the file size will be smaller. The option can vary from 1 to 30 images per second, dependent on
which grade of the software you are using (Business or Professional), as well as how many cameras
are connected.
Quality This slider affects how much compression is applied to the video. The Lowest quality will
compress the video more, creating smaller file sizes, but it will decrease the image quality.
Resolution This slider affects the amount of detail present in the image. Higher resolution
provides more detail, but simultaneously uses more disk space.
Default This will set all Video Encoder options back to the factory settings.
Approximate This text indicates how long it will take the camera to record 1GB of data if the
camera is recording constantly. As you increase the Frame Rate, Quality, and Resolution settings
the amount of time it takes to record 1GB of data will decrease. This is used as a general guide for
how long your system can record.
To estimate your total recording time, divide your hard drive size by the number of cameras you
have, and multiply that by the time in this section. For example, if you have 4 cameras and an 80GB
hard drive, and this counter states 3 hours. Your total recording would be 60 hours.
►►Example 80 GB divided by 4 Cameras is 20. 20 multiplied by 3 hours is 60
hours.
If you want to extend the amount of time you are recording, then you can lower the Frame Rate,
Resolution, or Quality. You can also set your cameras to record only during certain times of the day,
or set your cameras to record only when motion is detected.
Alternatively, by installing a larger hard drive into your computer you can record more clips, and
the clips will be stored for longer periods of time. You can also install more than one hard drive to
record even longer. Consult your computer’s manufacturer for additional information.

3.17 3GPP Server
The 3GPP server is designed to allow access to the live video stream from a mobile device, most
commonly cell phones or PDA devices. Please note that not all cellular phones support this feature!
For a Cellular Device to be able to connect and view the cameras remotely, it must meet three
important criteria:
•
•
•
The device MUST support the 3GP Video format.
The device MUST support Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP).
The device MUST be connected to a 3G Cellular network.
If all 3 criteria are met, then you should be able to connect and view your cameras on your mobile
device by going to the address of the system from within your device. An example URL is: rtsp://
mycameras.ezwatchip.com:554/mediaXX.3gp
The 'XX' portion of the URL can be set to which camera you want to view, with 00 corresponding to
Camera One and 03 corresponding to Camera Four.
►►Note If you are unsure whether or not your cellular device meets all three
criteria, contact the device manufacturer and your cellular network
provider.

