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
-20°C~55°C/-4°F~131°F, and humidity between 20% and 85%; this device is not rated as submersible.
The input power source is 12 VDC / 24 VAC / 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 small bullet, a small form-factor outdoor bullet IP camera, comes with three models, 1.3 MP,
2 MP and 3 MP, providing up to 15 fps at 2048 x 1536 viewing resolution. The series supports quad streams
from H.264, MPEG4 or MJPEG video compression formats. Equipped with a weather-resistant (IP66) housing
plus eight IR LEDs for enabling the night visibility of up to 20 meters, the cameras meet a wide variety of
needs for outdoor surveillance.
The EZN series small 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 (IEEE802.3af) features are also provided. You can
power the camera over the network or by connecting the camera to a 12 VDC / 24 VAC 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 small bullet IP camera is the
ideal solution for your outdoor surveillance needs.
