Precautions
1. Do not install the camera near electric or magnetic fields.
Install the camera away from TV/radio transmitters, magnets, electric motors, transformers and audio speakers since the electromagnetic fields generated from these devices may distort the video image or otherwise interfere with camera operation.
2.Never disassemble the camera beyond the recommendations in this manual nor introduce materials other than those recommended herein.
Improper disassembly or introduction of corrosive materials may result in equipment failure or other damage.
3.Try to avoid facing the camera toward the sun.
In some circumstances, direct sunlight may cause permanent damage to the sensor and/or internal circuits, as well as creating unbalanced illumination beyond the capability of the camera to compensate.
4.Keep the power cord away from water and other liquids and never touch the power cord with wet hands.
Touching a wet power cord with your hands or touching the power cord with wet hands may result in electric shock.
5.Never install the camera in areas exposed to oil, gas or solvents.
Oil, gas or solvents may result in equipment failure, electric shock or, in extreme cases, fire.
6. Cleaning
For cameras with interchangeable lenses, do not touch the surface of the sensor directly with the hands. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator and ethanol to clean the sensor and the camera lens. Use a damp soft cloth to remove any dirt from the camera body. Please do not use complex solvents, corrosive or abrasive agents for cleaning of any part of the camera.
7.Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings.
Use the camera at temperatures within -10°C ~ 50°C / 14°F ~ 122°F, and humidity between 20% and 80%; this device is not rated as submersible. The input power source is 12 VDC / PoE. Be sure to connect the proper + / - polarity and voltage, as incorrect polarity or too high a voltage will likely cause the camera to fail, and such damage is not covered by the warranty. The use of properly fused or Class 3 power limited type supplies is highly recommended.
8.Mounting
Use care in selecting a solid mounting surface which will support the weight of the camera plus any wind, snow, ice or other loading, and securely attach the camera to the mounting surface using screws and anchors which will properly support the camera. If necessary (e.g. when mounting to drop ceilings) use a safety wire to provide additional support for the camera.

EBN268
1. Introduction
The EBN268 is a 2-megapixel outdoor ball IP camera, providing 30 fps at 1920 x 1080 viewing resolution. The camera supports dual streams from H.264 and MJPEG video compression formats. Equipped with weather-resistance (IP66) housing plus 36 IR LEDs for enabling the night visibility of up to 30 meters, the camera meets a wide variety of needs for outdoor surveillance. Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) supplies power to the camera via the network for easy installation with only one cable, eliminating the need for power cables and reducing installation costs. EBN268 conforms to ONVIF / PSIA for compatibility with other network video devices – even from other manufacturers. 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 network.
System Requirement
Before installing, please check that your computer meets these system requirements.
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP / Vista (32-bit) / 7 (32-bit)

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 6.1.1 DDNS. To set up port forwarding, please consult the manual of the router.
11
EBN268
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.xxx.xxx.xxx”, where xxx.xxx.xxx.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
6.1.1 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:
