FEATURES

This Color CCTV Camera is a video surveillance device that incorporates a 1/4-type {1/4"} CCD, a 22x zoom lens, preset and pan and tilt capabilities in a dome con- figuration. It also has the following features.

New DSP for High Sensitivity

A new noise reduction system lowers minimum illumi- nance to 1.0 lx {0.1 footcandle} in the color mode.

Digital Flip

Normally, a camera needs to stop when it points straight down during a tilt operation. With digital flip, however, the camera is able to tilt from 0 ° to 180 ° in a single motion. This makes it possible to track subjects passing directly under the camera more smoothly.

Digital flip is performed only when the system controller joystick is held downwards.

Privacy Zone Function

The privacy zone function makes it possible to mask specific areas of the scene from view.

Patrol Function

The patrol function remembers manual camera move- ment routines for automatic playback when they are needed. For example, you can teach the camera the movements of the people you want to monitor, by replaying the stored parameters complicated move- ments are done automatically.

Camera Position Memory

The system can be configured with up to 32 camera positions. A particular camera position can be selected and viewed by entering the applicable preset number on the system controller 10-key pad.

Motion Detection

The system can be configured so any motion on the monitor screen during surveillance causes output of an alarm signal.

This function can be used to structure a system with a VCR that records images of nighttime intruders.
