Amazon.com Product Description

The Pro Video CVC-325WPS B/W Waterproof Bullet Camera with Sunshield, Infrared LED Lighting, and Black Housing is great for any outdoor application. Constructed of durable black-finished brass, this camera is not only fully waterproof and can operate submerged in water up to 90-feet deep, but includes a removable sunshield to protect it from the suns glare. Designed to provide a high resolution picture even in complete darkness, the Pro Video CVC-325WPS is a great addition to any video surveillance system, especially in applications subjected to extremely inclement weather conditions.

This bullet camera utilizes a 0.33-inch black-and-white CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor with a 3.6-millimeter fixed lens, and provides 512-by-492 effective pixels. The CVC-325WPS has a high resolution of 420 horizontal TVL (TV lines), and achieves a S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio of 46 dB or better. Already extremely sensitive to light, this camera has six built-in IR (InfraRed) LEDs (light emitting diodes) that allow it to receive a picture in total darkness (0 Lux) within a limited distance. The Pro Video CVC-325WPS operates on the EIA (Electronics Industries Association) scanning system, and includes a standard RCA video output with a BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman) adapter. This unit runs on 12-volts DC power, and can operate in temperatures ranging from 14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. The CVC-325WPS comes complete with a built-in automatic electronic shutter with speeds ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second.

Technical Features:

• S/N ratio: better than 46 dB
• Minimum illumination: 0 Lux via IR LEDs with limited distance
• Effective pixels: 512 by 492 pixels
• Horizontal resolution: 420 TVL
• Operating temperatures: 14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit
• Dimensions: 1.94 x 2.95 x 1.87 inches (W x D x H)

The Pro Video CVC-325WPS camera provides you with a high-quality B/W picture from a camera that can go virtually anywhere, and deserves serious consideration as an addition to any severe-weather security system. The CVC-128RS comes completely assembled and ready to use, and allows you to go from the darkest underwater depths to the brightest daytime sunlight and anywhere in-between. Users should note that even with the sunshield the CCD 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.

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.
