Preface
This product is a 1/2-inch type {1/2} CCD color CCTV camera. Connection of this product to a
video monitor allows users to use this product as a monitoring camera. The main features are
described as follows:
Introduction of near-infrared CCD
This camera has the capacity to shoot pictures under the light source from the near-infrared
light region to the visible light region.
Auto back focus function (ABF) equipped
Moving the CCD inside the camera to an optimal position with the operation button of this unit
or the setup menu allows users to automatically adjust the back focus.
The back focus is adjustable with the setup menu through the system controller (option) even
after installation of this unit.
The auto back focus function also allows users to correct out of focus when changing between
color and black-and-white images.
High sensitivity achieved thanks tonoise reduction function
As low as 0.09 lx (F1.4) has been accomplished for color images thanks to the introduction of
low noise circuit design.
Night monochrome image activation function equipped
No setting change is required at night because images automatically changes from the color
mode to the black-and-white mode at low illuminance.
Motion detector function equipped
If motion is observed in the monitor, the camera is covered with a cloth, a cap, or the like, or the
camera direction is changed during monitoring, an alarm signal is provided.
Note:
The motion detector function is not exclusively used for prevention of theft, fire, etc. We are
not responsible for any accidents or damages occurring in case.
