Amazon.com Product Description:
The Remmington Security 00762 Color Camera with Built-in Microphone provides a high-quality image from a compact camera. With features such as listen-in audio support, the Remmington Security 00762 is a good basic addition to any compatible observation system from home monitoring applications to business security installations. The 00762's utilizes a 0.25-inch color CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor with a 4.3mm fixed lens, and achieves a horizontal resolution of 330 TVL (TV lines) down to a minimum illumination of two Lux. This camera includes RCA audio/video outputs for connecting to a TV, VCR, computer or CCTV monitor with input jacks. Designed primarily for indoor use, this unit features a built-in microphone for transmitting one-way audio. Including a 60-foot RCA cable and AC adapter, the 00762 measures 4 x 3.25 x 2.125 (W x D x H) inches with its mounting stand. 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.
