Frequently Asked Questions - KPC-N501NUW KT&C

What power supply should I use for the KPC-N501NUW camera?

It is recommended to use a regulated DC12V 1A power supply for best picture quality and stable operation. An unregulated supply may damage the camera and void the warranty.

Can I use both DC12V and AC24V simultaneously?

No, the camera supports dual voltage but you must connect only one power source at a time: either DC12V or AC24V. Simultaneous connection is not allowed.

What is the maximum IR distance?

The camera is equipped with 20 IR LEDs (940nm) and can illuminate up to 25 meters in complete darkness.

How do I access the OSD menu?

Use the joystick on the camera to access the built-in OSD menu. Navigate through options to adjust settings like white balance, shutter, ATR, privacy zones, etc.

Is the camera suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it has an IP66 weatherproof rating, making it resistant to dust and water jets, suitable for outdoor installation.

How do I change the lens focus and zoom?

The camera features external varifocal lens. You can adjust the zoom and focus using the external adjustment rings on the camera body without opening the housing.

What video output does the camera provide?

It provides 1.0 Vp-p composite video on a BNC connector with a 75 Ω impedance. Ensure your monitor is set to 75 Ω for proper operation.

Can I adjust the camera settings without a monitor?

Yes, you can use the OSD joystick to navigate menus and change settings, but a monitor is recommended to see the menu display for precise adjustments.

What is the ATR function?

ATR stands for Adaptive Tone-curve Reproduction, also known as Digital WDR. It improves contrast in scenes with both very bright and dark areas, producing a more balanced image.

How do I clean the camera?

Use a dry cloth to clean the housing. Do not use water or cleaning agents. Never attempt to open the camera; refer servicing to qualified personnel.
