25X Optical Zoom,Day/Night, and Removable IR Cut Filter Ensure Optimum Performance Around the Clock

The JVC VN-C655U(B) Network Dome Camera is the industry’s first full function dome camera with built-in web server.

1/4" IT CCD with 25x Optical Zoom

A high-resolution 1/4" interline transfer CCD with IR cut filter

captures scenes in realistic color, while the zoom functions (25x optical + 10x electronic) provide excellent detail when and where it is needed.

Extended Dynamic Range (ExDR)

Bright areas of a scene are shot with a high-speed shutter while dark areas receive normal exposure. Both sets of data are then combined to create a single, well-balanced image with light and dark areas perfectly exposed – another JVC innovation that makes a visible difference.

Super LoLuxTM Sensitivity & Nighttime Shooting

Even with light levels of just 0.6 lx, the VN-C655U(B) can shoot high- quality color pictures thanks to Super LoLuxTM technology. And at night the mechanical IR cut filter can be automatically retracted for infrared imaging (monochrome), making the camera sensitive enough to shoot in just 0.06 lx of ambient light.

Versatile Camera Control

Highly sophisticated control of camera movements

360°

 

is enabled with such features as 360-degree

 

endless panning and Auto Flip (ensuring no

 

blind spots), variable pan/tilt speeds, Auto Pan

 

and Auto Patrol with 100 preset positions,

 

Privacy Masking (to protect selected areas from

 

intrusive monitoring), and Auto Tour (to replay

 

manual camera operations).

180°

 

30fps Motion-JPEG (VGA)

The high-quality images are output as Motion-JPEG format with resolution up to 640x480 pixels and a maximum frame rate of 30fps. Any computer on the network can be used to monitor and store this video stream, and a future upgrade to add Internet capability to the VN-C655U(B) will allow remote access from virtually anywhere in the world.
