131°F (PoE), and humidity between 20% and 80%; this device is not rated as submersible. The input

power source is 12VDC / 24VAC~ / 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

1. Introduction

EHN7221 is a 2-megapixel H.265 low light IP outdoor dome camera, providing 60fps full HD 1080p video

quality. Adopted with a Sony 1/2.8” CMOS image sensor, the EHN7221 features high sensitivity

characteristics that enable the IP camera to perform clear color images with less image noise even in the

starlight or moonlight environment. The Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function on the other hand enables

the IP camera to provide clear images even under back light circumstances where intensity of illumination

can vary excessively.

Equipped with an auto focus lens, EHN7221 can provide the desired field of view with superior video

quality in precision focus. Equipped with a P-Iris, the IP camera is capable of controlling the best iris

position automatically and precisely in varying lighting conditions, expanding the focus area of the images

and meanwhile improve the image sharpness. Featured with a weather-proof (IP68) and vandal-proof

(IK10) housing, EHN7221 meets a wide variety of needs for outdoor surveillance.

EHN7221 supports triple streams from H.265, H.264 or MJPEG compression formats. In same resolution,

the H.265 provides higher compression efficiency and lower bitrate comparing with H.264 codec, allowing

more efficient bandwidth and data storage usage. Moreover, the full HD 1080p with 60fps successfully

improves the image quality, which enables the IP camera to capture clear images on fast moving objects,

such as license plates.

EHN7221 has a built-in micro SDHC card slot. Except 12VDC and 24VAC~ power supply, the IP camera also

supports Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af), which eliminates the need for power cables and thus reduce

the installation costs. EHN7221 conforms to ONVIF for compatibility with other network video devices. You

can also use EverFocus Mobile applications to remotely view the live views of the cameras through your

iOS or Android handheld devices; or use EverFocus CMS to remotely manage multiple IP devices connected

on the network.

by using the compatible media players. Click Apply to apply the changes or Cancel to cancel the

changes and return to the previous settings.

 RTP over UDP: The RTSP protocol uses UDP for camera data stream transmission.  RTP over TCP: The RTSP protocol uses TCP for camera data stream transmission.  RTP over HTTP: The RTSP protocol uses HTTP for camera data stream transmission.

【IP Settings】Enter the IPv4 / IPv6 details in this area, which applies to your system. Click Apply to

apply the changes or Cancel to cancel the changes and return to the previous settings.

IP Mode: Refer to the network administrator for these settings of the server. Default: DHCP.

 DHCP: This setting lets the system use an automatically assigned (dynamic) IP address. This

address can change under certain circumstances. For instance, when the camera’s network

switch / hub has to be rebooted. Do not assign to the DHCP server the same IP addresses

used for the other network cameras and PCs with unique IP addresses.

 Static IP: The user can manually set the Static IP address. This type of address is stable and

cannot change, but the user has to make sure there are no address conflicts with other

network-connected devices.

 PPPoE: This is a DSL-connection application. The ISP will ask the user to input a username and

password. Contact your ISP for these details.

 IPv4:

IP address: When DHCP is not used, the user needs to manually enter the IP address of the

camera. Do not enter an IP address that is already used for your computer or other network

cameras.

Subnet Mask: This field is used to set the subnet mask for your network, so that the IP camera

will be recognized within the network. Example: 255.255.255.0. When DHCP is selected, the

DHCP server will assign this value automatically.

Gateway: This field is used to set the gateway for your network so that the IP camera will be

recognized within the network. When DHCP is selected, the DHCP server will assign this value

automatically.

B. Enabling the Multicast Function

The Multicast Function is a technique for one-to-many communication over an IP infrastructure in a

network that is designed to share IP camera loading and reduce network bandwidth. Note that for this

function to work, the router / switch must support multicast function.

To enable the Multicast Function:

1. Complete the installation of the IP cameras, routers / switches and computers (refer to diagram above).

2. Access to the Web UI of the IP camera to enable the Multicast function. Click the Apply button to save

the setting. (Setting > Advanced tab > System Settings > Network > Multicast Settings > Enable

Multicast)

Page 90

EHN7221

3. Go to the setting page of the router / switch to enable the Multicast function.

Here we use a D-Link DIR655 router and EverFocus 24-port switch for example.

4. The Multicast function setup is now complete.

Page 91

EHN7221

C. RTSP URL Syntax

Following is the RTSP URL syntax of EverFocus’ IP cameras.

rtsp://[device-ip-address]:554/Streaming/channels/[0]

* [device-ip-address] is the IP address of the IP camera

* [0] is for Main Stream; [1] is for Sub Stream

For example, if the IP address of the IP camera is 192.168.37.55, the RTSP URL (main stream / sub stream)

of this IP camera will be:

Main Stream:

rtsp://192.168.37.55:554/Streaming/channels/0

Sub Stream:

rtsp://192.168.37.55:554/Streaming/channels/1

D. Setting up Port Forwarding Function

IP Camera port forwarding can be used when users need to access a certain IP camera from outside of the

local network where the IP camera is connected to.

To enable the IP camera port forwarding function, you have to configure the port forwarding settings both

on the IP camera and the router (UPnP-enabled). Please follow the steps below:

1. Go to Setting > System Settings > Network.

a. Set up a static IP for the IP camera. Type in the subnet mask, gateway and the DNS if provided

by the Internet Service Provider. Click the Apply button.

Page 93

EHN7221

Enter the IP address of the IP camera

Enter the HTTP/HTTPS/RTSP port

numbers of the IP camera

b. Enter the port numbers and check the Enable UPnP Port Forwarding box to enable the port

forwarding function. Click the Apply button.

The default ports of all EverFocus’ IP cameras are as below. You can change the port numbers if

necessary. Be sure the port numbers setup on the router match the ones setup here.

HTTP: 80

HTTPS: 443

RTSP: 554

2. Set up the port forwarding settings on the router. Here we use D-Link’s router for example.

Please be noted that each router may look different in some ways, however, the concept of the

port forwarding setting is the same. For more details, please consult the manual of your router.

3. Open a browser and type in the IP address of the router, now you are able to access the IP camera

from the Internet.

Page 94

EHN7221

E. Setting up DDNS Function

If you set up your IP Camera with DHCP network, the IP address of your IP Camera may change at different

times for different reasons, particularly after a power failure. The changing IP address of the IP Camera

may cause you difficulties accessing the IP Camera. To solve this problem, you can set up the DDNS

function to your IP Camera, and access your IP Camera with a fixed host name whenever the IP address of

your IP Camera changes.

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is a service used to map a domain name to the dynamic IP address

of a network device. It assigns a domain name (URL) to the IP Camera, so that the user does not need to

go through the trouble of checking if the IP address assigned by DHCP Server has changed. Once the IP is

changed, the IP Camera will automatically update the information to the DDNS to ensure it is always

available for remote access.

To set up DDNS for your IP Camera, you have to 1) enable the DMZ or Port Forwarding function of your

router 2) configure the network setting of your IP Camera 3) configure the DDNS setting of your IP Camera.

Please follow the steps below.

Page 95

EHN7221

Note: If you enable the Port Forwarding of your router, the Enable UPnP Port Forwarding function

must be enabled on the IP camera (see Port Settings field in the Step 2 image).

To enable the DDNS function:

1. In order to access the IP camera from outside of the local network, enable either the Port Forwarding

or DMZ function of your router. Please refer to the manual of your router for more details.

Page 96

EHN7221

2. On the Network Setting page (Setting > System Settings > Network > IP Settings), configure the IP

Settings, keep the default Port Settings and then click the Apply button.

 If Static IP is selected: Enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and the DNS Server.

Please consult with your ISP service provider for the information of subnet mask, default gateway

and the DNS Server.

 If DHCP is selected: The IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and the DNS Server will be

assigned automatically by DHCP server.

 If PPPoE is selected: Enter the User Name (e.g. xxxx@hinet.net) and Password provided by your

ISP service provider.

Page 97

EHN7221

Note: The host name should not include a space, or a dot (period) or any special characters

particularly _~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + < > " ; : . ,

3. In the DDNS Settings field (Setting > Advanced tab > System Settings > Network > DDNS Settings),

a. Check Enable Service ISP to enable the DDNS function. b. Select www.everfocusddns.com and enter a desired host name in the IP Camera Name field. If

the host name is available, a “Success” window will appear. Click OK. If not, try another host

name until the “Success” window appears.

c. Click Apply.

Page 98

EHN7221

4. The DDNS setup is now complete. Open a browser and enter the domain name (http://[host

name].everfocusddns.com) in the address field. The Web interface of the device should be displayed.

For example, if you’ve obtained the host name “HQtest” from EverFocus DDNS server, enter

http://HQtest.everfocusddns.com in the address field of the browser.
