Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Remmington Security 00820 B/W Weatherproof Bullet Security Camera with Built-In Microphone provides a high-quality image from an extremely compact camera. With features such as listen-in audio support, the Remmington Security 00820 is a good discreet addition to any compatible observation system from home monitoring applications to business security installations.

The 00820's utilizes a 0.33-inch black-and-white CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor with a 3.6mm fixed-focus lens, and achieves a horizontal resolution of 420 TVL (TV lines) down to a minimum illumination of 0.5 Lux. This camera includes RCA audio/video outputs, a built-in microphone for transmitting one-way audio, and a high-speed electronic iris with shutter speeds ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second. Ideal for outdoor use with its weather-proof housing, the 00820 measures 1 x 4 x 1 inches (W x D x H) and includes a 100-foot connecting cable and DC power jack. Users should note that the CCD image sensor in this camera 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 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 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.
