Overview

1.1 Description

The EPH5212 is an HDcctv IP66 speed dome camera equipped with autofocus 12X optical zoom plus 10X useable
digital zoom with true Day/Night capability, DNR to improve image clarity, BLC/HSBLC and EWDR to handle the most
challenging of bright or unbalanced lighting conditions, and DSS to improve low light performance. Based on a 1/2.8”
Sony Exmor R progressive scan 2.1 megapixel CMOS sensor for your choice of HD 1080p or 720p 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.

With conventional PTZ optical zoom only the area in the reduced field of view can be displayed and recorded, often
requiring multiple cameras to achieve coverage of large areas. The ability to employ digital zoom at the DVR to
magnify both live and playback images allows more effective coverage of larger areas by recording the full optical field
of view while concentrating on areas of interest using the DVR’s digital zoom. For example, using a mere 4X digital
zoom at the DVR in place of optical zoom at the PTZ allows the recording of an area 16 times that being analyzed on
screen by systems comprised of EverFocus DVRs and HDcctv cameras.

A full function PTZ speed dome, the EPH5212 features everything you expect from a high quality PTZ: 360° ’endless
pan’ rotation, 180° tilt with digital auto-flip, 210 preset positions, 8 auto scan zones, 6 patterns, 8 tours (consisting of
presets, patterns and scans), 4 NO/NC alarm input triggers, a ‘form C’ alarm output, speed proportional to zoom ratio,
motion detection, privacy masking (up to 8 areas) flexible programming of functions and alarm actions, mutli-language
support, built-in heater for operation down to -40° and much more, in a compact package only 6.6” in diameter and
weighing only 7.7 pounds (PTZ module plus wall arm).

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. The EPH5212 responds to conventional RS-485 control signals formatted in EVF­1, Pelco P or Pelco D protocol. For convenience, a full time analog video output is also provided. The EPH5212
delivers flexible, robust coverage in a wide range of demanding surveillance environments while delivering stunning
HD image quality.

1.4 Termination Settings [SW303: Refer to 2.4 Dome Camera Settings]

To prevent malfunctions and/or interference with communication signals between the camera and controller, the
domes (shaded with gray color) at the end of line must have their terminations set to ON. All other domes in the
“chain” should have their terminations set to OFF.

2.2 Base Installation

- Make holes for mounting and cable hole on the wall where the dome camera is

to be installed. Attach the arm firmly with the supplied mounting screws (4) or

other means which will secure the unit properly to resist wind and snow/ice

loading.

- After mounting the arm, clip the safety cable to the arm, pass the video and

other wires through the arm; there is an access port in the arm if connections will

be made at that point. Insert the dome housing into the arm, rotate ¼ turn CW to lock, then secure with the set screw.

- Remove any packing foam inside the PTZ module, verify switch settings, then lock the housing cover with torx

screws (3).

2.3 Connection Interface and Wiring cables

*Caution

Do not connect the power cable until all other connections have been completed.

Be sure to remove the shipping foam ring and sheet before connecting the power to the dome camera.

2.3.1 Connecting the RS-485 lines

The dome camera can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system such as a controller using

RS-485 half duplexer (RS-485 Connection). For connecting multiple ‘home run’ PTZ cameras, use the EDA997A

Data Distributor.

2.3.2 Connecting Video Jack

Connect the ‘silver’ video Jack (BNC connector) to the video input of the HDcctv DVR or other HDcctv device.

(Optional) Connect the ‘yellow’ video to an analog monitor or other analog video equipment.

2.3.3 Connecting Alarms

Alarm In: You can use external devices to trigger the dome camera to react to events. Mechanical or electrical

switches can be wired to the AIarm Input and Ground pins

Alarm Out: The dome camera can activate external devices such as buzzer. Connect the device to NO (or NC) and

COM pins.

2.3.4 Connecting the power

Connect the power jack of AC24V adaptor to the dome camera.

2.4 Setting RS-485 Parameters

The device can communicate with external controllers and DVRs by setting the Rotary switches and Dip switches.

Refer to the tables below for setting the dome camera ID and protocol. Total length of the cable for communication

should not exceed 1km.

2.4.1 Setting the address (ID) of dome camera

To prevent incorrect operation or malfunction, each dome camera must have a unique address (ID).

The default setting is 0. This corresponds to EVF-1 & Pelco-P ID 00 and Pelco-D ID 01.
