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.

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.

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.