3.40 Remote Access Configuration
In a typical setup, there are some additional configurations that need to be made to your DVR (PC)
and/or your Network Router before you will be able to access your cameras from a remote location.
This guide will assist you in configuring security features. For information on configuring the Main
Console software for remote access, refer to 3.23 Remote Server on Pg. 67 for more details.
■■ Step 1 It is recommended that you use the EZWatch IP service or a Static IP address before
attempting to remotely access your EZWatch Pro server. You can sign up for EZWatch IP at
www.ezwatchip.com or contact your ISP to obtain a Static IP address.
■■ Step 2 Go to Start > All Programs > EZWatch Pro 4.0 > Main Console > Network Service.
■■ Step 3 In the Network Service window, click on the Start button to begin streaming your
EZWatch Pro cameras live, thereby allowing users to log on to the server and view live streaming
cameras.
■■ Step 4 You may still need to configure security features on your DVR in order to allow Remote
Access. By default, security applications such as anti-virus programs (Norton™, McAfee™), software
firewalls (Windows Firewall™, ZoneAlarm™), and hardware firewalls (Routers, Modems) are typically
defaulted to block remote connections similar to EZWatch Pro Remote Access.
90 | Page
3.40.1 Anti-Virus Programs
Anti-Virus programs such as Norton Anti-Virus™ and McAfee Anti-Virus™ may need to be configured
in order for you to use the EZWatch Pro software applications. Please refer to the user manual of your
anti-virus program in order to determine how the EZWatch Pro software can be 'allowed' to work
in tandem with the anti-virus program. If a certain port number is requested, the default ports for
EZWatch Pro Remote Access are 5140, 5150, 5160, 80, and 8000.
3.40.2 Software Firewalls
Software firewalls such as Windows Firewall™ and ZoneAlarm™ may also need to be configured to
allow Remote Access. Typically, you will either need to 'allow' the EZWatch Pro software to be used or
you need to enter a port number similar to anti-virus programs or hardware firewalls. The default ports
for EZWatch Pro Remote Access are 80, 5140, 5150, and 5160. To setup Windows Firewall™, follow these
steps.
■■ Step 1 Click on your Windows Start Button > Control Panel > Security Center > Windows Firewall.
■■ Step 2 Click on the Exceptions tab at the top of the window.
■■ Step 3 Click on Add Port.
■■ Step 4 Enter EZWatch Pro as the Name, Enter 5150 as the Port, and select TCP. Repeat this step for
ports 80 and 8000.
■■ Step 5 Click on 'OK' to submit the information and then exit the window.
3.40.3 Hardware Firewalls
Hardware equipment such as wireless routers and some modems have built in firewalls to help
prevent unwanted connections to your computer and network. In order to allow programs such as
Remote Access, you need to open ports in your hardware firewall as well. Opening these ports allow
certain types of data such as video and audio to transmit to the internet. This is commonly known as
Port Forwarding.
Port Forwarding can be one of the more involved tasks you’ll need to perform to be able to set your
PC up for remote viewing, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. When taken one step at a time, we can
very quickly and easily determine how your network is set up, and once that is known, then the Port
Forwarding itself is very straight-forward.
Port Forwarding is necessary because of routers. Routers are devices that split one connection up
amongst many computers. One single internet address can host thousands of computers using a
router. A problem arises when you have more than one router—splitting up a connection over and
over again. Configuring more than one router is difficult and does not normally work.
3.40.4 Is your modem a router?
Many modems have built-in routers, so our first step is to determine if your modem is also a router.
This can be accomplished several ways: ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP), look up the modem
specification on the internet (the manufacturer’s product page should tell you), or look at the list of
routers located at http://www.portforward.com/ to see if your modem is listed there.
Page | 91
3.40.5 My modem is NOT a router
Modem
DVR
Internet
Fig. 121.DVR to Modem to Internet configuration
If your modem is not a router, look at how your computer is connected to the modem. If your
computer is connected directly from the modem to the PC, then you do not have a router. Your
connection is not being split up, and you do not need to do any Port Forwarding. This is the easiest
setup, but these days a setup like this is usually rare.
If your modem is not a router, but you have your computer connected to a separate router, then you
need to configure Port Forwarding on your router. Refer to 3.40.7 Setting up Port Forwarding on Pg.
93 to set up Port Forwarding.
3.40.6 My modem IS a router
DVR
Router
Modem
Internet
Fig. 122.DVR to Router to Modem to Internet configuration
If your modem is a router, then you need to determine if it is the only router present. If you have
more than one router, then you will need to bypass all but one of them. The first step is determining
whether or not there is a second router present. Follow the cable from your computer. Does it connect
directly into the modem? If this is the case, then you only have one router (the modem). You will need
to configure Port Forwarding on that modem as detailed in 3.40.7 Setting up Port Forwarding on
Pg. 93.
If your computer is connected to another device between it and the modem, then you need to
determine what kind of device it is. Hubs and Switches do not split up connections like routers do
(they only split up cables), and do not require any Port Forwarding. But if you have a router between
the computer and the modem, this means you have two routers present, and that creates a problem.
You will need to bypass the second router, or you need to turn off the router inside of the modem.
Turning off a router is done by setting the modem to Bridging mode. This cannot be done on all
routers, and to do this you should contact your ISP. Ask them if they can help you set the modem into
Bridging mode. Once the modem is in Bridging mode, you only have one router, and need to set up
Port Forwarding, as detailed in 3.40.7 Setting up Port Forwarding on Pg. 93.
92 | Page
If you cannot set your modem to Bridging mode, then you need to bypass the router. Typically this
is done by plugging the computer directly into the back of the modem. If there are not enough jacks
to plug the computer directly into the modem, use a hub or switch to increase the number of jacks
present. Run a cable from the modem into a hub, then run a cable from the hub to your computer. If
you still need the router then you can also plug the router into the hub—just do not plug the DVR into
the router. Now that the router has been bypassed, set up port forwarding on the modem, as detailed
in 3.40.7 Setting up Port Forwarding on Pg. 93.

