Speco Technologies Conical Pinhole Bullet Camera

Amazon.com The CSI/SPECO CVC-622PH Color Conical Pinhole Bullet Camera is a simple-to-operate and extremely discreet video surveillance camera. Designed with both a miniature size and a conical shape, this bullet camera is perfect for use with thicker materials such as ceiling tiles or sheet rock. This camera not only provides high-quality images at high-resolutions with excellent light sensitivity, but does so in a completely hidden-from-view fashion. Easy to install, the CVC-622PH is designed primarily for indoor use, but can be used in well-protected outdoor environments, and is perfect for secret surveillance at home, childcare, school or in a small business. This camera utilizes a 0.33-inch color CCD (charge-coupled device) sensor, with a resolution of 512-by-492 pixels or 380 TVL (TV lines). The CVC-622PH includes a 4.3-millimeter pinhole lens that allows the camera to view through a 1/16th-of-an-inch hole. Additionally, this camera lens can receive a picture down to a minimum illumination of one Lux, and has a better-than 48 dB S/N (signal to noise) ratio. The unit's electronic shutter with an exposure time ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second helps ensure an even higher picture quality. Powered via a 12-volt external DC power supply (included), it can operate in temperatures from -20 to 122-degrees Fahrenheit. Technical Features: Sensitivity: down to 1 Lux S/N ratio: more than 48 dB Frame rate: up to 30 frames per second Resolution: up to 512 by 492 pixels or 380 TVL Operating temperature: -20 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit Dimensions: approximately 1 x 2.25 x 1 inches (W x D x H) For the ultra-discreet surveillance, the CSI/SPECO CVC-622PH provides you with a reliable, easy-to-use and high-quality camera that can complement most any monitoring system. Quick and easy to install, this incredibly compact color camera comes completely assembled and ready to use, and is dependable even in very low-light conditions. Users should note, however, that the CCD sensor may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light. About Surveillance Camera Technical Features Lux rating is the measurement used to indicate how sensitive a camera is to light, and stands for the level of light reflected off a piece of paper by a candle from one meter away. Thus a sensitivity of three Lux would mean a camera could generate an acceptable picture of a piece-of-paper-sized object that was illuminated by the equivalent of three candles from one meter away. The lower the Lux level, the better the camera's ability to work in low-light conditions. The camera's resolution should be greater than or equal to the resolution supported by the system's recorder or monitor. The S/N, or signal to noise ratio, is an important measure of a camera's quality. A poor camera, low-light conditions or poor wiring causes "noise" which consumes processing power and disk space. A camera with a wide dynamic range is ideal, especially for recording areas in which both indoor and outdoor light are present. CCD (charge-coupled device) sensors provide high-quality images that are less susceptible to noise. CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors offer less image quality, but are usually more cost-effective and energy efficient.
