First Alert FAC-200 Wired Multi-Purpose B/W Camera with Built-in Microphone

This camera utilizes a 0.33-inch black-and-white CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor, with a 3.6-millimeter fixed wide-angle lens. The FAC200 has a sufficient resolution of 280 horizontal TVL (TV lines), and can receive a picture under no-light (0 Lux) conditions up to 10-feet away thanks to six IR LEDs (light emitting diodes). The First Alert FAC200 operates on the EIA (Electronics Industries Association) TV system, and includes a standard RCA composite audio/video output connection. This unit runs on 12-volt DC power, and has an operating temperature of eight- to 144-degrees Fahrenheit.

Technical Features:

• Sensitivity: 0.0 Lux in B/W up to 10-feet
• Lens: 3.6 mm fixed wide-angle
• Horizontal resolution: 280 TVL
• Operating temperatures: -8 and 144-degrees Fahrenheit
• Dimensions: approximately 2 x 1.5 x 2.5 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.
