• High-resolution imaging that captures up to 2560 x 1920 pixels with precise color and exceptional detail, enabling clear identification and scene analysis even in expansive monitoring zones. The 5 MP CMOS sensor delivers excellent sharpness and low noise across varying lighting conditions, making it ideal for entrances, lobbies, parking areas, and campuses. With true day/night capability, the camera automatically heats up its sensitivity when light drops, preserving color accuracy at dusk and grayscale detail in darkness. The result is dependable, high-fidelity footage that supports forensic investigations and rapid incident response, while remaining cost-effective and power-efficient compared to older CCD technologies.
• Advanced image enhancement features such as Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and sophisticated exposure control help balance opposing lighting, from bright storefronts to deep shadows. This camera maintains subject visibility and scene detail even when sun glare or backlighting would typically wash out critical information. In addition, low-light performance is optimized for smooth video with reduced motion blur, ensuring steady streams during nighttime or transitional lighting. The combination of WDR and low-light optimization makes the ETN2560/4 a versatile choice for indoor and outdoor surveillance across varying times of day.
• Flexible deployment for indoor and outdoor use with a discreet dome form factor that blends into most environments. The ETN2560/4 is designed to work across a broad range of installation scenarios, from retail halls to campus corridors to exterior perimeters (with appropriate housing and protection). Its compact footprint helps preserve sight lines while delivering robust imaging and reliable performance. The dome design also provides a clean, tamper-protected appearance that reduces vandalism risk and keeps the camera discreet in sensitive areas. This flexibility makes it easy to scale a security system as needs evolve without changing existing infrastructure.
• Intelligent network features and efficiency ensure smooth operation in modern IP ecosystems. The camera supports common compression formats (such as H.264/H.265) and multiple streaming profiles to balance bandwidth usage with image quality. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support simplifies cabling by delivering power and data over a single Ethernet connection, reducing installation time and clutter. Strong compatibility with ONVIF standards enables seamless integration with a wide range of NVRs and security software, while remote configuration and firmware updates keep your system current without costly site visits.
• Resilient design with practical security essentials include tamper resistance, reliable long-term operation, and comprehensive surveillance coverage for everyday security needs. The ETN2560/4 is built to perform consistently under demanding conditions, offering stable performance that supports continuous monitoring, incident response, and post-event analysis. With smart features like motion detection, privacy masking, and configurable alerts, you can tailor the camera’s behavior to your site’s risk profile. By combining high-resolution imaging with practical management tools, this camera helps businesses and organizations maintain a secure environment while optimizing resources and response times.

How to Install EverFocus ETN2560/4

• Plan your camera placement by surveying the site for coverage gaps, lighting conditions, and potential blind spots. Consider entry points, cash handling zones, parking areas, and high-traffic corridors. Take note of ambient light sources and reflections that could affect image quality, and decide whether true day/night operation or infrared night vision will be most beneficial for the location.
• Prepare the mounting surface and hardware. Use the provided bracket or an approved ceiling mount, ensuring the surface is sturdy and capable of supporting the dome. If mounting outdoors, verify that you have the appropriate weatherproof housing and seals to protect the camera from moisture, dust, and temperature variations. Route the network and power cables neatly, using conduit or cable management clips to avoid accidental disconnections.
• Connect power and network. If you’re using PoE, connect the Ethernet cable to a PoE-enabled switch or injector and the camera’s port. If not, supply power via a compatible DC or AC adapter as specified by the installation manual. Power up and verify basic connectivity by pinging the camera's IP address or viewing it through your NVR/management software.
• Configure core settings. Access the camera’s web interface or your NVR/management platform to set the IP address (static recommended for fixed deployments), enable Day/Night mode, adjust exposure and WDR, set frame rate and resolution, and enable motion detection if required. Update firmware to the latest version and enable ONVIF compatibility for seamless integration with other devices in your security ecosystem.
• Fine-tune optics and coverage. Adjust the lens focus and zoom to capture the desired scene and ensure critical areas are within frame. Calibrate brightness, contrast, white balance, and gain for the most natural color rendering. Set privacy masks for sensitive areas and configure alert rules, such as motion-triggered recording and email or push notifications for rapid incident response. Test playback across different times of day and verify that remote access, mobile viewing, and playback on your NVR are functioning as expected.
