eZ.Controller: Easily control eZ.HD camera’s OSD at the DVR end.

Traditionally, the CCTV installer needs to take a portable monitor to connect to the

camera for controlling the camera OSD at the camera installation site as the Diagram A

below. It will take extra effort, time and people to adjust the camera.

Now, EverFocus’ eZ.Controller allows users to control the camera OSD simply on the

monitor at the DVR end as illustrated in Diagram B.
