Chapter
1
The EPHD04+ is a 4-channel HDcctv DVR providing 1080p real-time recording per channel. The model features dual streams from H.264 and MJPEG. The recording frame rate and resolution can be independently configured for each channel. You can output the videos either from the HDMI or VGA port.
The EPHD04+ supports two internal 3.5” HDDs installation for extending the storage capacity. You can also connect a storage device via the eSATA interface for backing up recordings. Multiple interfaces including 2 Ethernet ports, 2 USB ports, RS-485, RS-232, 4 alarm inputs and 2 alarm outputs are provided. These features, merged into a quiet, compact chassis, make the EPHD04+ ideal for customers whose space is at a premium, but are not willing to sacrifice functionality.
You can easily configure the DVR settings through the on-screen display (OSD) menu using a mouse, IR remote control or the control keys on the front panel; or through the Web interface by connecting the DVR to the network.

EverFocus HDcctv technology is mostly based on the SMPTE-292M standard, which defines HDSDI (High Definition – Serial Digital Interface) video transmission. The HDcctv technology requires higher frequency than traditional CCTV technology. The table below listed the supported coaxial cable types for EverFocus’ HDcctv DVR.
Coaxial Cable Requirement
Attenuation at 1 GHz: < 32 dB per 100 m (328 ft)
Return Loss attenuation: > 20 dB
Impedance: 75 Ω

The standard RG-59 cables are originally designed for lower frequencies. However, with EverFocus’ HDcctv technology, you can still use the standard RG-59 cable for distances over 100 m / 330 ft. The RG-59 cables with high quality and low loss allow distances up to 160 m / 520 ft. The RG-6 or RG-11 cables are the best use for longer distance connection.

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.
This is the most common connection in which the IP camera is connected to a router and allows multiple users on and off site to see the IP camera on a LAN/WAN (Internet). The camera 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 6. 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.

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”.

Take the values for Subnet Mask and Default Gateway and input them into the DVR; these values should be exactly the same in both devices. However, you should change the last number of the IP address. For example, if the IP address of the computer is 192.168.2.101, the DVR’s IP address should be 192.168.2.50.
To access the DVR from a computer simply open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type:
http:// (IP address of the DVR)
Note: The DVR’s IP address will only work at the location of the DVR. To connect from a different location over the Internet, see below.
To set the DVR for Internet Connection through router:
The next step is to open ports within your router. Log into the router using a PC and open the following ports.
Ports to open: 80
If your Internet service provider blocks port 80, you can change it to a different port in the DVR’s Network Menu Setup; open/forward that port instead.
If you are using a Linksys or D-Link router, see Chapter 8 for basic support on setting up ports. For any other router, you will need to contact the manufacturer for support.
To access the DVR from a computer simply open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type:
http:// (the IP address given by your internet service provider)
Note: If you changed to a different port other than 80, you will need to include this at the end of the IP address:
http:// (the IP address given by your internet service provider):port number
If you have a WAN Dynamic IP address and have opened the ports, go to 6.6.3 DDNS Setup to configure the DDNS settings.

2.6.2Direct High-Speed Connection
In a Direct High Speed Connection, the camera connects directly to a modem without the need for a router. You need to set the static or dynamic WAN IP address assigned by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) in the camera’s configuration web pages. To access the camera, just type “http://xxx”, where xxx is the IP address given by your ISP. If you have a dynamic IP address, this connection may require that you use DDNS for a reliable connection.
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 high speed modem.
Log into the EverFocus DVR menu and go to the Network Setting Menu.
Input the Static IP address, the Subnet Mask, and the Gateway that you obtained from the internet service provider.
Note: If you have a dynamic IP address, you can set the DVR to DHCP to automatically detect the network settings. Therefore, it can use a dynamic IP address.
Exit from the DVR’s Menu to save the settings.
To access the DVR from a computer, open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type: http:// (IP address given by your internet service provider)
Note: When using this type of connection, only one device can be connected to the modem at a time. You will need to use a computer at a different location to test the connection s.

2.6.3One-to-One Connection
You can connect directly without using a switch, router or modem. However, only the PC connected to the camera will be able to view the IP camera. You will also have to manually assign a compatible IP address to both the computer and the IP camera. Unless the PC has another network connection, the IP camera will be the only network device visible to the PC. See the diagram below:
Right: Pinout of a crossed-over cable.
Connection Procedure:
The First step is to purchase or make a cross-over cable. We recommend purchasing one if you have never made a cross-over cable. Please remember you can not use a straight through network cable for this application.
Once you have a cross-over cable, plug one end into the LAN port on the back of the DVR and the other into the network card on the back of the computer.
Log into the EverFocus DVR menu and go to the Network Setting Menu.
You must use the Static IP option for this type of connection.
Assign an IP of 192.168.001.003, a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.000, and a Gateway of 192.168.001.001. You can ignore DNS Server.
The next step is to set the computer’s network settings to match those of the DVR. You will need Administrator privileges on your Windows machine to do this.
To assign a fixed IP address in Windows 2000/XP, follow the instructions below:
