Amazon.com Product Description

The Lorex VQ1030 Weatherproof B/W Bullet Camera with DeLuxe Sunshade is an economical and reliable compact camera designed for use with wide variety of CCTV applications. Constructed with a corrosion-resistant metal housing that includes rubber O-rings to prevent moisture intrusion, this weatherproof camera comes with a removable metal sunshade for added environmental protection. Easy to install, the Lorex VQ1030 provides a high-quality image with good light sensitivity, making this camera well suited to discreet surveillance in your home or business, especially when your application requires an installation that is exposed to the weather.

This bullet camera utilizes a 0.33-inch black-and-white CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor, with 512-by-492 effective picture elements. Built with a 4.3-millimeter fixed lens, the VQ1030 has a high resolution of 380 horizontal TVL (TV lines). This unit achieves a S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio of more than 48 dB, and can receive a picture down to a minimum illumination of 0.1 Lux. The unit features an automatic electronic shutter with an exposure time ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second, as well as a male-to-male BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman, RF-type) connecting cable. The VQ1030 runs on 12-volts DC power via an included adapter, and can operate in temperatures from 14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

Technical Features:

• Sensitivity: down to 0.1 Lux
• Lens type: 4.3 mm fixed
• Resolution: 512 by 492 effective pixels and 380 TVL
• Operating temperature: 14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit
• Dimensions: 1.5 x 3.375 x 1.75 inches (W x D x H)

The Lorex VQ1030 weatherproof camera is a great addition to your Lorex surveillance system. Quick and easy to install with a standard BNC to RCA connector, this Lorex camera comes completely assembled and ready to use with a 65-foot cable that lets you install it almost anywhere. Users should note that even with the sunshade 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.
