eZ.Controller: Easily control eZ.HD camera’s OSD at the DVR end.
Traditionally, the CCTV installer needs to take a portable monitor to connect to the camera for controlling the camera OSD at the camera installation site as the Diagram A below. It will take extra effort, time and people to adjust the camera. Now, EverFocus’ eZ.Controller allows users to control the camera OSD simply on the monitor at the DVR end as illustrated in Diagram B.

2.6 Connecting the Mobile DVR to the Network
There are three methods to connect the mobile 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.

2.6.1 Router or LAN Connection

This is the most common connection in which the MDVR is connected to a router and allows multiple users on and off site to see the MDVR 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 7. Remote Access to the Mobile DVR. To set up port forwarding, please consult the manual of the router or refer to Appendix B: Linksys
& D-Link Port Forwarding.

Cat 5 Straight Through Cable

High-speed modem Straight-through LAN patch cable

Router

Left: Pinout of a straight-through cable.

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 mobile 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.
28

EMV400S FHD / EMV400SSD Mobile DVR To manually assign an address: Go to a computer connected on the same network as the mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile DVR’s IP address should be 192.168.002.050.
To access the mobile DVR from a computer simply open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type: http:// (IP address of the mobile DVR) Note: The mobile DVR’s IP address will only work at the location of the mobile DVR. To connect from a different location over the Internet, see below.
29

EMV400S FHD / EMV400SSD Mobile DVR To set the mobile 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 mobile DVR’s Network Menu Setup; open/forward that port instead. If you are using a Linksys or D-Link router, see Appendix A for basic support on
setting up ports. For any other router, you will need to contact the manufacturer for support. To access the mobile 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):portnumber If you have a WAN Dynamic IP address and have opened the ports, go to Chapter 7 to setup DDNS.
30

EMV400S FHD / EMV400SSD Mobile DVR
2.6.2 Direct 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.xxx.xxx.xxx”, where xxx.xxx.xxx.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.
Internet
High-speed modem Cat 5 Straight Through Cable
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 mobile 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 mobile DVR to DHCP to automatically detect the network settings. Therefore, it can use a dynamic IP address.
Exit from the mobile DVR’s Menu to save the settings. To access the mobile 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.
31

EMV400S FHD / EMV400SSD Mobile DVR
2.6.3 One-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 MDVR. You will also have to manually assign a compatible IP address to both the computer and the MDVR. Unless the PC has another network connection, the MDVR will be the only network device visible to the PC. See the diagram below:
Cat 5
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 mobile DVR and the other into the network card on the back of the computer. Log into the EverFocus mobile 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 mobile 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:

Time Sync Enable: Check to enable the time synchronization with the connected radiocontrolled clock.
Time Sync Interval: Select a time sync interval time (by hour) for the MDVR to synchronize the time with the radio-controlled clock.
Time Sync Range: The time sync range means the allowed time difference between the MDVR and the radio clock. If the time difference exceeds the entered time sync range (by second), the MDVR cannot be synchronized unless you manually set up the exact same time as the clock or within the time sync range.
For example, if the radio-controlled clock time is 12:00:00 and you enter 30 seconds for the time sync range, the allowed time difference between the MDVR and the clock should be within 30 seconds which means the MDVR time can be 11:59:30 ~ 12:00:30.

If you want to back up the recordings, you can use EverFocus EF-Reader to remotely/locally back up the recordings from the SD card (see Appendix H Recording Backup through EF-Reader). The Mobile DVR will automatically detect when a new SD card has been inserted and the below SD card format message will pop-up. Click Yes to format the SD card. The formatting process will take about 30 ~ 60 seconds. Note that only the formatted SD card can be used for event recording function.
