Frequently Asked Questions - KEZ-C2TR28V12XIR KT&C

How do I access the OSD menu of the KEZ-C2TR28V12XIR camera?

The OSD menu is only accessible via the HD-TVI connection using Up-the-Cable (UTC) control from a compatible EZHD DVR. Set the PTZ protocol to HDCAM-C in the DVR settings, then use the IRIS+ button to open the menu. Navigate with direction buttons.

What power supply is required for this camera?

The camera requires a 12 VDC power supply that meets SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and Limited Power Source requirements per IEC60950-1. Ensure correct polarity to avoid damage.

Can I use the CVBS output simultaneously with the HD-TVI output?

Yes, but only one at a time for full functionality. When True WDR is active, CVBS output and digital zoom are disabled. To use a CVBS test monitor, connect the bare wires of the switch cable to temporarily disable True WDR.

How do I focus the camera using Smart Focus?

While viewing the image on a test monitor or DVR, access the Smart Focus option in the OSD menu. An on-screen numeric value appears; adjust the lens focus ring to maximize that number for optimal sharpness. Dismiss the readout using the PTZ controls.

How to enable True WDR on the camera?

True WDR can be controlled via the switch cable (bare wires). If WDR is OFF, connecting the wires turns it ON; if ON, connecting turns it OFF. Alternatively, enable Digital WDR in the OSD menu under EXPOSURE > D-WDR for full-time CVBS output.

Is the camera suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the camera has an IP66 weatherproof rating, making it suitable for outdoor installation. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough and avoid reflective surfaces too close to prevent IR reflection.

How do I reset the camera to factory default settings?

In the OSD menu, navigate to SETUP > RESET and confirm. This restores all settings to default values.

How do I set up a privacy mask?

Go to SETUP > SPECIAL > Privacy in the OSD menu. Select an area number, set DISPLAY to INV, MOSAIC, COLOR, or OFF, then define the position and size using direction buttons.

What is the maximum IR range of the Super Beam IR?

The Super Beam IR provides powerful infrared illumination for nighttime surveillance. While the exact distance is not specified, typical turret cameras with similar IR LEDs offer ranges of 30–50 meters. Actual range depends on scene conditions.

Can I use the camera without an HD-TVI DVR?

The camera can output CVBS (standard analog) video via the black BNC connector for connection to analog monitors or DVRs. However, the OSD menu and UTC control require an HD-TVI connection to an EZHD DVR.
