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

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 -20°C ~ 50°C / -4°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 marine-grade (AISI 316) stainless steel network cameras come with two types, Dome and Bullet,
providing resolution up to 4-megapixel (2592 x 1520). The stainless steel series supports dual streams from
H.265 and H.264 video compression formats.
Featured with a motorized zoom lens, the series can provide the desired field of view with superior video
quality in precise focus. Equipped with a weather-proof (IP66) and vandal resistance (IK10) housing, the
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 stainless steel 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.
