Features
Introduction of newly developed high-resolution CCD
The introduction of the newly developed CCD with 976 horizontal pixels has led to a horizontal res-
olution of as high as 650 TV lines. 
High sensitivity achieved because of noise reduction function 
Sensitivity at the following minimum illuminations has been accomplished for color images because 
of the introduction of low noise circuit design (F1.4) : 
0.08 lx (color), 0.008 lx (black-and-white) 
CP310
CP310

Day/Night conversion function equipped

CP310
CP300
No  setup  change  is  required  at  night  because  the  image  automatically  changes  from  the  color 
mode to the black-and-white mode at low illuminance. 
Bright images can be captured at night because of automatic switching of IR filters at low illumina\
nce.
Motion detection function (VMD) equipped
The motion of an object is detectable. The acts of covering the camera w\
ith a cloth, a cap or other 
acts and changing the camera direction during surveillance can be detected.
