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.
