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.

This camera is suitable for outdoor operation only. Use the camera at temperatures within

0°C~40°C/32°F~104°F; 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.

7.1.2 Network

7.1.2.1 Protocol Setting

You can transmit the data stream from the IP cameras using the UDP, TCP or HTTP protocol through

the remote/local network.

Select a protocol for the remote network and local network respectively. Click Apply to apply the

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

 UDP: The UDP protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, some

packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured.

 TCP: The TCP protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides

better video quality. However, the real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol.

 HTTP: The HTTP protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate video

display. The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that with the

UDP protocol. By default, the camera is set up with HTTP for both remote and local network.

30

ETN2160/2260/2560

7.1.2.2 Network Setting

You can configure the networking setting on this page. By default, the camera uses DHCP to assign

IP address. Click Apply to apply the changes or Cancel to cancel the changes and return to the

previous settings.

【Network Setting】

Network Type:

 DHCP: This setting lets the camera 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.

31

ETN2160/2260/2560

IP address: Type the IP address.

Subnet mask: Set up the subnet mask for your network, so that the IP camera will be

recognized within the network. Example: 255.255.255.0.

Default router: Type the ro ut e r I P.

Primary DNS server: Type the IP address of the DNS server provided by the ISP.

Secondary DNS server: Type the IP address of the secondary DNS server provided by the ISP.

 PPPoE: This is a DSL-connection application. The ISP will ask the user to input an account name

and password. Contact your ISP for these details.

Note: If PPPoE is selected as the IP type, the supplied IP Utility program will not be able to

detect the camera.

【UPnP Setup】

Select Enable for both UPnP Setup and UPnP port forwarding to enable the UPnP function.

Promoted by the UPnP Forum (Universal Plug and Play), the UPnP is a networking architecture

providing compatibility among networked devices listed in the networked device table. Enable the

UPnP function means you can directly connect the cameras listed in the networked device table by

clicking on them.

Note:

1. For the UPnP function to work, an UPnP-enabled router is required.

2. The UPnP function may fail owing to the compatibility between the camera and the router.

【Port Parameters】

By default, the camera is set up with the following port numbers. In order to support the full

functionality of the camera, you must open the port numbers (84, 443, 554) on the router for

remote access to the IP camera. This function is available on most routers in the market and is

often known as “Port Forwarding”. To set up Port Forwarding, please consult the manual of the

ro ute r.

32

ETN2160/2260/2560

Note: In certain router models, it is possible that you will not be able to access the camera

using DDNS while inside the router’s network. Please try using a PC located outside of your

router’s network.

【RTSP Stream Access Names】

You can transmit the audio/video stream from the IP camera using the RTSP (Real Time Streaming

Protocol) on the network. Type the URL as “rtsp://61.30.125.43/liveN.sdp” for stream 1 and

stream 2. The maximum length of the name is 19 digits.

33

ETN2160/2260/2560

7.1.2.3 DDNS Setting

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

address of a network device. You can set up the DDNS service for remote access to the IP camera.

DDNS 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.

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

DDS service provider’s website. We support two DDNS server providers, which you can see on the

drop-down list of Please select DDNS server.

Note: We highly recommend that you use xxxx.everfocusddns.com for the simplicity of

setting up your IP cameras.

To use EverFocus DDNS server:

1. Apply a free host name from EverFocus DDNS server: Enter the Web page of EverFocus DDNS

server (www.everfocusddns.com). Type a desired host name in the textbox.

2. Click the Check button for the server to check whether the host name is available. If a

message “xxxx is available” shows, it means this host name is available and is registered for

your use.

34

ETN2160/2260/2560

3. Set up the DDNS setting in the DDNS Setting field: Type the host name in the textbox and click

the Apply button.

and click the Enter button. The Live View window of the camera should be displayed.

You can also obtain a free host name if you select ip-discovery.com:

1. Type a desired host name and your e-mail address.

2. Click the Apply button to obtain the free host name.

3. Click the Register button. If the host name has been successfully created, a success message

will be displayed in the DDNS registration result column and also sent to the setup e-mail

address.
