EverFocus EDH 5102 Surveillance Camera - Color & Monochrome

Experience versatile, high-performance surveillance with the EverFocus EDH 5102, a flexible camera designed to deliver reliable imaging in both color and monochrome modes. Built to meet the demands of homes and small to mid-sized businesses, this camera combines true day/night capability, wide dynamic range, infrared illumination, covert operation options, and pan/tilt/zoom flexibility. Whether you’re securing a storefront, lobby, hallway, or outdoor entrance, the EDH 5102 provides crisp, actionable footage with easy integration into existing security ecosystems.

• True day/night imaging with Color and Monochrome modes enables dependable identification across changing lighting conditions. The EDH 5102 employs an automatic infrared cut filter and a sensitive sensor to transition smoothly between color in bright daylight and high-contrast monochrome when lighting fades. In color mode, you gain authentic skin tones and natural hues for scene analysis, while monochrome mode enhances edge detail and texture in low-light environments. This dual-mode capability reduces the need for multiple cameras and simplifies your security setup, delivering consistent footage in lobbies, entrances, or storefronts as ambient light shifts throughout the day.
• Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and high-light adaptability ensure footage remains usable in challenging scenes. The camera balances exposure so you can clearly see faces and objects even when part of the frame is backlit or strongly shadowed. Whether you’re monitoring a sunlit doorway across from a bright window or recording a dim storage area with bright overhead lighting, WDR minimizes blown-out highlights and underexposed shadows. This makes the EDH 5102 ideal for entrances, checkout lines, corridors, and exterior perimeters where light conditions vary dramatically within a single scene.
• Infrared night vision provides reliable surveillance after dark without relying on external lighting. Integrated infrared illumination supports monochrome nighttime imaging, maintaining scene clarity and detail as ambient light drops. This feature is particularly advantageous for outdoor entries, parking areas, and interior spaces that experience overnight lighting fluctuations. With the EDH 5102, your security team can review night footage with confidence, recognizing movement, shapes, and forms even in near-complete darkness.
• Covert operation and PTZ versatility deliver discreet, wide-area coverage from a single mounting point. The camera’s covert capabilities allow for subtle monitoring where visibility might influence behavior, while pan/tilt/zoom control enables precise target tracking and broad scene overview. Presets, patrol patterns, and smooth zoom transitions help security personnel follow activity through hallways, storefronts, or large lobby spaces without sacrificing image quality. This combination is especially valuable in retail environments, office corridors, and other SMB settings where flexible positioning and stealth monitoring enhance deterrence and evidence gathering.
• Indoor/outdoor suitability and SMB-friendly integration support scalable security. The EDH 5102 is designed for flexible installation across a range of environments, from indoor surveillance in offices or homes to outdoor setups in covered or protected spaces. Its versatile mounting options, combined with compatibility with common NVRs and security platforms, make it a practical choice for growing security systems. The camera’s color/monochrome and day/night capabilities ensure you can deploy a single, future-ready solution that evolves with your security needs while maintaining high image quality and reliable performance.
