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 -40°C ~ 55°C / -40°F ~ 131°F (12 VDC) or -20 the camera at
temperatures wi; 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 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.

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 rou ter.
Straight-through LAN patch cable
Right: Pinout of a straight-through cable.
EHN Series
18
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 EHN3160 / 3260. 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),
on the Video < Advanced Setting page, select One Push from the White Balance Settings Mode
drop-down list, and click the Apply button. Once this is done, pressing the One Push button on the
Live View Window will instruct the camera to adjust the white balance settings, and these settings

balance to suit the user, if the Auto or Manual mode does not give the result the user wants.
12. Manual Control
– Trigger Event
Press the “Trigger Event” button to trigger an event directly from the Live View window. 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 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

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.

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.
