Regulatory Notices
FCC Notice "Declaration of Conformity Information"
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning: Changes or modifications made to this equipment, not expressly approved by EverFocus or
parties authorized by EverFocus could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Value IP Series camera complies with CE and FCC.
i
Precautions
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.
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.
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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings.
Use the camera at temperatures within -30°C ~ 55°C / -22°F ~ 131°F, and humidity 95%; this device
is not rated as submersible. The input power source is 12VDC / 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 3 power limited
type supplies is highly recommended.
5. 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.

Compact-Sized Value IP Cameras – H265, 2MP / 5MP / 8MP
1. Introduction
The compact-sized Value IP series H.265 Outdoor IP camera provides 30fps at 2MP / 5MP / 8MP (4K)
viewing resolution. The series comes with 3.6mm fixed lens and supports triple streams from H.265 or
H.264 video compression formats. In same resolution, the H.265 provides higher compression efficiency
and lower bitrate comparing with H.264 codec, allowing more efficient bandwidth and data storage usage.
The Wide Dynamic Range function on the other hand enables the IP camera to provide clear images even
under back light circumstances where intensity of illumination can vary excessively.
Equipped with an IP66 weather-proof housing, the Value IP series meets a wide variety of needs for
outdoor surveillance. Except 12VDC power supply, the series also supports Power over Ethernet (IEEE
802.3af), which eliminates the need for power cables and thus reduce the installation costs.
The Value IP series conforms to ONVIF for compatibility with other network video devices. You can also use
EverFocus Mobile applications to remotely view the live views of the cameras through your iOS or android
handheld devices; or use EverFocus CMS to remotely manage multiple IP devices connected on the
network.

4 Accessing the Camera

This section explains how to access the Web interface of the camera for configuration.
4.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address
You can look up the IP address of the IP camera using the IP Utility (IPU) program, which is included in the
software CD. The IP Utility can also be downloaded from EverFocus’ Website (Support > Download >
Keyword Search: IP Utility): http://www.everfocus.com.tw/download/
Please connect the IP camera on the same LAN of your computer.
1. Save IP Utility Setup .exe in your computer. Double click the .exe file and follow the on-screen
instructions to install the IP Utility.
2. Click the Finish button, the IP Utility will be automatically launched to search the IP devices connected
on the same LAN.
Note: The default IP mode of the IP camera is DHCP. However, if there is no dynamic IP address
assigned to the device, its IP will switch to 192.168.0.10

4.2 Settings for Microsoft Internet Explorer
If you have difficulties viewing live view or upgrading firmware, it is suggested to complete the following
settings of your computer.
1. If your PC or laptop is running with Windows, it’s required to run the browser as administrator when
first entering the camera live view. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer, right-click the
browser and then click Run as administrator.
2. You may need to turn off the firewall and turn User Account Control off if you still can’t see the
camera Live View.
To turn User Account Control off, on the computer, click Start > Control Panel > System and
Security > Action Center (click Change User Account Control Settings), the User Account Control
Settings window appears. Adjust the slide bar to Never Notify and then click OK. Restart your

4.3 Connecting the Camera to the Network
There are three methods to connect the IP camera to the network: Router or LAN Connection,
One-to-One Connection and Direct High-Speed 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.
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:

Straight Through Cable
High-speed modem
Internet
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.
