DDNS. DDNS is a Dynamic Domain Name Server, a service that
provides a central (public) database where DNS 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.
What type of DVR are you installing? ______________
Everfocus EDR series: EDR 400, 1600 or 1680

What Type of Network Connection do you have?
Everfocus DVR’s can operate using three distinct types of networking
connections.
1. Simple One to One Connection: A simple one to one connection is the
most simple network connection. Basically it is a connection between a
Computer and Another Computer or in this case a DVR using a cross-
over cable. (See page on how to install this type of connection)
2. Direct High Speed Modem Connection: A direct high speed modem
connection is a network connection from the modem directly to a
computer or in this case the DVR. (See page on how to install this type of
connection)
3. Router or LAN Connection – A local area network connection either
requires a router or a pre-existing LAN connection. Typically this type of
connection is the most commonly used application. A router allows
multiple computers and DVR’s to access each other as well as the Internet.
It assigns different internal IP addresses to the computers.
