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 -20°C~55°C/-4°F~131°F, and humidity between 20% and 85%; this device is not rated as submersible. The input power source is 12 VDC / 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.

EZN1160/1260/1360

1.Introduction

The EZN series small bullet, a small form-factor outdoor bullet IP camera, comes with three models, 1.3 MP, 2 MP and 3 MP, providing up to 15 fps at 2048 x 1536 viewing resolution. The series supports quad streams from H.264, MPEG4 or MJPEG video compression formats. Equipped with a weather-resistant (IP66) housing plus eight IR LEDs for enabling the night visibility of up to 20 meters, the cameras meet a wide variety of needs for outdoor surveillance.

The EZN series small bullet IP camera features the 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 SDHC card slot and Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af) features are also provided. You can power the camera over the network or by connecting the camera to a 12 VDC / 24 VAC power supply. Since the series conforms to ONVIF / PSIA 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. The EZN series small bullet IP camera is the ideal solution for your outdoor surveillance needs.

5.3Connecting 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 7.1.1 Network (DDNS Settings). To set up port forwarding, please consult the manual of the router.

Straight-through LAN patch cable

Right: Pinout of a straight-through cable.

15

EZN1160/1260/1360

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

7.1.1 Network (DDNS Settings).

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:

Right: Pinout of a crossed-over cable.
