Better than a Dome No washed out low contrast images caused by IR-Lens leak-through.

Long IR Range Pixim Seawolf Security Camera

 
Security Camera with new DPS Imager technology that solves many of the shortcomings of conventional CCD and CMOS sensors, this Pixim Seawolf Solution is ideal for most common and many difficult Security Surveillance applications.

Specifically designed for surveillance in domestic and commercial situations this Security Camera can be easily added to an existing Security Recording system (or replace an under performing CCD Camera), simply connect Video Output from Camera to an unused Security DVR Video input.

This Security Camera can be easily connected to the Composite Video Input (AV, Yellow RCA socket) on most TVs and Domestic or commercial Recording Devices, if required a Microphone can be easily added and a single small diameter Cable used to carry Video, Audio & Power 20 or more metres.

Powered by Pixim's 'Seawolf Solution' this Security Camera has an extraordinary 690 HTVL effective resolution, this is far better than conventional Security Cameras, HTVL Effective Specification.

Better than a Dome separation between Lens and LED glass eliminates transmission of infrared from LED to Lens that with a one-piece Dome results in a washed out image and a reduction in contrast, also eliminated are internal reflections caused by light entering from behind and sides, these problems cannot be resolved with a conventional one-piece Dome.

Lens: Variable Focal Length IR focus-shift corrected 2.8 ~ 12 mm Automatic Iris with external Focus & Focal Length adjusters, copes with High levels of illumination, passes more light and provides greater depth-of-field than ordinary fixed Iris Lenses. There are no optional Lenses for this Camera, security camera lens information.

Video System: 2:1 Interlace switchable between PAL 50/625 or NTSC 60/525. PAL 50 Hz vertical, 15 625 Hz horizontal. Compatible with TV Systems in Australia, NZ, UK, USA, Japan, etc.

Video Output: Composite Video 75 ohms 1.14 V p-p, BNC socket on ~ 70 cm cable, suitable for TV, DVR, VCR, AV & Video inputs in Australia, NZ, UK, USA, Japan, etc.

Sensor/DSP HTVL-effective Resolution: 690 HTVL-E better than Super-VHS near SDTV/DVD resolution. Pixim Whitepapers: HTVL Effective Specification & Camera Resolution Is Limited to 540 HTVL Maximum in CCTV Systems

Horizontal Resolution: 540 HTVL, this value is provided for comparative purposes only.

Vertical Resolution: 460 VTVL, this value is provided for comparative purposes only, significantly better than conventional interlaced CCD sensors.

Sensitivity: ~ 0.1 Lux @ F1.2, 50 IRE, 25 fps, CMY (this value is provided for comparative purposes only) Camera produces images in total darkness when Infrared LEDs are 'ON'.

Automatic Electronic Shutter (AES): 1/25 to 1/30 720 second.

Dynamic Range (more): 102 dB typically, 120 dB maximum, Dynamic Range is illustrated on this page.

Smear (more): Zero for most practical purposes, copes with highlights better than ordinary CCD cameras, Smear is illustrated on this page.

Spectral Response: ~ 400 to ~ 1100 nm with Infrared 'CUT' Filter 'out' of optical path.

Signal to Noise ratio (SNR): up to 50 dB, measured with AGC off.

Back Light Compensation (BLC): Automatic, On/Off.

Noise Reduction: 3D, Motion Adaptive.

Flicker Reduction: 'Pixim' Enhanced Flicker Reduction.

Gamma: 0.45.

Infrared Illuminator: 18 Light Emitting Diodes (LED) ~ 850 nm wavelength Infrared, these produce a dull Red visible glow and switch On/Off depending on illumination level. Depending on Lens 'focal length' setting LEDs illuminate up to ~ 80% of the Width-of-Vision at up to ~ 15 m depending on the Infrared reflective characteristics of subject. Objects closer than ~ 2 metres may be overexposed when illuminated by LEDs.

IR-CUT motorised movable Infrared Cut Filter: Yes, details below.

In Day mode (well lit, colour) mechanism automatically positions IR-CUT optical filter between Lens and Image Sensor to exclude Infrared radiation that would otherwise adversely affect colour reproduction, this ensures colour rendition not possible with ordinary non-filtered or notch-filter type Day/Night cameras.

In Night mode (low light, monochrome) mechanism automatically removes IR-CUT optical filter to allow Infrared radiation to pass boosting low light and Infrared sensitivity, the result is significantly better night images using inbuilt Infrared Illuminator or with Infrared rich light sources. Infrared Response without Infrared filter is ~ 700 to ~ 1100 nm better than a 'Security Camera notch IR Filter', additional Security Camera Infrared Night Vision information.
