Canon VC-C50iR Reverse-mount Communication Camera

Designed to meet the specialized needs of the security industry, the Canon VC-C50iR Reverse-mount Communication Camera delivers high-quality video from far distances even under the dimmest lighting conditions. Providing a secure and sturdy connection interface and offering great flexibility in demanding environments, the Canon VC-C50iR is perfect for professional-grade installations. This camera also offers pan/tilt functionality so that nobody can slip past your surveillance, and you can focus on critical situations or areas as they arise. One of the most powerful zooms available, the VC-C50iR comes with an amazing 312x total zoom, making this camera perfect for intense, close-up scrutiny. Intended primarily for indoor use, the VC-C50iR has a built-in IR (infrared) source that allows you to see up to approximately 10-feet in complete darkness.

Utilizing a 0.25-inch 340,000-effective-pixels CCD (charge-coupled device) sensor, this camera can achieve a resolution of up to 460 horizontal TVL (TV lines). The VC-C50iR comes with a varifocal lens that allows an amazing 26x optical and 12x digital zoom. For extreme low-light situations, this camera has a 1/30th-of-a-second shutter speed, a light sensitivity of one lux with its motorized IR-cut (infrared) filter, and visibility in no-light conditions up to 10-feet away using the built-in IR sensor. The Canon VC-C50iR has automatic adjustable positioning with a 340-degree pan, and 100-degree tilt range. The VC-C50iR also features automatic and one-touch manual white balance to help ensure picture clarity in variable-lighting circumstances. This camera can operate in temperatures from zero to 40-degrees Celsius.

Technical Features:

• Sensitivity: down to 1 lux in visible-light mode
• Resolution: 460 horizontal TVL
• Zoom: up to 26x optical and 12x digital
• Pan/Tilt range: 340-degree pan range, 100-degree tilt range
• Pan/Tilt speed: up to 90-degrees Pan and 70-degrees Tilt per second
• Operating temperatures: from 0- to 40-degrees Celsius
• Dimensions: approximately 13 x 12.5 x 10 centimeters (W x D x H)

The Canon VC-C50iR Reverse-mount Communication Camera provides you with a reliable, easy-to-use camera with unparalleled zoom potential, making it a powerful addition to any security system. Designed to be reverse-mounted to a ceiling, the VC-C50iR lets you define up to nine position pre-sets as part of a scheduled tour, or control the camera's pan and tilt as circumstances demand. Quick and easy to install, this camera comes completely assembled and ready-to-use, and includes its own wireless remote for convenient control. 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.

About Pan/Tilt Cameras
A Pan/Tilt Camera has the ability to pan ("move" horizontally), or tilt ("move" vertically). IP cameras often have pan/tilt capability. A pan/tilt camera is ideal for monitoring of situations that need a continual real-time adjustment of the views.

About Auto Zoom Cameras
An auto-zoom camera can be remotely controlled and allows the monitor to manually zoom in on areas for clearer viewing. An auto-zoom camera, combined with a mount that has pan and tilt functionality, can be used to construct a high-end surveillance system.

About Infrared Cameras
An infrared camera uses an infrared illuminator for low-light and nighttime viewing. Typically designed with fixed focal lengths, infrared cameras provide black and white images of nighttime viewing, and many have color capability for daylight use.

Speco Technologies Indoor/Outdoor Color Speed Dome Camera

The SPECO CVC-927PTZ Indoor/Outdoor Speed Dome Color Camera combines a responsive pan/tilt movement, auto focus, low-light sensitivity, and a powerful zoom with a rich feature set making it ideal for highly sophisticated surveillance and security systems that require orientation and focus on details. With its weather-resistant design allowing for indoor and outdoor use, and its automatic daytime-to-nighttime viewing functionality, the SPECO CVC-927PTZ is perfect for a wide range of applications including the monitoring of people and property in most any situation.

This integrated PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) dome camera utilizes a 0.25-inch color Sony Exview HAD CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor with a 4.1- to 73.8-millimeter varifocal lens with auto focus. The CVC-927PTZ achieves a high resolution with 480 horizontal TVL (TV lines) and up to 768-by-494 effective picture elements via the NTSC signal system. This unit includes an extraordinary 18x optical and 12x digital zoom that allows you can clearly pick out even the most distant objects, and a S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio of better than 60 dB. The SPECO CVC-927PTZ features a wide dynamic range of operation, and includes eight alarm inputs and four alarm for connecting external devices. Already sensitive to light with a minimum illumination of 0.7 Lux in color to infinity, this unit automatically switches to black-and-white in night-mode with a minimum illumination 0.15 Lux in nightmode. If further sensitivity is required, you can remove the IR (infrared) cut filter from the camera, causing the camera to only transmit B/W images and thereby lowering the camera's minimum illumination to 0.01 Lux.

The SPECO CVC-927PTZ has a full pan-angle range of 360 degrees with a tilt range from 0-90 degrees, and includes an auto-flip that rotates your picture 180-degrees at tilt's bottom (for continuous in-motion coverage as something passes beneath the camera). Speeds can range from 0.1 to 90-degrees per second, with a maximum turbo speed of 360-degrees per second panning. This unit features eight preset tours and allows other tours to be programmed with functions and preset locations, as well as eight auto-scans including vector scan, four patterns and eight privacy zones. The CVC-927PTZ also features an onscreen display of camera ID and area name, and an operating temperature of 32 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. This camera also includes a built-in RS-485 connection for allowing remote operation from many devices such as controllers or DVRs, and runs on 24-volts of DC power with a built-in power-line surge.

Technical Features:

• Sensitivity: minimum illumination of 0.7 Lux in color and 0.15 Lux in B/W, or 0.01 Lux without IR cut filter
• Effective pixels: up to 768 by 494 pixels
• Zoom: 18x optical and 12x digital
• Pan/Tilt: 360-degrees of panning, 0-90 degree tilt with auto-flip function
• Dimensions: 5 x 8 inches (diameter x depth)

The SPECO CVC-927PTZ surveillance camera is a reliable, economical and high-quality solution for demanding interactive surveillance. The CVC-927PTZ is designed to work with a wide variety of SPECO accessories such as an optional housing with a heater and blower for extremely cold environments, so you can integrate it in to virtually any system. User's should note, however, that the camera's image sensor may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light, so the camera should not be mounted or pointed directly at the sun or other bright-light sources. This camera also requires a PC that is not included in this package in order to take advantage of the Internet functionality.
