EHN Plus Series
1. Introduction
The EHN Plus series is an outdoor vandal proof IP dome delivering image quality of up to 3-megapixel. The
camera is equipped with a P-Iris, which enables the camera to automatically and precisely control the Iris
opening in all lighting conditions for optimal depth of field and image quality including sharpness and
clarity.
The EHN Plus series supports both H.264 and MJPEG compression formats. The IP66-rating and vandal
proof housing make it suitable for outdoor use. The IR LEDs are also implemented for infrared illumination
in night vision applications.
The EHN Plus 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 SDHC
card slot and Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3at) features are also provided. You can power the camera
over the network or by connecting the camera to a 12V DC power supply. Since the EHN Plus series
conforms to ONVIF / PSIA for compatibility with other network video devices, it interoperates with a wide
variety of hardware and software systems.

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.
17
EHN Plus Series
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:
