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 camera at temperatures within -40°C ~ 55°C / -40°F ~ 131°F (12VDC); -20°C ~ 55°C / -4°F ~
131°F (PoE) , and humidity between 20% and 80%; this device is not rated as submersible. The input
power source is 12VDC / 24VAC~ / 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.
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 POLESTAR Series outdoor bullet-type IP camera deliveries image quality of up to 3 MP. Equipped with
an auto focus lens, the IP camera can provide the desired field of view with superior video quality in
precision focus. Adopted with a Sony 1/2.8” CMOS image sensor, the high sensitivity characteristics
enables the IP camera to perform clear color images with less image noise even in the starlight or
moonlight environment. Equipped with a P-Iris, the IP cameras are capable of controlling the best iris
position automatically and precisely in varying lighting conditions, expanding the focus area of the images
and meanwhile improve the image sharpness. The IP camera also supports dual streams from H.265, H.264
or MJPEG compression formats.
The POLESTAR Series outdoor bullet-type IP camera has a built-in micro SDHC card slot. Except 12VDC and
24VAC~ power supply, the IP camera also supports Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af). Featured with a
weather-resistant (IP66) housing, the cameras meet a wide variety of needs for outdoor surveillance.
The POLESTAR Series outdoor bullet-type IP camera 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.

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. 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 refer to
Appendix D. Setting up Port Forwarding Function.

Right: Pinout of a crossed-over cable.
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:

only for one-minute video recording and the recordings will be saved at C:\EverFocus\. To change
the recording time, see File Size in 7.1.3 Storage. To change the location, see Record to PC in 7.1.3
Storage. To record long-period recordings, please set up a recording schedule (see Schedule
Settings in 7.3.2. Event). To ch ange the source video stream, use the Video Stream drop-down list
on the Live View Window. To c h ange the recording format, see Recording and Snapshot Settings in
7.1.3 Storage.
Note: For Microsoft IE10 and above users, some settings have to be complete to enable this
function (see B. Snapshot/Record error message in 10. Troubleshooting).
5. Audio / Microphone
Click the Audio and Microphone buttons to switch the sound on / off for the speakers and
