Possible Installation Locations Inside the Automobile Vehicle Glove box (inside or underneath) Trunk (Users are suggested to use “suspend” for mounting option) Passenger seat (underneath) Drive seat (between seat and wall) Show the wiring on the wiring harness that connects to the electrical system.
Installing the Camera(s) and Monitor The DVR is typically connected to one camera installed inside the car. Other camera(s) can also be installed in different locations (for example, use the waterproof camera to the outside of vehicle). For installation procedure, please refer to the guide that came with the camera(s) you purchased. The Monitor power supply connects from the Automotive adapter (cigarette plug) Monitor and cameras must be purchased separately.
1.8 VIDEO INPUTS/OUTPUTS INSTALLATION Cameras and CCTV monitors must use copper center conductor/copper braid 75 Ohm video cable (e.g. RG-59, RG-6, RG-11) with BNC connectors. To avoid impedance mismatch and undesired loss/reflections, 50 Ohm coax cable (e.g. RG-58), or 75 ohm foil shield antenna cable and other types of coaxial cable are not compatible. All connected video sources must provide a 1 Vpp NTSC or PAL standard video signal.
1.10.1 Alarm Input Contacts This DVR provides one alarm input per camera. All inputs are programmable N.O. (Normal Open) or N.C. (Normal Closed) Inputs have to be switched by dry contacts. All settings are programmed in the ALARM menu (Section 0). Alarm input with N.O. (Normal Open) contact in idle state Alarm input with N.C. (Normal Closed) contact in idle state 1.10.2 Alarm Output Relay The relay output provides either Normally Open or Normally Closed dry contacts. Output relay in idle state 1.
1.12 NETWORK CONNECTION This section only describes physical connection to an Ethernet network. This step must be completed before the DVR can connect to the network. There are two basic types of connection: 1.12.1 Direct PC Connection through Crossover Network Cable The point-to-point connection of DVR and PC requires a crossover (crossed) network cable. This type of connection is ONLY used for direct connection to a single PC.
1.12.2 Network Connection through Patch Cable The connection to an existing network requires a normal patch cable (straight-through). The illustration shows the connection to a network switch or router. Figure 1-4 Network Connection through Patch Cable Pinout of straight patch cable 1.13 FINAL INSTALL PROCESS Once you have completed the basic wiring connections, you are ready to turn on the DVR. Simply plug in the power source. The POWER LED will light up if power is normal.

Chapter 5 5 Networking Overview This chapter will give you a basic instruction on how to set up the DVR for network connection. It is highly recommended that you have a working knowledge of what a network is and how it works. This will be helpful in completing the networking process. 5.1 Introduction to TCP/IP TCP/IP is the group of protocols used by the Internet and most Local Area Networks (LANs) throughout the world.
5.4 Virtual Ports A port number represents a "channel" or entryway for network communications. Port numbers allow different computers to utilize network resources without interfering with each other. Port numbers most commonly appear in network programming, particularly socket programming. Sometimes, though, port numbers are made visible to the casual user. For example, some websites on the Internet use a URL like the following: http://www.sitename.
Do you have a static IP address? ______________ A Static IP address means you use the same IP address every time you connect to the Internet. With a static IP address, other Internet users always know the address of your location and can easily connect with it. This makes it much simpler to host a website, email server, or other type of server connection. Everfocus suggests using a static IP address. If this is not available, you will need to use a dynamic IP address. This is explained below.
5.7 Simple One to One Connection Crossover Ethernet Cable Pin outs: The Figure below shows the pin configurations for a cross-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.
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.
Click on the option that says “Use the following IP address” Assign an IP address of 192.168.1.2, a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, and a Default Gateway of 192.168.1.1, then click OK. Restart both the computer and the DVR. To access the DVR from the computer, simply open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type: http://192.168.1.
5.8 Direct High Speed Modem Connection Straight Through Ethernet Cable Pin outs: The Figure below shows the pin configurations for a straight 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.
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.
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.
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.
