The Clover C3327SH Mini Professional Color Camera is the fast, simple and discreet CCTV video surveillance solution you've been looking for. This camera includes advanced digital signal processing and a convenient configurable feature set to allow users to remotely monitor warehouses, construction sites, parking lots, office buildings and more. Easy to install, the C3327SH is designed for primarily indoor use, but can be used in well-protected outdoor environments.

This camera utilizes a high-end 0.33-inch Sony HAD CCD (charge-coupled device) sensor, with a resolution of 512-by-492 pixels. The C3327SH includes a 4.3-millimeter C-mount lens, has a usable illumination down to 0.1 Lux, and a better-than 48 dB S/N (signal to noise) ratio. The unit's auto electronic shutter control, built-in automatic backlight compensation, low-illumination function, and exposure times ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second, ensuring a high picture quality with user-definable parameters. This camera can provide a frame rate of up to 30 frames-per-second (frames per second), equivalent to a 460-NTSC analog video. Powered via a 12-volt external DC power supply (included), it can operate in temperatures from -10 to 50-degrees Celsius.

Technical Features:

• Sensitivity: down to 0.1 Lux
• S/N ratio: more than 48 dB
• Frame rate: up to 30 frames per second
• Resolution: up to 512 by 492 pixels or 420 TVL
• Operating temperature: -10 to 50 degrees Celsius

Overall, the Clover C3327SH provides you with a reliable, easy-to-use and unobtrusive camera that can complement most any monitoring system. Quick and easy to install, this camera comes completely assembled and ready to use and includes a robust feature set to help you get the surveillance you need regardless of the lighting environment. 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.
