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.
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.
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] 4.) 5.) 6.) 7.