3.40.7 Setting up Port Forwarding
Your router must be configured for Port Forwarding in order for a user to view your DVR from a remote
location. If there are many computers within a network, a router is used to help split the connection
to the internet. If a router does not know which PC is the recipient of a connection request, the router
discards the request. Port Forwarding forces a router to send the connection request to a specific
computer—in our case, the DVR.
3.40.7.1 Business Connections
If you have a business internet connection, you will want to contact your ISP and determine if they
must set up the Port Forwarding for you. Many business connections use special modems that cannot
be configured by the user. If this is the case, you must contact your ISP and ask them to set up port
forwarding on the following ports: Port 80 (if Port 80 cannot be used, we recommend port 8000), Port
5140, Port 5150, and Port 5160.
►►Note It is not enough merely to 'Open' a port. If a port is 'Open,' then your
connection request will not be blocked, but forwarding is STILL required to
tell the router which computer to send the connection request. Many ISPs
may misunderstand this and only 'Open' the port, and because forwarding
is not set up, you still will be unable to connect. Please make certain the ISP
has actually forwarded, and not just opened, your ports.
Page | 93
3.40.7.2 Personal Connection
If you are using a router, you need to obtain the Make and Model number of the unit. For more
information on configuring Port Forwarding, please refer to the user manual of your router or follow
the steps for assistance in setting up Port Forwarding on your router or modem.
■■ Step 1 Open a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. Go to the web address
www.portforward.com.
■■ Step 2 From the home page, there is a list of routers/modems sorted by Make and Model. Locate
your device in the list.
►►Note If your router or modem is not listed here, you will need to refer to the
User Manual for instructions on configuring Port Forward. You may also be
able to contact the manufacturer of the device or your ISP if they provided
the router/modem for you.
■■ Step 3 Once you have located your router/modem, the next page will ask you to select the
program for which you are forwarding ports. EZWatch Pro will not appear in this list of programs.
►►Note You need to use the Default Guide to set up Port Forwarding for
EZWatch Pro.
■■ Step 4 Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the following pages to set up Port
Forwarding for your specific router/modem. The default ports for EZWatch Pro Remote Access are
Port 80, Port 5140, Port 5150, and Port 5160. You will need to enter each one of these ports.
►►Note www.portforward.com will not set up port forwarding for you. It
simply provides step-by-step instructions on setting up port forwarding
on your router/modem. You will need to access your router/modem
configuration using your Internet Explorer browser in order to add the
ports.
3.41 Remote Access Connection

Fig. 137.Wiring multi-camera power supply and extending a
camera’s power cable
■■ Step 1 At the camera location, take the power cable and strip away the outer sheathing to
expose the inner two wires (black and red). Then strip away about ¼” of the wire’s insulation to
expose the copper wire. Do the same to the power wire pig tail which connects to the camera
power connection, as shown.
►►Note Do not strip or cut the power lead coming directly from the camera.
You should strip the 'pig tail' power cable which came with your kit. You
should have one 'pig tail' for each camera.
■■ Step 2 Take the red power cable lead and twist it together with the black and white lead from the
power wire pig tail. Now take the black lead from the power cable and twist it together with the all

them onto the wires until they are firmly secured.
■■ Step 3 Now connect the other end of the extended power cable to the power supply. First strip
the wires back as detailed in Step 1. The power supply designates which terminal is positive and
negative. Insert the red wire under the positive terminal and the black wire under the negative
terminal. Now tighten down the terminal screws.
■■ Step 4 Finally, connect the power pig tail to the camera’s power lead, as shown.
4.3 How To Place Cameras and Connection Tips
•
•
Camera lenses can provide a wide-angle view or a long-distance view. As camera lens sizes (in
millimeters) increase, the camera can see greater detail at a greater distance , but the angle of
view decreases. Using a 3.6 mm lens, one may only be able to recognize faces up to 10-15 feet
away, but the camera can provide a wide 70 degree viewing angle. A 25 mm lens may provide
the same detail from 70 feet away, but the camera can only provide a narrow 11 degree
viewing angle.
A sturdy, durable, protective housing is necessary for an outdoor camera installation.
Depending on the climate in your location, you will need to consider the temperature ranges
your cameras will need to endure.
Fig. 138.Sturdy, durable, protective housing for outdoor
camera installation
•
•
It is recommend you do not use any camera in an outdoor setting that is intended to be
used only indoors. Even if the camera is not directly exposed to rain, snow, or direct sunlight,
the camera housing and components are not sealed and properly protected from extreme
temperatures or potential moisture accumulation. You can, however, use any camera intended
for outdoor use in an indoor application.
Avoid mounting cameras on a metal surface. Conductive surfaces can not only create
interference, but can also cause damage from power surges or electrical storms.
Fig. 139.Conductive surface warning sign
•
•
Avoid running cables near strong sources of interference. Common sources of interference are
fluorescent lights, electrical appliances, and 110 V power cabling/outlets.
If you experience frequent electrical storms or other hazardous electrical surges, it is
recommended you use inline coax cable surge protectors for your outdoor cameras. This will
protect your DVR, time-lapse recorder, and the other cameras from any high voltage surges.

