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 outdoor camera at temperatures within -20°C ~ 55°C / -4°F ~ 131°F; this device is not rated as

submersible. The input power source is 24VDC / 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 EPN5210 / EPN5230 IR network speed dome cameras support 10x / 30x optical zoom and dual

streams from H.264. Adopted with a full HD Sony CMOS image sensor along with a weather-proof (IP66)

housing and IR LEDs, the cameras are able to provide up to 2MP sharp and clear real-time images day or

night, rain or shine. The EPN series IR network speed dome cameras meet a wide variety of needs for

outdoor surveillance without blind spots.

Featured with 3D PTZ function, the speed dome cameras allow users to control Zoom In/Out and the

directions more easily. In the 3D PTZ mode, you can simply click and drag to select the desired Zoom

In/Out area, or move to the desired position freely just by a click.

The IR network speed dome cameras provide pan/tilt speed ranging from 240° per second (EPN5210) /

200° per second (EPN5230) to 0.1° per second for accurate monitoring. A maximum of 255 preset

positions can be configured for precise location of target areas. Features like auto pan, tour and patterns

are all provided.

The cameras also features 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 SD card slot is also provided. You can power the camera by connecting the camera to a

24VAC~ / 24VDC power supply or a PoE switch. Since the EPN series IR network speed dome cameras

conform to ONVIF 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.
