Amazon.com Product Description
The SPECO CVC-638/170 Ultra Wide-angle Waterproof Color Bullet Camera is great for any outdoor application. Constructed with a durable waterproof housing, this camera's compact design allows it to be placed virtually anywhere. Designed to provide a high-resolution picture with a very wide viewing angle, the SPECO CVC-638/170 is a great addition to any video surveillance system, especially in applications subject to inclement weather conditions.P This bullet camera utilizes a 0.33-inch color CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor with a 2.2-millimeter ultra wide-angle lens that gives the camera a 170-degree field of view. With 512-by-492 effective pixels, the CVC-638/170 has a high resolution of 380 horizontal TVL (TV lines), and achieves a S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio of 48 dB or better. Fairly sensitive to light, this camera can receive a usable picture with a minimum illumination of one Lux. The SPECO CVC-638/170 operates on the NTSC TV scanning system, and includes a standard BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman) composite video output. This unit runs on a regulated 12-volt DC power supply, and can operate in temperatures ranging from 14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. The CVC-638/170 comes complete with a built-in automatic electronic shutter with speeds ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second.P bTechnical Features:/b ul liS/N ratio: better than 48 dB liSensitivity: minimum illumination of 1 Lux liEffective pixels: 512 by 492 pixels liHorizontal resolution: 380 TVL liOperating temperatures: 14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit liDimensions: 1.5 x 3.5 inches (diameter x depth) /ul The SPECO CVC-638/170 camera provides you with a high-quality color picture from a camera that can go virtually anywhere, and deserves serious consideration as an addition to any severe-weather security system. Users should note that the CCD sensor may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light, so the camera should not be mounted or pointed directly at the sun or other bright-light sources.P bAbout Surveillance Camera Technical Features/bbr bLux rating/b 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 bresolution/b should be greater than or equal to the resolution supported by the system's recorder or monitor. The bS/N/b, or bsignal to noise ratio/b, 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 bdynamic range/b is ideal, especially for recording areas in which both indoor and outdoor light are present. bCCD (charge-coupled device) sensors/b provide high-quality images that are less susceptible to noise. bCMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors/b offer less image quality, but are usually more cost-effective and energy efficient.

Great wide-angle video camera May 24, 2007
Reuel Robertson (Woodinville, WA USA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this camera as a rear-view camera to aid in docking my 40-foot power boat. I selected it because it is rated for outdoor use and it provides a nearly 180 degree view (170 actually). I have been very impressed. I moored in a tight spot the first week I had the boat, with only 55 feet available to back out my slip and turn 90 degrees to exit. I was able to move within a few feet of the boats behind me with confidence, because the video image quality is excellent in daylight, and the wide-angle shows so much of one's surroundings. I viewed the video image on a RayMarine E120, which has an 800x600 pixel resolution. The camera provides enough resolution that there is no discernable pixelization on this display. The Speco CVC-638/170 is an excellent product.
