The Net Media SC51 utilizes a color CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor and a 3.7-millimeter fixed lens. This unit achieves a resolution of 380 horizontal TVL (TV lines), and can receive a picture down to a minimum illumination of 0.5 Lux. This camera features an automatic electronic iris, and a bendable bracket for adjusting your field-of-view. For its output the Net Media SC51 uses a BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman, RF-type) connector, and can be combined with a digital modulator to distribute the camera signal to all the TVs in the home. This unit runs on 12-volts DC power supplied via its included power supply, and uses the NTSC TV system for its baseband output.

Technical Features:

• Sensitivity: minimum illumination of 0.5 Lux
• Signal system: NTSC
• Resolution: 380 TVL
• Lens type: 3.7 millimeter fixed
• Dimensions: 4 x 1.5 x 1.9 inches (W x D x H)

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.

Product Description

The NetMedia SC51 decorator-friendly camera blend in with existing light switches to provide unobtrusive security and surveillance. Great for monitoring the front door, baby's room or backyard. The baseband output can be viewed through the video input of a security monitor, TV, or VCR. Use with a digital modulator to distribute the camera signal to all TVs in the home.
