Camera Overview

The MegaVideo® G5 multi-megapixel, indoor camera series delivers 1.2-, 1080p, 3-, 5-, or 10­megapixel resolutions (lens sold separately). Regardless of time-of-day, this camera is ideal for
applications with challenging lighting conditions. The series combines a day/night mechanical cut filter
with an optional P-iris lens for precise, optimal image quality.

For applications with poor lighting conditions due to strong backlighting, reflections from wet
flooring/puddles, or contrast due to fog, mist, or glare, optional wide dynamic range is available on
some 1080p and 3MP models. 1080p models provide 30 images-per-second for optimum performance
in fast action scenes such as casino and banking applications. For challenging low-light applications,
the 1.2MP STELLAR model offers best-in-class light sensitivity capturing details in extreme low-light
(0.002 lux in monochrome) at an incredibly high frame rate of 37 frames per second.

The SD card slot supports up to 32GB of storage capacity for convenient onboard storage. Motorized
remote focus/zoom lens makes set-up and maintenance easy. The camera’s power can be supplied via
a Power-over-Ethernet compliant network cable connection or with power from 12-48V DC/24V AC
power supplies. The camera's interface allows for an intuitive, fast and easy configuration. The
MegaVideo® G5 is ONVIF Profile S (Open Network Video Interface Forum) and PSIA (Physical
Security Interoperability Alliance) compliant, providing interoperability between network video products
regardless of manufacturer.

System Requirements

Computer with Windows XP/Vista/7 operating system, network access, and Microsoft Internet Explorer
web browser version 9.0 or later (32-bit).

Installing the Lens

1. Remove the sensor protection cap from the camera (if present).

2. Screw the lens onto the camera in a clockwise rotation. For CS mount lenses, use the adapter
ring to attach the C-mount lens if required. NOTE: No C/CS adapter is required for remote focus
/ remote zoom lenses.

3. To remove the lens, manually turn the lens in a counter clockwise rotation.
