Clover CM600W B/W Outdoor Bullet Camera

10-22-2007 - Brand New Item. Description - CLOVER CM600W Weather-Resistant Camera (B&W)

The Clover CM600W B/W Outdoor Bullet Camera is the fast, simple and extremely discreet CCTV video surveillance solution you've been looking for. This camera provides high-quality images at high-resolutions in a compact metal case, to allow users to remotely monitor warehouses, construction sites, parking lots, office buildings and more. Easy to install, the CM600W is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, and is weather resistant by itself without requiring a separate camera housing.

This camera utilizes a 0.33-inch black-and-white CCD (charge-coupled device) sensor, with a resolution of 512-by-492 pixels or 380 TVL (TV lines). The CM600W includes a 3.6mm lens, and has a usable minimum illumination down to 0.1 Lux. The unit's built-in electronic auto iris control, built-in automatic backlight compensation, low-illumination function, and exposure times ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second, ensuring a high picture quality with user-definable parameters. This camera can provide a frame rate of up to 30 frames-per-second (frames per second), equivalent to a 460-NTSC analog video. Powered via a 12-volt external DC power supply (included), it can operate in temperatures from -10 to 50-degrees Celsius.

Technical Features:

• Sensitivity: down to 0.1 Lux
• Frame rate: up to 30 frames per second
• Resolution: up to 512 by 492 pixels or 380 TVL
• Operating temperature: -10 to 50 degrees Celsius
• Dimensions: approximately 2 x 6 x 2 centimeters (W x D x H)

Overall, the Clover CM600W provides you with a reliable, easy-to-use and unobtrusive camera that can complement most any monitoring system. Quick and easy to install, this incredibly compact camera comes completely assembled and ready to use, and includes an adjustable set of functions to help you get the surveillance you need regardless of the lighting environment. Users should note, however, that the CCD sensor may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light.

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.
