¾ Once you have a cross-over cable plug one end into the LAN port on the back of the DVR and the
other into the network card on the back of the computer.
¾ Log into the EverFocus DVR menu and go to the Network Setting Menu.
¾ You must use the Static IP option for this type of connection.
¾ Assign an IP of 192.168.001.003, a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.000, and a Gateway of
