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.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.

1. Introduction
The EDN Series IP camera is a palm-sized mini dome that comes with three models, 1 MP, 2 MP and 5 MP,
providing up to 10fps at 2560 x 1920 viewing resolution. The cameras support dual streams from H.264,
MJPEG or MPEG4. Equipped with 19 IR LEDs, the EDN series cameras can support the night visibility of up to
10 meters.
The EDN series cameras are small yet versatile and powerful. With the true Day/Night functionality
benefited from auto IR-cut filter, the cameras can deliver high-clarity images in lowlight or nighttime
conditions. Coupled with the Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function to overcome extreme lighting conditions,
the cameras are able to offer optimized quality images during the day. A built-in micro SDHC card slot and
Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af Class 3) features are also provided. You can power the camera over the
network or by connecting the camera to a 12 VDC power supply.
Since the EDN 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 monitor the live views of the cameras through your handheld devices; or use
EverFocus CMS to remotely manage multiple IP devices connected on the network. With all the above
advantages plus the simple and flat user interface design, the EDN series brings out the clarity and usability
in your surveillance system.
