Overview
The SD9394-EHL is the latest professional speed dome camera from VIVOTEK, specifically
designed to enhance low light surveillance in large coverage areas. Equipped with 200 M IR
illuminators and a 32x optical zoom lens, the camera provides a superb low light image in the
most challenging situations. .
The camera is the rst PTZ surveillance camera with IR Illumination to utilize H.265 compression
technology. When combined with VIVOTEK's Smart Stream III technology, users can obtain
bandwidth savings of up to 80% compared to traditional H.264. By combining 5MP resolution
with H.265, IR illuminators, VAIR, WDR, and 32x optical zoom, the camera is able to capture
fine details at top-notch quality, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The camera comes with an
IP66- and NEMA 4X-rated housing that protects against rain, dust, and corrosion. The camera
features a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 55°C, ensuring continuous operation
under the most extreme weather conditions and hazardous environments. This makes the
camera ideally suited to monitor wide open spaces such as ports, highways, cities, and parking
lots where high-level precision is required.
As with all VIVOTEK true day/night cameras, the camera features a removable IR-cut filter,
maintaining clear images 24 hours a day. Audio detection is included by recognizing changes in
ambient noise. The camera also includes a SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot and supports up to 60 fps
in 1080P resolution.

NOTE:
Camera Hardware Preventative Maintenance:
1. Visual inspection of all major components including accessories, cabling and connections
where accessible for signs of deterioration or damage.
2. Check and clean cameras, lenses and housings inside and out as needed.
• Please do not scratch, damage, or leave fingerprints on the dome/front cover and/or lens
because this may decrease image quality.
• For general cleaning of dirty areas, it is suggested to use compressed air to remove dust
and/or other debris in order not to damage the on-board components.
• In order to clean oil stains, it is recommended to use a spray-type decomposing cleaner
(absolutely avoid reciprocating wipes on the surface). After the oil has decomposed, spray
it with water, dry with air, and/or absorb water with a cotton cloth or a soft cloth (dab, please
avoid wiping).
• Do not use harsh detergents, gasoline, benzene or acetone, etc. to clean as they may
deform or cause damage to the product. Also, excessive cleaning could damage the surface.
3. Check images for correct eld of view (pan, tilt and zoom focus) and adjust as necessary.
4. Check and replace the Micro SD memory card as needed.
• Stop edge recording before removing the Micro SD memory card.
• Make sure that the Micro SD memory card is right side up and do not insert it with force,
otherwise it may be damaged.
• When it is raining or the humidity is high, insertion or ejection of the Micro SD memory card
is not recommended.
5. Disassembly of the dome/front cover carries the risk of internal dew condensation, so please
remember to replace the desiccant bags on the inside of the cameras before reassembly.
6. Check that the camera view has not been blocked by obstacles and that you can see the
property perimeter clearly.
7. Make sure the interiors of cameras and accessories, like mounting kits and/or enclosures,
are clean and dry.
8. Make sure cameras are securely attached to the wall/ceiling/mounting kits.
IMPORTANT:
1. Please contact VIVOTEK's certied dealers for power adapters.
2. Installation and maintenance service should only be performed by qualied technicians.
3. If powered by a power adapter, the adapter should be properly grounded.
4. The power cord must be connected to a socket or outlet with a ground connection.
