Introduction
EverFocus ENVR8304X series comes with three models, ENVR8304X 04CH, ENVR8304X 08CH and
ENVR8304X 16CH with 4 / 8 / 16 channels, targeting small to medium scale installations such as
homes and small businesses.
This Linux-embedded standalone NVR series features 4 / 8 / 16-channel real-time local recording
and playback at 1080p resolution, supporting megapixel IP camera and H.264 compression format.
The maximum recording throughputs of ENVR8304X 04CH and ENVR8304X 08CH / 16CH can reach
up to 80Mbps and 100Mbps respectively which are outstandingly high comparing to other
vendors’.
Even though ENVR8304X 04CH is designed with a compact-sized and VESA-mountable hardware, it
is able to be installed with one 2.5” hard disk drive for recording/storage. NVR8304X 08CH / 16CH
are rack mount NVRs which support four 3.5” hard disk drives with up to 16TB storage capacity
and also provides one eSATA port for external storage device.
When paired with our powerful EverFocus Genie XMS (CMS), the ENVR8304X 04CH / 08CH / 16CH
can be used in complex multi-site installations with centralized management. The ENVR8304X
series supports remote access from web browsers or by the EverFocus MobileFocus remote
viewer on iOS and Android devices, which help extend video surveillance from fixed locations to
mobile environments.
EverFocus also has an innovative function, eZ Hopper, for our new series of DVRs / NVRs, allowing
users to control up to 16 connected DVRs / NVRs with just one single mouse. This breakthrough
feature brings great benefits to the traditional small and medium-sized surveillance system, not
only eliminating the expense of the central monitoring software, but also saving the setup cost
and time.

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). The NVR 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 NVR. To set up
port forwarding, please consult the manual of the router or refer to Appendix B: Linksys &
D-Link Port Forwarding.
Straight-through LAN patch cable
Right: Pinout of a straight-through cable.
23
ENVR8304X 04CH/08CH/16CH NVR
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.

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.
To manually assign an address:

Go to a computer connected on the same network as the NVR.

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”.
24
ENVR8304X 04CH/08CH/16CH NVR


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.
To access the NVR from a computer simply open Internet Explorer and in the address
bar type:
http:// (IP address of the NVR)
Note: The NVR’s IP address will only work at the location of the NVR. To connect
from a different location over the Internet, see below.
To set the NVR 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 NVR’s Network Menu Setup; open/forward that port instead.
If you are using a Linksys or D-Link router, see Appendix B for basic support on
setting up ports. For any other router, you will need to contact the manufacturer
for support.
To access the NVR 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):port number

If you have a WAN Dynamic IP address and have opened the ports, go to 6.7.3 DDNS
Setup to configure the DDNS settings.
25
ENVR8304X 04CH/08CH/16CH NVR
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.
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 NVR 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 NVR to DHCP to automatically
detect the network settings. Therefore, it can use a dynamic IP address.

Exit from the NVR’s Menu to save the settings.

To access the NVR 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.
26
ENVR8304X 04CH/08CH/16CH NVR
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.
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
NVR and the other into the network card on the back of the computer.

Zoom control on tracking:
Keep current zoom ratio: the current zoom ratio will stay fixed during the tracking process.
Multi-step zoom function: the zoom ratio will change according to the distance of the
object against the camera. When the object is moving further away, the camera will keep
zooming in to track; on the other hand, when moving closer, the camera will zoom out to
check whether it should track the object or not.
Tracking Duration: User can set the tracking time duration of the camera (0~600 seconds).
When the Tracking Duration is up, the camera will return to the Start Point. The function is
used to prevent the camera from tracking an object which is intentionally set to lure the
camera away.
When the object is lost on the screen: User can select a tracking mode when the object is
lost on the screen. The options are:
Keep tracking: The camera will stop at the current position and wait for another moving
object in the camera's field of view. Then, the camera will track the new object without
changing zoom ratio.
Zoom out and look for a new object: The camera will zoom out at the current position
immediately for expanded the field of view and restart tracking a new moving object
appearing in the camera's field of view.
Stop tracking and zoom out: The camera will stop auto tracking and stay at the current
position. Then, the camera will zoom out for expanded the field of view.
In sec and Back to Start Point: Set up a period of time for the camera to stay at the current
position before returning to the Start Point (0 is returning to Start Point without any
waiting).
Resume from manual stop: The function is used to set up the Auto Tracking restart time
(0~600 seconds). If user manually operates the PTZ function during auto tracking process,
the auto tracking function will stop. When the manual operation ceases, the camera will
resume to “Auto Tracking Start Point” after a given period of time. Setting of value 0
indicates do not restart.
Note: In the on-going auto tracking process after object is identified, the PTZ function keeps
the moving object in the center of the screen. But the PTZ function may stop if the object
moves too slow and stays in center of the screen too long. In case like this the auto tracking
may incorrectly assume the object is lost and ends the tracking process.

6.6 Network
The NVR allows you to use a Web browser to remotely view and manage the system. You can also
receive live video streaming from the NVR using your smartphone.
Note: Since every Network Configuration is different, please check with your Network
Administrator or ISP to see if your NVR should use specific IP addresses and/or port numbers.
6.6.1 LAN & WAN
According to your network environment, select Static IP, DHCP or PPPoE to configure an IP
address to the NVR.
*Port Type: The two ports share the same functions, but only the WLAN (WAN) port supports
PPPoE. Therefore, it is recommended to use the LAN port to connect to IP cameras, and to
use the WLAN (WAN) port to connect to the network.
(*The Port Type setting option is for ENVR8304X 8CH / 16CH only.)
Network Type: Three options are selectable: Static IP, DHCP and PPPoE.
Static IP: User can set a fixed IP for network connection.
DHCP: DHCP server in LAN will automatically assign an IP configuration for the network
connection.
100
ENVR8304X 04CH/08CH/16CH NVR
PPPoE: For direct connection to the DSL only. Verify with your ISP if they use PPPoE. (The
option is only for WLAN (WAN) port)
IP address: Displays the NVR’s current IP Address. A static IP address must be set manually. If
DHCP is selected, this value will be assigned automatically.
Subnet Mask: Displays the subnet mask for your network so the NVR will be recognized
within the network. If DHCP is selected, this value will be assigned automatically.
Gateway: Displays the gateway on your network for the NVR to use when communicating
with any devices not on the local network. If DHCP is selected, this value will be assigned
automatically.
DNS Server 1: Displays the primary DNS server for your network. If DHCP is selected and an
internet connection is available, this value should be assigned automatically. This field must
have a valid DNS address in order to use the DDNS feature (see 6.6.3 DDNS).
DNS Server 2: This field shows the secondary DNS server for your network.
HTTP Port: Port number for HTTP/WEB communication.
Bandwidth Limit (Kbps): Specify, disabled / 128 K/ 256 K / 512 K / 768K / 1M / 3M bps. This is
the maximum bandwidth that the NVR is allowed to use on the network. This is a useful
function when connecting the NVR to busy or heavily loaded networks, or when accessing the
NVR(s) over a WAN.
Network ID: The network ID is an identifier for the alarm transmitter (NVR sending the
alarm).
Connect: Click to test the network connection.
Save: Click to save the settings.
Additional information:
1. Set up the NVR Network Menu according to the instructions detailed in the Networking
chapter of this NVR’s manual.
a. If using DHCP, all settings will be detected automatically. While DHCP is a useful tool
for determining the network settings, if you set up your NVR in this manner its IP
address may change at different times for different reasons, particularly after a power
failure. If the IP address of the NVR changes, you may have difficulties accessing your
NVR locally and/or remotely. It is strongly recommended that you assign a fixed (static)
IP address to your NVR, and that in order to avoid address conflicts the IP address
assigned be outside of the DHCP range of addresses your router issues to DHCP clients.
Please do not set the DHCP address issued to the NVR by the router as its static IP
address unless you take specific steps that program your router to prevent such
address conflicts.
b. If using a Fixed IP (recommended), you will need to input the information manually. In
order for DDNS to work, you must enter valid data, compatible with your network, for
all four of the network setting fields: IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and the
101
ENVR8304X 04CH/08CH/16CH NVR
DNS Address (depending on your network hardware and IP configuration this may be
the IP address of your router/gateway, or it may be the actual IP address of the local
DNS server). The DNS server IP is required because your DNS server provides critical
information necessary for the NVR to communicate with the DDNS server.
You can obtain the actual DNS IP from your Internet Service Provider (ISP); or, from a PC
located on the same LAN as the NVR, go to http://www.dnsserverlist.org/ to obtain a list of
the IP addresses of their recommendation of the best servers to use for your location.
2. If you are connecting through a router, make sure that you have ‘opened up’ all the
required network ports in the port forwarding section of your router’s setup options. That
is, you have directed the router to send any incoming traffic using those IP ports to the
LAN IP address of the NVR. Useful information about router port forwarding can be found
at www.portforward.com . Different routers may use different terms for port forwarding
function. For instance, D-Link calls it virtual server, Netopia calls it pinholes.
The default port for the NVR is: 80
Note: Port 80 is the default port used for Web browsing. Because of this, in order to
prevent the average user from hosting a Web server, most ISPs BLOCK traffic using port 80
from reaching the average site. If you only plan to view your NVR on a LAN, you can use
port 80, and don’t have to concern yourself with DDNS or routers. However, if you desire
remote access to your NVR, perhaps using DDNS (optional), you MUST select functional
ports and set up the port forwarding in your router. Other ports, such as 8080 and 8000
are sometimes blocked by ISPs as well.
What port(s) should be used? There are 65,535 valid IP ports to choose from. These are
broken down into three groups:
•
Well Known Ports 0 thru 1023
•
Registered Ports 1024 thru 49151
•
Dynamic and/or Private Ports 49152 thru 65535
So, rather than encounter a port conflict by choosing a port commonly used for another
purpose (like port 25 for SMTP mail or port 448 for secure sockets), choose an ‘unusual’
port number. For example, add 50,000 to your house number: 50,123 is less likely to lead
to a port conflict. For a list of the known and registered ports, see
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

