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.
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 and avoid facing the camera toward the sun.
In some circumstances, direct sunlight may cause permanent damage to the sensor and/or internal
circuits.
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 hands or touching the power cord with wet hands may result in electric
shock.
5. Never install the camera in areas exposed to water, oil or gas.
Water, oil or gas may result in equipment failure, electric shock or, in extreme cases, fire.
6. Cleaning
Do not touch the surface of the sensor directly with the hands. Use a damp soft cloth to remove any
dirt from the camera body. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator and ethanol to clean the sensor
and the camera lens. Please do not use complex solvents, corrosive or abrasive agents for cleaning.
7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings.

1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The EDH5240 is an HD-CCTV 3-axis indoor dome camera with true Day/Night capability plus IR
illumination, in a housing which can be surface or flush mounted. Based on a 2 megapixel progressive
scan sensor for your choice of 1080 or 720 resolution HD 100% digital images, it delivers vastly superior
video quality compared to traditional CCTV images. This superior resolution not only captures more
critical evidentiary information, but the inherent ability for megapixel video to zoom with clarity to 4X or
more improves and extends the area of coverage, expedites completion of investigations, resolves
complaints and reduces both capital and operational costs.
No major upgrade to the IT network is required to deploy this powerful technology; HD-CCTV cameras
communicate at digital speeds up to 1.5Gb/s over existing or new coaxial cable (RG59 or other types
for longer distances), using industry standard BNC connectors. With a vari-focal 3.3~10mm megapixel
auto iris lens, combined with high output IR LEDs to produce detailed images under low or no light
conditions out to a range of 20m/65 feet or more, the EDH5240 easily accommodates a wide range of
indoor applications while delivering stunning image quality.
