is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warning: Changes or modifications made to this equipment, not expressly approved by EverFocus or

parties authorized by EverFocus could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

EDN Series cameras comply with CE and FCC.

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.

This camera is suitable for outdoor operation only. Use the camera at temperatures within

0°C~40°C/32°F~104°F. 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 2 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.

EDN2160/2260/2560

1. Introduction

The EDN Series IP camera is a palm-sized mini dome that comes with three models, 1 MP, 2 MP and 5 MP,

providing up to 10 fps at 2560 x 1920 viewing resolution. The cameras support dual streams from H.264,

MJPEG or MPEG4. Equipped with 19 IR LEDs, the EDN series cameras can support the night visibility of up to

10 meters.

The EDN series cameras are small yet versatile and powerful. With the true Day/Night functionality

benefited from auto IR-cut filter, the cameras can deliver high-clarity images in lowlight or nighttime

conditions. Coupled with the Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function to overcome extreme lighting conditions,

the cameras are able to offer optimized quality images during the day. A built-in micro SDHC card slot and

Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af Class 3) features are also provided. You can power the camera over the

network or by connecting the camera to a 12 VDC power supply.

Since the EDN 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 monitor the live views of the cameras through your handheld devices; or use

EverFocus CMS to remotely manage multiple IP devices connected on the network. With all the above

advantages plus the simple and flat user interface design, the EDN series brings out the clarity and usability

in your surveillance system.
