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 outdoor camera at temperatures within -20°C ~ 55°C / -4°F ~ 131°F; this device is not rated as

submersible. The input power source is 24VDC / 24 VAC~ / 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.

1. Introduction

The EPN5210 / EPN5230 IR network speed dome cameras support 10x / 30x optical zoom and dual

streams from H.264. Adopted with a full HD Sony CMOS image sensor along with a weather-proof (IP66)

housing and IR LEDs, the cameras are able to provide up to 2MP sharp and clear real-time images day or

night, rain or shine. The EPN series IR network speed dome cameras meet a wide variety of needs for

outdoor surveillance without blind spots.

Featured with 3D PTZ function, the speed dome cameras allow users to control Zoom In/Out and the

directions more easily. In the 3D PTZ mode, you can simply click and drag to select the desired Zoom

In/Out area, or move to the desired position freely just by a click.

The IR network speed dome cameras provide pan/tilt speed ranging from 240° per second (EPN5210) /

200° per second (EPN5230) to 0.1° per second for accurate monitoring. A maximum of 255 preset

positions can be configured for precise location of target areas. Features like auto pan, tour and patterns

are all provided.

The cameras also features Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function, which can provide clear images even

under back light circumstances where intensity of illumination can vary excessively. The DNR (Digital

Noise Reduction) function is designed for reducing the noises in the images, allowing the camera to

better distinguish between real motion and image noise, and thus results in a possibility to store more

video evidence on the connected storage devices.

A built-in micro SD card slot is also provided. You can power the camera by connecting the camera to a

24VAC~ / 24VDC power supply or a PoE switch. Since the EPN series IR network speed dome cameras

conform to ONVIF 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

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.

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. To remotely access the Web interface of the IP

camera, please refer to 7.3.2 DDNS.

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 7.3.2 DDNS.

Right: Pinout of a crossed-over cable.

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:

IP camera will automatically update the information to the DDNS to ensure it is always available for

remote access.

Before enabling the following DDNS function, user should have applied for a host name from the DDS

service provider’s website. We support these four DDNS server providers:

9299.org, 3322.net, www.dyndns.com, www.everfocusddns.com

D. 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.

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.

62

EPN5230 / EPN5210

2. On the Network Setting page (Setting > Network > Ethernet / Port Setting), configure the IP

Settings and Port Settings then click the Save button.

63

EPN5230 / EPN5210

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 > Network > DDNS), register a free host name from EverFocus

DDNS and then click the Save button.

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

c. Click Save.

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.

1. Connecting the EKB200 keyboard to a PC and configuring the PTZ control functions

2. Go to the EKB200 setup page of the Genie XMS server (Setting > System Setting > EKB200) to

define the function for each control key on the keyboard. Please refer to the Genie XMS User’s

Manual for more details.

3. After defining the function for each control key on the keyboard, the camera will do the action

which you’ve defined for the key once you press the control key on the keyboard.
