This micro camera utilizes a 0.5-inch interline-transfer color CCD (charge-coupled device) sensor, with 768-by-494 effective pixels at a horizontal resolution of 480 TVL (TV lines). This camera has a minimum illumination of two Lux, and achieves a S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio of 50 dB or better. The Elmo MN400 operates on the NTSC format and includes an eight-pin round-type VBS (video burst sync) connector for video out. This unit comes complete with features such as AGC (automatic gain control), a switchable automatic white balance, and an electronic shutter that can be set to either automatic or a certain speed. Powered via an eight-pin 12-volt DC adapter, the MN400 can operate between -10 and 40-degrees Celsius.

Technical Features:

• S/N ratio: better than 50 dB
• Sensitivity: 2 Lux
• Effective pixels: 768 by 494 pixels
• Horizontal resolution: 480 TVL
• Operating temperatures: -10 to 40 degrees Celsius
• Dimensions: approximately 2 x 8 x 2 centimeters (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.
