Amazon.com Product Description

The Sylvania SY4152 2.4 GHz Wireless Color 2 Camera System is a simple, reliable, and highly economical solution for most basic remote monitoring needs. The easy-to-install Sylvania SY4152 cameras feature wireless technology to save you the hassle of cable connections, making it an ideal solution when portability is required. Not only is this system compatible with all Sylvania 2.4 GHz wireless devices, but with built-in listen-in audio and the receiver's ability to autoscan up to four separate cameras, this system can turn any TV into a video security system that is great for monitoring situations where installing cables are not convenient.

The SY4152's two included cameras utilize color CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) image sensors, with 3.7-millimeter fixed lenses and 510 x 492 effective pixels. These units deliver a good-resolution picture with 380 horizontal TVL (TV lines) down to a minimum illumination of two Lux, and include built-in condenser microphones. The Sylvania SY4152 cameras run on 12-volt DC power via included AC/DC adapters, and have operating temperatures of 14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

The SY4152's receiver allows for signal reception from up to 300-feet away with a clear line of sight. The Sylvania SY4152 receiver includes a standard RCA composite video output connection that easily connects to most TVs or VCRs, and runs on 9-volt DC power via an included AC/DC adapter. This receiver can accept signals from up to four cameras simultaneously, allowing you to autoscan all four or display full-screen images of a single camera, and has an operating temperature of 14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

Technical Features:

• Signal distance: up to 300-feet (with clear line of site)
• Light sensitivity: minimum illumination of 2 Lux
• Horizontal resolution: 380 TVL
• Camera and receiver operating temperatures: 14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit
• Camera dimensions: approximately 2.8 x 4.3 x 1.85 inches (W x D x H)
• Receiver dimensions: approximately 6 x 3.5 x 1.75 inches (W x D x H)

Designed primarily for indoor use, the Sylvania SY4152 system deserves serious consideration as one of the easiest and most economical monitoring solutions that anybody can set up anywhere. This system can be installed and ready to go in under a minute, and the camera's wireless capability lets you move your camera easily to another area that needs monitoring, while the SY4152 receiver's four-channel capability allows you to expand your system as needed. Users should note that the CMOS sensors may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light, so the cameras 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.
