ECOR DVR provides fast MPEG-4 format image transmission and network remote configuration.

ATTENTION: A monitor is required for initial network configuration. For more information about network setup, please refer to Chapter 7.

Physically, two basic types of connection are possible:

2.4.1Direct PC Connection through Crossover Network Cable

Make sure that the PC is equipped with a 10/100/1000 Mbps compatible network connection.
