Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The Lorex SG2284UQ-A 12-inch 2-page/8-channel B/W Quad Observation System with Web-ready Video Software and 4 Cameras provides convenience, versatility, and quality in a robust and complete system. This system allows you to view up to eight camera locations in real-time sequentially in full-screen, or simultaneously in quad or PIP (picture-in-picture) modes. The included four cameras have a built-in motion-sensing function so you won't miss any action, while the monitor has a built-in video capture card and USB output that allows remote security viewing over the Internet. Featuring two-way audio, remote control, and other features the Lorex SG2284UQ-A is a complete, self-contained expandable observation system perfect for monitoring your home, or your small- to medium-sized business.

The SG2284UQ-A's 12-inch black-and-white picture-tube monitor can be operated via its built-in main panel or via an included remote control. Protected by a durable metal cabinet housing, this monitor includes eight DIN/BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman) composite video inputs, and eight RCA audio inputs. Also included are four alarm inputs with two alarm outputs for connecting external alarm devices. The SG2284UQ-A's monitor features on-screen display of date/time/camera, a stand-by switch that allows recording to occur while the monitor is off, video-loss detection warning, and two-way audio capability that lets you speak to a camera location with the push of a button. This unit also features selectable still-frame in quad or full-screen, a 2x zoom function, and the ability to view live and recorded video simultaneously in a three-by-three matrix format, as well as a both main and PIP channel display modes. Multi-voltage compatible, the SG2284UQ-A's monitor runs on 100 to 240-volts of AC power, achieves high horizontal resolution of 450 TVL (TV lines) at up to 30 fps (frames-per-second), and has an operating temperature of 32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

The four cameras that come with the SG2284UQ-A utilize 0.33-inch black-and-white CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensors with 3.6mm fixed wide-angle lenses. Powered from the monitor via their connecting cables, these cameras achieve a high horizontal resolution of 380 TVL. The SG2284UQ-A's cameras also are very good in low-light conditions with the ability to receive a usable picture down to 0.5 Lux, and are constructed of durable white ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic. These units feature an automatic electronic shutter with speeds ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second, and PIR (passive InfraRed) motion sensors that allow full-motion or alert-sensing to bring to your attention important camera activity. The SG2284UQ-A's cameras come with their own 63-foot connection cables, and can operate in temperatures ranging from -14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

Technical Features:

• Camera lenses: 3.6mm fixed wide-angle

• Resolution: monitor 450 TVL up to 30 fps, camera 380 TVL
• Operating temperature: -14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit for camera; 32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit for monitor
• Monitor dimensions: 12.5 x 12 x 11.8 inches (W x D x H)
• Camera dimensions: 2.16 x 3.03 x 3.34 inches (W x D x H)

Designed primarily for indoor use, the Lorex SG2284UQ-A offers you everything you need in a security surveillance system. Though only four cameras are included, the SG2284UQ-A allows up to eight cameras to be controlled, viewed, and recorded all by a single unit. This system is intended for use with a professional security recorder, such as a time-lapse VCR or a DVR, in order to take advantage of its recording functionality. Users should note that the CCD image sensors in these cameras 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 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.
