ECOR FHD 4F / 8F / 16F Full HD DVR
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.