6.6.3 DDNS
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is a service used to map a domain name to the dynamic
IP address of a network device. You can set up the DDNS service for remote access to the NVR.
DDNS assigns a domain name (URL) to the NVR, so that the user does not need to go through
the trouble of checking if the IP address assigned by DHCP Server has changed. Once the IP is
changed, the NVR will automatically update the information to the DDNS to ensure it is always
available for remote access.
Before enabling the following DDNS function, user should have applied for a host name from
the DDS service provider’s website. We support four DDNS server providers:
www.everfocusddns.com and www.dyndns.com.
Note: We highly recommend that you use xxxx.everfocusddns.com for the simplicity of
setting up your NVR.
104

ENVR8304X 04CH/08CH/16CH NVR
Note: Please note that if enabling the Pan/Tilt Limits function, the position of the Start Point
should be within the range of the Pan/Tilt Limits, or there will be a pop-up message showing
“Setting error: Start Point is not inside Pan/Tilt Limits”.

Zoom control on tracking:
Keep current zoom ratio: the current zoom ratio will stay fixed during the tracking process.
Multi-step zoom function: the zoom ratio will change according to the distance of the
object against the camera. When the object is moving further away, the camera will keep
zooming in to track; on the other hand, when moving closer, the camera will zoom out to
check whether it should track the object or not.
Tracking Duration: User can set the tracking time duration of the camera (0~600 seconds).
When the Tracking Duration is up, the camera will return to the Start Point. The function is
used to prevent the camera from tracking an object which is intentionally set to lure the
camera away.
When the object is lost on the screen: User can select a tracking mode when the object is
lost on the screen. The options are:
Keep tracking: The camera will stop at the current position and wait for another moving
object in the camera's field of view. Then, the camera will track the new object without
changing zoom ratio.
Zoom out and look for a new object: The camera will zoom out at the current position
immediately for expanded the field of view and restart tracking a new moving object
appearing in the camera's field of view.
Stop tracking and zoom out: The camera will stop auto tracking and stay at the current
position. Then, the camera will zoom out for expanded the field of view.
In sec and Back to Start Point: Set up a period of time for the camera to stay at the current
position before returning to the Start Point (0 is returning to Start Point without any
waiting).
Resume from manual stop: The function is used to set up the Auto Tracking restart time
(0~600 seconds). If user manually operates the PTZ function during auto tracking process,
the auto tracking function will stop. When the manual operation ceases, the camera will
resume to “Auto Tracking Start Point” after a given period of time. Setting of value 0
indicates do not restart.
Note: In the on-going auto tracking process after object is identified, the PTZ function keeps
the moving object in the center of the screen. But the PTZ function may stop if the object
moves too slow and stays in center of the screen too long. In case like this the auto tracking
may incorrectly assume the object is lost and ends the tracking process.

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. In TCP/IP, every computer or other communications device that is
connected to the network has a unique IP address. By doing this you are giving your device a
unique address similar to the address of your house. An IP address is composed of four octets
(numbers in the range of 0 to 255) separated by decimal points. The IP address is used to uniquely
identify a host or computer on the LAN. For example, one computer on a network could have an IP
address of 192.168.1.127.
You should never give two or more devices the same exact IP address, but the first three octets of
an IP address is often the same for all computers in the local area network. For example, if a total
of 253 computers exist in a single LAN, the IP addresses could be assigned starting with
192.168.1.x, where x represents a number in the range of 2 to 254. In IPP address could be
compared with a telephone number.
Subnet Masks
Each host in a LAN has a subnet mask. The subnet mask is a set of octets that is used to determine
which LAN or class it belongs to. The number 255 is usually used to represent the network address
portion of the IP address and a zero is placed at the end to identify the host portion of the address.
Basically the subnet mask tells the devices how the network addresses are organized, and helps to
determine which addresses are local and which are remote (on the other side of the router).
161
ENVR8304X 04CH/08CH/16CH NVR
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. 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.com:8100/
In this example, the number 8100 refers to the port number used by the browser to connect to
the web server. The standard port number used by web sites is 80, so this number does not need
to be included with the URL (although it can be). In IP networking, port numbers can theoretically
range from 0 to 65535. Most popular network applications, though, use port numbers at the lower
end of the range (such as 80 for HTTP). Ports are similar to doors and windows of your house,
with port 80 acting as the front door. If these are not open you could not enter the house. This is
the same case with ports on a network. If the ports for a specific IP address are not open then you
could not gain access to that IP address.
Note: The term port also refers to several other aspects of network technology. A port can
refer to Ethernet connection points, such as those on a hub, switch, or router. The term port is
also used to refer to a physical connection point for peripheral devices such as serial, parallel,
and USB ports.
Another analogy would be: if a WAN IP address is similar to the phone number identify a site, IP
ports are similar to telephone extensions, in that they allow communication with specific devices
within a site that all share the same external (WAN) IP address. A router is a device which allows
multiple computers and other IP enabled equipment to share that single WAN IP address. It
functions like a “switchboard operator” – opening ports creates an association between those port
numbers and the LAN IP address of specific equipment on the LAN behind the router. When the
router sees a ‘call’ for a specific ‘extension’ (port), it directs that data stream to the (LAN IP
address of the) equipment associated with that ‘extension’ (port).

