User Manual
Please read this manual first to ensure correct installation and operation. This manual should be
retained for future reference. The information in this manual was current when published. The
manufacturer reserves the right to revise and improve its products. All specifications are
therefore subject to change without notice.
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, because the electromagnetic fields generated by these devices may
distort the video image or otherwise interfere with camera functions.
2. Never disassemble the camera beyond the recommendations in this manual, nor apply
materials to it other than those recommended herein.
Improper disassembly or introduction of corrosive materials may result in equipment failure
or other damage.
3. Try to avoid pointing the camera toward the sun.
In some circumstances, direct sunlight may cause permanent damage to the sensor and/or
internal circuits. It may also create unbalanced illumination that may be beyond the camera’s
ability to compensate.
4. Keep the power cable away from water and other liquids. Never touch the power cable
with wet hands.
Touching a wet power cable with your hands or touching the power cable 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 cause 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 your 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.
Do not use complex solvents, or corrosive or abrasive agents to clean any part of the camera.
7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity and power source
levels. This camera is suitable for indoor and outdoor operation only.
Use the camera at temperatures between -40°C~50°C (-40°F~122°F) in an IP66 complaint
environment.This device is not rated as submersible. The input power source should be
12VDC or 24VAC. The use of a properly fused or “Class 2 Limited Power Source” power
supply is highly recommended.
8. Mounting
Select a solid mounting surface that will support the weight of the camera and any
additional loading from wind, snow, ice or other factors. Securely attach the camera to the
mounting surface using screws and anchors that will properly support the camera. If
necessary, (e.g. when mounting the camera to a drop ceiling, or unsupported ceiling) use a
safety wire to provide additional support for the camera.

1. INTRODUCTION
The EZH5242 is an HDcctv outdoor IR bullet camera with true Day/Night capability in an IP66
vandal resistant housing. Based on a 1/3” Panasonic 2.1 megapixel progressive scan sensor and
2.8~10mm varifocal megapixel lens for HD 1080p resolution 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 also extends the area of coverage, expedites completion of investigations, resolves
complaints and reduces both capital and operational costs. Designed with 44 long lifespan IR
LEDs, the EZH5242 can capture images at up to 84m /275 feet in low or no light environments.
This highly advanced imaging system also incorporates the following state of the art optical
enhancement technologies:
•EverFocus Tone Reproduction (ETR):Electronically balances lighting in challenging or
unbalanced lighting conditions.
•Lens Shading Compensation (LSC): Compensates to eliminate artificial shadows caused by
attenuation of light as it traverses the outer portions of the lens.
•EverFocus Enhanced Contrast Technology (EFECT): Dramatically improves imaging in
reduced visibility conditions, cutting through smoke and fog that would blind other camera
systems.
•Polestar SENS-UP light low enhancement for full motion color in low light conditions
without ghosting combines with EverFocus Adaptive Luminance Compensated Optimized
Noise Reduction (EFALCONR)to maximize image luminance and clarity while conserving
DVR disk storage space.
•Digital zoom with electronic PTZ to fine tune field of view.
•Image flip and rotate.
No major upgrade to the IT network is required to deploy this powerful technology; HDcctv
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 its 3-axis
positioning, varifocal 2.8~10mm megapixel auto iris lens, IP66 operation down to -40 degrees
and easy mounting to a 4” electrical box, 1” conduit or directly to any flat surface the EZH5242
delivers flexible, robust coverage in a wide range of demanding surveillance environments
while delivering stunning HD image quality.

3. INSTALLATION
Steps:
1. Wire and mount the camera. See 3.1
2. Adjust the camera position. See 3.2
Warning
To prevent electrical shock, turn off the electrical power before making electrical connections.
3.1 WIRING AND MOUNTING
1. Use the template and an appropriate tool to drill 4 holes to attach the Speedy-mount ring.
(Note: If the wires from the camera will be routed on the surface, use a pliers or other suitable tool
to grasp the filler closing the surface wire slot and twist to remove the filler to open the wire slot.
If the wires will be routed through the rear of the camera leave the surface wire slot filler in place.)
2. Push the plastic anchors into the 4 holes.
3. Place the Speedy-mount ring against the anchoring surface so that the holes line up. Insert the four
long screws and tighten them firmly.
