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 -10°C ~ 50°C / 14°F ~ 122°F, 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 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 EZN268 is a 2-megapixel outdoor mini bullet IP camera, providing 30 fps at 1920 x 1080 viewing
resolution. The camera supports dual streams from H.264 and MJPEG video compression formats.
Equipped with weather-resistance (IP66) housing plus 30 IR LEDs for enabling the night visibility of up to 30
meters, the camera meets a wide variety of needs for outdoor surveillance. Power over Ethernet (IEEE
802.3af) supplies power to the camera via the network for easy installation with only one cable,
eliminating the need for power cables and reducing installation costs. EZN268 conforms to ONVIF / PSIA
for compatibility with other network video devices – even from other manufacturers. 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.
System Requirement
Before installing, please check that your computer meets these system requirements.
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP / Vista (32-bit) / 7 (32-bit)
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or above
Note: For using the Internet Explorer, some settings are required. Please refer to 5.2 Settings for
