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 DVR and the other into the network card on the back of the computer.

Log into the EverFocus DVR menu and go to the Network Setting Menu.

You must use the Static IP option for this type of connection.
