Chapter
1. Introduction
EverFocus ECOR FHD 4F / 8F / 16F is our new eZ.HD series full HD DVR, which adopts the latest
Analog HD technology, permitting it to deliver excellent high quality images of up to 1080p full HD
resolution that is far superior to traditional analog CCTV. The eZ.HD series is easy to install and can
integrate with the existing CCTV systems without re-cabling, so this new eZ.HD video surveillance
system will definitely be your best cost-effective solution.
The ECOR FHD 4F / 8F / 16F DVR supports 4 / 8 / 16-channel analog video inputs with resolution
ranging from D1, 960H, 720p to 1080p full HD and also features triple streams for live view,
playback and recording. In addition, this new series full HD DVR supports both standard coaxial
and UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable, allowing for long-distance transmission of full HD images
with zero video latency.
This model is designed with a high-performance hardware which has multiple video outputs for
local monitoring, audio in/out, alarm in/out, RS-485 serial interface, 2 USB interfaces and 1 RJ45
(10/100) Base-T Ethernet interface. Other than that, the ECOR FHD 4F and 8F / 16F and can be
expanded up to 1 and 2 SATA devices respectively, ensuring large capacity of the eZ.HD video
recordings.
EverFocus also provides mobile apps for users to view the eZ.HD camera streams via their mobile
devices (iOS or Android platforms) and also supports web UI for users to remotely access to the
surveillance system. Moreover, it is integrated with our powerful CMS platform, Genie XMS, so it
can be applied in more surveillance scenarios and easily scaled up in the future.
EverFocus also has an innovative function, eZ Hopper, for our new series of DVRs / NVRs, allowing
users to control up to 16 connected DVRs / NVRs with just one single mouse. This breakthrough
feature brings great benefits to the traditional small and medium-sized surveillance system, not
only eliminating the expense of the central monitoring software, but also saving the setup cost
and time.

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.
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:
