Gateway Address, Virtual Ports | EverFocus EDR410H, EDR810H, EDR810M

10.3 Gateway Address

Each host in a LAN has a gateway. A gateway address is composed of four octets (numbers in the range of 0 to 255) separated by decimal points. The gateway address is used to uniquely identify a host or computer on the LAN which assigns the IP addresses to your network. For example, a Linksys router has an IP address of 192.168.1.1. If you were using this type of router within your LAN, then your gateway would be the IP address of the Linksys router. The reason this would be your gateway is because the Linksys is assigning the IP addresses for your network therefore the Linksys would be the gateway to your network. This is similar to the zip code of your address.

10.4 Virtual Ports

A port number represents an endpoint or "channel" for network communications. Port numbers allow different applications on the same computer 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 Web sites a person visits on the Internet use a URL like the following:

http://www.everfocus.com:8100/

In this example, the number 8100 refers to the port number used by the Web browser to connect to the Web server. Normally, a Web site uses port number 80 and this number need not 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 low end of the range (such as 80 for HTTP). This could be similar to the front door of your house. Without the door to the house being open you could not enter it. 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 or what it is addressing.

Note: The term port also refers to several other aspects of network technology. A port can refer to a physical connection point for peripheral devices such as serial, parallel, and USB ports. The term port also refers to certain Ethernet connection points, such as those on a hub, switch, or router.

10.5 Pre-Installation

Before we begin with the installation we must ask ourselves a few questions in order to figure out where to begin with networking our DVR’s.

Do you have Hi-speed Internet?

______________

There are many types of high speed Internet available. Three commonly used ones are T1, Cable, and DSL (in order of speed).

EDR810M, EDR410H, EDR810H, EDR410M specifications

The EverFocus EDR410M, EDR810M, and EDR410MW represent a significant leap in the domain of mobile video recorders, tailored specifically for applications in transportation and surveillance.

The device also boasts real-time recording, enabling continuous surveillance, essential for transporting valuable goods or ensuring passenger safety.

In contrast, the EDR810M expands upon these capabilities with an impressive eight-channel recording system. This model is ideal for larger fleets or environments where comprehensive monitoring is necessary. Like the EDR410M, it utilizes H.264 compression technology and offers HDMI output for seamless connection to external displays. The EDR810M also features advanced event trigger functions, which automatically start recording in response to specific actions, such as sharp turns or sudden braking, enhancing the overall security protocol.

The EDR410MW stands out with its built-in Wi-Fi capability, providing users with the ability to access footage remotely. This feature is particularly valuable for fleet managers who need instant access to video data for review and incident analysis. All three models support a variety of storage options, including SSD and HDD, accommodating the diverse needs of modern transportation services.

Another key characteristic shared by these models is their rugged design, ensuring resilience against harsh environmental conditions. They are built to withstand vibrations and shocks, as commonly experienced in mobile applications. Furthermore, they come equipped with GPS functionality, enabling location tracking and route mapping for optimizing logistics.

Overall, the EverFocus EDR410M, EDR810M, and EDR410MW embody a blend of innovative features and robust technology that are crucial in the mobile surveillance market. These devices empower fleet managers and security personnel with the tools they need to enhance safety, accountability, and efficiency in their operations.
