NVR8004X 2.5 Connecting the NVR to the Network There are three methods to connect the NVR 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. 2.5.1 Router or LAN Connection This is the most common connection in which the NVR is connected to a router and allows multiple users on and off site to see the NVR on a LAN/WAN (Internet).
NVR8004X 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 NVR menu and go to the Network Setting Menu.
NVR8004X Take the values for Subnet Mask and Default Gateway and input them into the NVR; 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 NVR’s IP address should be 192.168.2.50.
NVR8004X 2.5.2 Direct High-Speed Connection In a Direct High‐Speed Connection, the NVR 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 NVR’s configuration web pages. To access the NVR, just type “http://xxx”, where 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.
NVR8004X 2.5.3 One-to-One Connection You can connect directly without using a switch, router or modem. However, only the PC connected to the NVR will be able to view the NVR. You will also have to manually assign a compatible IP address to both the computer and the NVR. Unless the PC has another network connection, the NVR will be the only network device visible to the PC. See the diagram below: Right: Pinout of a crossed-over cable.

NVR8004X Appendix A Appendix A: Network Overview This chapter will give you a basic instruction on how to set up the NVR 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. Introduction to TCP / IP TCP/IP is the group of protocols used by the Internet and most Local Area Networks (LANs) throughout the world.
NVR8004X Gateway Address Addressees are either local or remote. A gateway address is composed of four octets separated by decimal points. The gateway address is used to uniquely identify the device on the LAN that has access to the communications links connecting to other LANs, WANs and/or the Internet (access to the ‘remote’ addresses). Virtual Ports A port number represents a "channel" or entryway for network communications.
NVR8004X Pre-Installation Before beginning the installation, please answer the following questions: Do you have Hi-speed Internet? ______________ There are many types of high speed Internet available.
