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 (12 VDC) or -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 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 EZN series bullet IP camera comes with two models: 2 MP and 3 MP, providing up to 30 fps at
2048 x 1536 viewing resolution. Equipped with an auto focus 10x optical zoom lens, the series can provide
the desired field of view with superior video quality in precision focus.
The EZN series supports quad streams from H.264, MPEG4 or MJPEG. Featured with a weather-resistant
(IP66) housing plus 12 IR LEDs for enabling the night visibility of up to 40 meters, the cameras meet a wide
variety of needs for outdoor surveillance.
The EZN series 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 (IEEE802.3at Class 4) 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 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 bullet IP camera is the
ideal solution for your outdoor surveillance needs.

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). To set up port forwarding, please
consult the manual of the router.