“How To” Guide
•
Facing a camera toward a light source, window, or glass door can result in objects looking too
dark in the camera’s view when it is bright outside. Try to avoid pointing the camera straight at
a light source, out a window, or out a glass door to avoid having some objects too dark to view.
Fig. 140.Avoid facing camera toward bright sources
•
If you are using the typical RG-59 coaxial cable for video, a maximum length of 500 ft.
is recommended. If you need to install the cable farther than 500 ft., a CAT-5 cable and
transmitter is recommended.
►►Note Regardless of the length of your video cable, you will still need to
provide power within 100 ft. of the camera using a standard 18/2 power
cable.
•
All cameras are tested before they leave our warehouse, yet any number of things can happen
during shipment. To ensure proper behavior, please test all cameras by connecting them to the
DVR before installing the cameras.
4.4 How To Set Up Internet Access Using EZWatchIP
Fig. 141.EZWatchIP logo
■■ Step 1 First, make sure the EZWatch Pro DVR/Camera Server has a connection to the internet.
This can be DSL, Cable, or Dial Up. Make sure you are able to surf the web before moving to Step 2.
■■ Step 2 Using the DVR/Camera Server, log on to our EZWatchIP web site at www.ezwatchip.com.
Click on the Sign Up tab and enter in your information following the steps. After you have entered
all your information, click on the download link and save the EZWatchIP Setup program to your
computer. Be sure to remember where you saved this program so that you can find it when you
are ready to run the installation.

How EZWatch IP Works
•
•
•
On your remote PC, type your EZWatch IP domain name into the address bar of your web
browser, and press return.
Your remote PC will be momentarily directed to our secure EZWatch IP server which finds
the IP address your DVR/Camera Server is using. Immediately after this happens, you are
redirected to your DVR/Camera Server. This process takes approximately 2 to 4 seconds
and eliminates the need for a static IP address.
You are automatically linked to your Security Camera System. Since all security measures
are still in place, enter your Username and Password.
■■ Step 3 Once the software download is complete. Click on the EZWatchIP-Setup.exe icon and click
on 'Run' to install the EZWatchIP software.
Follow the steps indicated. After you have completed the installation, if the program doesn’t
automatically open the login window, then click on the red EZWatchIP icon on your desktop.
Fig. 143.EZWatchIP login window
This will open the login window where you enter the username and password you created when
you signed up for the service. After you enter your information, simply click the Begin Update
108 | Page
“How To” Guide
button to complete the update. This will send the first communication to our IP server and activate
your account.
If you encounter any problems up to this point, please call 1-866-241-3400 to reach our tech
support personnel for help.
Fig. 144.EZWatchIP icon in system tray of task bar
After you click the Begin Update button, the login window will disappear and the round red
EZWatchIP icon will appear in your task bar. This icon indicates the service is operating.
The EZWatchIP program will check every 30 minutes to see if your Public IP Address has changed.
If it has, it will send the new address to our system so that the domain name you created (test.
ezwatchip.com, for example) will now be changed and allow you to access your system remotely.
■■ Step 4 Now that you have your EZWatchIP service up and running, the next step is to configure
the DVR so that you can access it remotely. Following the steps on the next page will guide you
through opening your ports on your router or modem so that you can now use the system. Just
remember when you go to your remote location(s), when you are asked to enter your IP address
you will instead enter the domain name you created with EZWatch IP.
4.5 How To Set Up Pan/Tilt/Zoom Cameras
4.5.1 Hardware Set Up for Netcom Module
►►Note To control a PTZ camera, each system must have (1) USB to RS-485
Netcom Module and (2) RS-485 communication wire. The recommended
communication wire is a twisted shielded two conductor cable. The
maximum distance to all cameras is 3000 ft.
■■ Step 1 Insert your EZWatch Pro 4.0 Installation disc into your PC.
■■ Step 2 Plug the USB to RS-485 Netcom Module into an available USB Port on the PC.
■■ Step 3 The Windows Hardware Wizard will automatically detect the Netcom Module. Please
select the 'Install the software automatically' option in the Wizard.
■■ Step 4 Reboot or Restart the PC.
■■ Step 5 Connect the communication wire to the cameras. Then connect the opposite end of the
communication wire to the Netcom Module. Using a small screwdriver, connect the positive wire
(+) to the TX+/D+ terminal and connect the negative wire (-) to the TX-/D- terminal on the Netcom
Module.
This will correspond to the positive (+) and the negative (-) communication terminals on the PTZ
cameras. Insure all cables are fully seated.
“How To” Guides
Page | 109
►►Note Different PTZ cameras label the two wire communication wires
differently. However, they all are indicating the same connection. The
(+) communication connection on the Netcom module is labeled TX+/
D+ but the connection at the camera location may be labeled as any of
the following: TX+, RS485+, Red+. Likewise, the negative connection on
the Netcom module is labeled TX-/D-, but the related camera connection
could be labeled TX-, RS485-, or Black-.