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. The most common ones are T1, Cable,
and DSL (in order of speed). The NVR is not compatible with a dial-up connection.
Note: EverFocus suggests having a minimum upload speed of 256KBps. This can be addressed
by your Internet Service Provider.

What type of modem/router do you have?
_________________________
Modem/router model name/ #
The modem/router was either installed by your Internet service provider or purchased by you
to establish a connection to the Internet. A router assigns different internal IP addresses to
local computers; this allows multiple computers to access the Internet through the same
external IP address.

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.

Do you have a dynamic IP address?
______________
A Dynamic IP address means your IP address changes each time you connect to the Internet.
We recommend asking your Internet service provider for a Static IP address. If this is not a
possibility, you may use the DDNS feature of the NVR. DDNS stands for Dynamic Domain
Name Server, a service that provides a central database where IP information can be stored
and retrieved. It allows those using a dynamic IP address to be registered centrally so users
can connect to it by name. See 6.6.3 DDNS for details on using EverFocus DDNS.
163
ENVR8304X 04CH/08CH/16CH NVR
Pre-Installation
EverFocus’ NVR can operate using one of three types of networking connections.
Simple One to One Connection: A simple one to one connection is the simplest type of network
connection. It uses a cross-over cable to make a direct connection from one computer to another
(or in this case a computer to a NVR).
Direct High Speed Modem Connection: A direct modem connection uses a standard network cable
to connect the modem directly to a computer (or in this case a modem to the NVR). This type of
connection only covers single-port modems. For a combination modem/router, use the setup
described below.
Router or LAN Connection – A local area network connection requires either a router or a
pre-existing LAN connection. This is the most common type of connection. A router allows
multiple computers and NVR’s to access each other as well as the Internet. It assigns different
internal IP addresses to the computers.

Appendix

Appendix E: Auto HDD Retry Mechanism
The DVR/NVR/MDVR features Auto HDD Retry mechanism, which is designed to automatically
reboot to detect the installed HDDs when encounter HDD fail error.
Note: The Auto HDD Retry mechanism will only activate when all of the HDDs installed in the
DVR/NVR/MDVR are failed simultaneously. For example, if your DVR/NVR/MDVR installed one
HDD, when one HDD fails, the Auto HDD Retry mechanism activates; if your DVR/NVR/MDVR
installed three HDDs, when all of the 3 HDDs fail simultaneously, the Auto HDD Retry
mechanism activates.
When a HDD fail error occurs, a HDD Failure icon
will be displayed at the bottom of the
monitor and a “HDD Failed. Please check HDD(s) and SATA/power cables.” message will pop-up.
Owing to the Auto HDD Retry Mechanism, the NVR will then automatically reboot to detect the
installed HDDs. If there is no HDD detected, the NVR will start rebooting to detect the HDDs again
and again up to 3 times. During the rebooting process, a “HDD Failed. Rebooting…” message will
be displayed. Once the HDDs have been detected, the recording function will automatically
resume.
Disk Error
Message
HDD failed. Please check HDD(s)
and SATA/power cables.
HDD Failed. Rebooting…
OK
Note that the DVR/NVR/MDVR will automatically reboot to detect HDDs up to 3 times. If the Auto
HDD Retry process exceeds 3 times and the NVR still cannot detect HDDs, an “Auto HDD Retry
exceeds 3 times.” message will pop-up and a continuous beep sound will be played for notification.
It’s recommended to check the SATA and power cables connected to the HDDs; or replace new
HDDs if necessary.
Disk Error
Auto HDD Retry exceeds 3
times.
