Frequently Asked Questions - EM500NHP3 EverFocus

What type of lens does the EM500NHP3 use?

The EM500NHP3 uses a flat pinhole lens with manual zoom (f=4.0~9.0mm).

What is the power requirement for this camera?

It requires 12 VDC or 24 VAC power supply. Ensure sufficient current (max 3.5W). Polarity: white stripe positive, solid black negative for DC.

How do I connect the power and video cables?

Connect the power/video cable to the camera's power/video port. For video, use the BNC connector to a monitor. For power, connect a 12VDC adapter (male pigtail) to the camera's female connector, observing polarity.

Why is the picture horizontal or upside down?

If the picture is horizontal, the camera module may need to be rotated depending on mounting orientation (wall or ceiling). Remove the camera and rotate it as needed.

What should I do if there is no power?

Check that the power supply provides sufficient current (amperage). Refer to the spec sheet for power consumption. Ensure the polarity is correct (white stripe positive, solid black negative).

How do I clean the camera lens and sensor?

Use a soft cloth for the body. For the sensor and lens, use lens tissue or a cotton swab with ethanol. Do not touch the sensor with fingers.

Can I install the camera outdoors?

The manual warns against installing in areas exposed to water, oil, or gas. It is intended for indoor use with temperature 0-40°C and humidity 20-80%.

What is the video output type?

The video output is BNC (1.0Vp-p, 75 ohms) in NTSC format.

How do I mount the camera?

First, secure the mounting bracket to the surface using the included screws. Then attach the camera to the bracket, ensuring the power/video connector is on the bottom for correct orientation. Secure with fixing screws.

What is the low light performance?

The camera has a sensitivity of 1.0 Lux at F=1.2, allowing clear color images in low light conditions.

Operation Instructions

Model No. EM500NH P1, P3, P4

Please read this manual first for correct installation and operation. This manual should be retained for future reference. The information in this manual was current when published. The manufacturer reserves the right to revise and improve its products. All specifications are therefore subject to change without notice.

PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not install the camera near electric or magnetic fields.

Install the camera away from TV, radio transmitter, magnet, electric motor, transformer, audio speakers since the magnetic fields generate from above devices will distort the video images.

1. Never disassemble the camera nor put impurities in it.

Disassembly or impurities may result in trouble or fire.

1. Never face the camera toward the sun.

Direct sunlight or severe ray may cause fatal damage to sensor and internal circuit.

1. Keep the power cord away from water and liquid.

Touching the wet power cord may result in electric shock.

1. Never install the camera in areas exposed to water, oil or gas.

Water, oil or gas may result in failure, electric shock or fire.

1. Cleaning

Do not touch the surface of sensor by hand directly. Use a soft cloth to remove the dirt from the camera body. Use lens tissue or a cotton swab and ethanol to clean the sensor and the camera lens.

7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings.

Use the camera at temperatures within 0^ 40^ C ( 32^ to 104^ F) and humidity between 20% 80% . The input power source is 12VDC/24VAC.

Troubleshooting

No power

Check to be certain that you have sufficient current or amperage from the power supply.

Amount of current needed depends on voltage. See this manuals spec. sheet for information on power consumption.

Picture output is horizontal.

Depending on camera will be installed on wall or on ceiling, you may have to remove camera module and rotate it so can install for wall or ceiling. See Installation A step 2 for explanation and steps.
