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 -10°C ~ 50°C / 14°F ~ 122°F, and humidity between 0% and
90%; 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.

Value IP 288 / 368 / 468 Series
1. Introduction
The Value IP 2-megapixel 288 / 3-megapixel 368 / 4-megapixel 468 series H.265 Outdoor IP camera
provides 30fps at 1920 x 1080 / 2048 x 1536 / 2592 x 1520 viewing resolution. The series supports dual
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 True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) 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.
Featured with a motorized zoom lens, EDN288M/368M/468M; EZN288M/368M/EZN468M can provide the
desired field of view with superior video quality in precise focus. Equipped with a weather-proof (IP66)
housing, the Value IP 288 / 368 / 468 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 288 / 368 / 468 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.
Types of Models
The Value IP camera provides two types: Standard type and Economic type. The Standard type models
provide full functionality; while the Economic type models provide basic functionality.

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 Appendix E. Setting up DDNS Function.
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:

10. Troubleshooting
Low Frame Rate
If the frame rate is lower than expected, follow the steps below to fix the problem.
1. Reduce the number of applications running on your PC.
2. Limit the number of users that access camera live view.
3. Check whether the network bandwidth is sufficient.
4. Lower the video resolution.
5. Lower the camera Bit Rate by configuring Constant Bit Rate or Variable Bit Rate (see 7.2.1 Streaming
and Audio).
Appendix
A. Enabling the Multicast Function
The Multicast Function is a technique for one-to-many communication over an IP infrastructure in a
network that is designed to share IP camera loading and reduce network bandwidth. Note that for this
function to work, the router / switch must support multicast function.
To enable the Multicast Function:
1. Complete the installation of the IP cameras, routers / switches and computers (refer to diagram above).
2. Access to the Web UI of the IP camera to enable the Multicast function. Click the Save button to save
the setting. (System > System Settings > Network > Multicast Settings > Enable Multicast)
77
Page 84
Value IP 288 / 368 / 468 Series
3. Go to the setting page of the router / switch to enable the Multicast function.
Here we use a D-Link DIR655 router and EverFocus 24-port switch for example.
4. The Multicast function setup is now complete.

If you have difficulty getting the live view image, please reduce the number of clients accessing the
B. RTSP URL Syntax
Following is the RTSP URL syntax of EverFocus’ IP cameras.
rtsp://[device-ip-address]/ch1_[main]
* [device-ip-address] is the IP address of the IP camera
* [main] is for Main Stream; [sub] is for Sub Stream
For example, if the IP address of the IP camera is 192.168.37.55, the RTSP URL (main stream / sub stream)
of this IP camera will be:
Main Stream:
rtsp://192.168.37.55/ch1_main
Sub Stream:
rtsp://192.168.37.55/ch1_sub
Note:
IP camera.

C. Setting up Port Forwarding Function
IP Camera port forwarding can be used when users need to access a certain IP camera from outside of the
local network where the IP camera is connected to.
To enable the IP camera port forwarding function, you have to configure the port forwarding settings both
on the IP camera and the router (UPnP-enabled). Please follow the steps below:
1. Go to System > System Settings > Network > IP Settings.
a. Set up a static IP for the IP camera. Type in the subnet mask, gateway and the DNS if provided
by the Internet Service Provider.
b. Enter the port numbers and check the Enable UPnP box to enable the port forwarding function.
Click the Save button.
The default ports of all EverFocus’ IP cameras are as below. You can change the port numbers if
necessary. Be sure the port numbers setup on the router match the ones setup here.
HTTP: 80

Enter the IP address of the IP camera
Enter the HTTP/HTTPS/RTSP port
numbers of the IP camera
HTTPS: 443
RTSP: 554
2. Set up the port forwarding settings on the router. Here we use D-Link’s router for example.
Please be noted that each router may look different in some ways, however, the concept of the
port forwarding setting is the same. For more details, please consult the manual of your router.
3. Open a browser and type in the IP address of the router, now you are able to access the IP camera
from the Internet.

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.
Note: If you enable the Port Forwarding of your router, the Enable UPnP Port Forwarding function
must be enabled on the IP camera (see Port Settings field in the Step 2 image).
82
Page 89
Value IP 288 / 368 / 468 Series
2. On the Network Setting page (Setting > System Settings > Network > IP Settings), configure the IP
Settings, keep the default Port Settings and then click the Save button.
If Static IP is selected: Enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and the DNS Server.
Please consult with your ISP service provider for the information of subnet mask, default gateway
and the DNS Server.
If DHCP is selected: The IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and the DNS Server will be
assigned automatically by DHCP server.
If Enable PPPoE is selected: Enter the User Name (e.g. xxxx@hinet.net) and Password provided by
your ISP service provider.

3. In the DDNS Settings field (Setting > System Settings > Network > DDNS Settings), register a free host
name from EverFocus DDNS and then click the Save button.
a. Check Enable DDNS to enable the DDNS function.
b. Select www.everfocusddns.com and enter a desired host name in the Domain field.
Note: The host name should not include a space, or a dot (period) or any special characters
particularly _~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + < > " ; : . ,
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.
