1. Introduction
The EAN series is a box-type IP camera delivering image quality of up to 3-megapixel. The EAN series
features the Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function, which can provide clear images even under back light
circumstances where intensity of illumination can vary excessively. A built-in micro SD card slot and
Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af) features are also provided. You can power the camera over the
network or by connecting the camera to a 12 VDC power supply. The camera also features H.264 /
MJPEG multi-stream output for simultaneous live monitoring and high-resolution recording. Since the
EAN series conforms to ONVIF / PSIA for compatibility with other network video devices, it interoperates
with a wide variety of hardware and software systems. You can also use EverFocus Mobile Applications
to remotely view the live views of the cameras through your handheld devices; or use EverFocus CMS to
remotely manage multiple IP devices connected on the LAN or WAN. The EAN series is designed for
simple installation and supports all types of indoor mounting applications.

5.3 Connecting the Camera to the Network
There are three methods to connect the IP camera to the network: Router or LAN Connection, Direct
High-Speed Connection and One-to-One Connection.
Router or LAN connection
This is the most common connection in which the IP camera is connected to a router and allows
multiple users on and off site to see the IP camera on a LAN/WAN (Internet). The camera must be
assigned an IP address that is compatible with its LAN. By setting up port forwarding on the router,
you can remotely access the cameras from outside of the LAN via the Internet. To remotely access the
Web interface of the IP camera, please refer to 7.3.2 DDNS. To set up port forwarding, please consult
the manual of the router.
Straight-through LAN patch cable
Right: Pinout of a straight-through cable.
EAN Series
13
Direct High-Speed Connection
In a Direct High-Speed Connection, the camera connects directly to a modem without the need for a
router. You need to set the static or dynamic WAN IP address assigned by your ISP (Internet Service
Provider) in the camera’s configuration web pages. To access the camera, just type “http://xxx”,
where xxx is the IP address given by your ISP. If you have a dynamic IP address, this connection may
require that you use DDNS for a reliable connection. Please refer to 7.3.2 DDNS.
One-to-One Connection (Directly from PC to IP Camera)
You can connect directly without using a switch, router or modem. However, only the PC connected
to the camera will be able to view the IP camera. You will also have to manually assign a compatible IP
address to both the computer and the IP camera. Unless the PC has another network connection, the
IP camera will be the only network device visible to the PC. See the diagram below:
Pinout of straight patch cable
Right: Pinout of a crossed-over cable.

11. One Push
This function is only available for EAN3120 / 3220. The One Push button can be displayed on the
live view window by enabling the Show One Push Buttons function on the User Config < Live View
Config Setting page (see 7.2.1 Live View Config). To enable the button (turned from faded to clear),

Press the “Trigger Event” button to trigger an event directly from the Live page. If you have
configured an event (in the Event submenu) that will trigger a reaction (like a recording) when a
Manual Trigger event occurs, clicking this button will trigger that reaction. You can select what that
reaction will be. You can, for instance, set the camera to record the audio/video feed to the Micro
SD card on board the camera. You can then click on the Playback button to open the Playback page
and search for and play all such recordings that had been stored on the card. Such event actions
will be effective once they have been configured in the “Event” menu (see 7.7 Event).
– Reset Alarm
Press the “Reset Alarm” button to reset the alarm output remotely.
13. Status Display (info lines that can be placed above video box or at bottom of page)
This shows the name of the camera that is currently active or being configured, current date/time
and current frame rate. You can activate these info displays in the Settings > User Config page (see
7.2 User Config).
14. Event Signal Icons (above video screen)
When an alarm or motion event is triggered, a signal icon will appear at the top right of the Live
View window to alert the user.
Alarm event icon : When an alarm is triggered, this icon appears.
Motion detection icons : The colors of these motion event icons correspond to the
colors of the motion trigger areas you have configured in the Motion Detection submenu (see 7.7.2
Motion Detection).
Recording icon : When the camera is recording to a PC-based folder, this icon appears.
EAN Series
17
6. Playback
You can remotely play back the recordings stored in the on-camera micro SD card on the Web interface,
or play back the recordings stored in the computer using the ARV Viewer included in the software CD.
Playback is designed as a quick way to check recent recordings that were triggered by Events that were
configured to “Record to SD Card” in the Settings > Event > Event Settings page (see 7.7.1 Event
Settings).
Note: Note that the Playback page is only accessible once the on-camera SD card is inserted and

inserted, and the Remove button is still faded, pull the card out and re-insert it.)
2. Slide the card into the slot until it clicks into position.
3. The Remove button should become active within a few seconds, indicating the card is active.
4. If the Remove button stays faded, click the Format button to format the card. NOTE: All data
on the disk will be deleted if the Format button is clicked.
6.2.2 Testing the Playback Function
1. Once the SD card is detected by the system, the button (inactive)
will turn to (active).
2. To test the Playback function (this is not required), set up a “Manual Trigger” Recording
Event by clicking Settings > Event > Event Settings.
3. Click the “Add” button on the middle right side of the page to open an “Add Event” box.
4. Give the event a name, like “Test 1”.
