your
internet connection. This feature is found in the NETWORK SETTINGS menu of your EDSR unit. This
work-around allows you to customize your unit to connect using other various unblocked ports.
NOTE: For this work around, you will need to update to the latest firmware version,
which can be found at:
http://www.everfocus.com/servicebulletins.htm
HOW TO CHANGE PORTS ON AN EDSR 400-1600F:
1.) Access the Main Menu, by pressing [menu] on the front panel
2.) Use the JOG wheel to select NETWORK and press [ENTER]
3.) In the NETWORK SETTING MENU press [ENTER] until the Port Settings are reached.
4.) Use the JOG WHEEL to change the Ports as needed. (Only the CTRL port cannot be
changed)
5.) Once the Ports are changed, press [MENU] twice to exit the menus and reboot the system.
Note: Once the Ports have been changed,
these will be the ports that will need to be
Forwarded if a NAT router (Linksys,
Netgear, Dlink, etc.) is in use.
Due to all internet Browsers
(Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator,
etc.) defaulting to use port 80 as the HTTP
port; if the HTTP port number is changed
from 80 to something else, the HTTP port
must be specified when connecting to the
DVR.
Example: IP address of the DVR is
146.82.96.172. ISP is blocking port 80, so
HTTP port on DVR was changed to 1080,
then the address that needs to be typed is
HTTP://146.82.96.172:1080. The :1080
entered at the end of the IP address specifies
the port that the HTTP connection will be
made.
PTZ control for EDSR Units.
The EDSR series Digital Recorders now offer PTZ control functions when using the web interface.
You now have the same basic controls used with the VKB series keyboards over the web interface.
This allows you to control the camera pan, tilt and zoom
functions while away.
Connections:
The Data Control cables connect to the back of the EDSR using the
RS 485 Port. Depending on how your connections ar e setup and the number
of cameras you are using, you will need to connect the data cables to Pins 3
and 6 on any of the 2 RS-485 ports. Pin 3 being Positive (+) and pin 6 being
negative (-).
An Ethernet cable can be used in the RS485 port, as long as the
wires for pin 3 and 6 are used. Looking at the top of an Ethernet cable, (flat
edge) the wires that are used will be White-Green (3) and Green (6).
RJ-45 View from top– Locking clip is
on reverse side.
EDSR PTZ setup.
Once the data cables are connected, the EDSR recorder is configured to communicate with PTZ camera or cameras.
Please Note: you need to determine what Protocol and Baud Rate is used for the cameras. (Note: All cameras connecting to the
same DVR MUST be on the same Protocol and Baud Rate.)
SETTINGS:
1.) Access the Setup menu by pressing [MENU]
on the front of the unit.
2.) Use the Jog Wheel to highlight the PTZ menu.
Press[ENTER]
3.) In PTZ SETTINGS sub-menu, use [ENTER]
to navigate between the options and the JOG
WHEEL to change the settings.
4.) Set PTZ ENABLE: to ON,
5.) Set the PTZ port to RS485
6.) *Set the PROTOCOL to that of the Cameras
(Pelco-D, Pelco-P, Everfocus, or VProtect)
7.) *Set the BAUD RATE to match that of the
cameras
8.) Under PTZ ADDRESS, enter the Address for
that camera on that specific channel. (Example:
Channel 2 has a camera with Address 1, then
for CH2: the value is change to 001, so it reads
[CH2: 001].)
9.) Press [ENTER] twice to exit out of the setup menus. Restart the system.
*Note: These settings MUST match all the cameras connected on the same circuit.
VIEWING
Once you access the unit via the
web-page. The option for the PTZ
controls will be on the Right Panel.

for the second hard drive or second empty sleeve.
Please Note: If the Hard Disk Drive is not locked in with the key a system
loading screen will keep flashing and the DVR will not go into record
mode. This is because the Hard Drive is not being recognized.
