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.
