25-inch 340,000-effective-pixels CCD (charge-coupled device) sensor this camera can achieve a resolution of up to 460 horizontal TVL (TV lines). The VC-C50i comes with a varifocal lens that allows an amazing 26x optical and 12x digital zoom. For extreme low-light situations, this camera has a 1/30th-of-a-second shutter speed, a light sensitivity of one lux with its motorized IR-cut (infrared) filter, and visibility in no-light conditions up to 10-feet away using the built-in IR sensor. The Canon VC-C50i has automatic adjustable positioning with a 200-degree pan, and 120-degree tilt range. The VC-C50i also features automatic and one-touch manual white balance to help ensure picture clarity in variable-lighting circumstances. This camera can operate in temperatures from zero to 40-degrees Celsius. Technical Features: Sensitivity: down to 1 lux in visible-light mode Resolution: 460 horizontal TVL Zoom: up to 26x optical and 12x digital Pan/Tilt range: 200-degree pan range, 120-degree tilt range Pan/Tilt speed: up to 90-degrees Pan and 70-degrees Tilt per second Operating temperatures: from 0- to 40-degrees Celsius Dimensions: approximately 10 x 12. 5 x 9. 5 centimeters (W x D x H) The Canon VC-C50i Communication Camera provides you with a reliable, easy-to-use camera with unparalleled zoom potential, making it a powerful addition to any security system. You can define up to nine position pre-sets as part of a scheduled tour, or control the camera's pan and tilt as circumstances demand. Quick and easy to install, this camera comes completely assembled and ready-to-use, and includes its own wireless remote for convenient control. 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. About Pan/Tilt Cameras A Pan/Tilt Camera has the ability to pan ("move" horizontally), or tilt ("move" vertically). IP cameras often have pan/tilt capability. A pan/tilt camera is ideal for monitoring of situations that need a continual real-time adjustment of the views. About Auto Zoom Cameras An auto-zoom camera can be remotely controlled and allows the monitor to manually zoom in on areas for clearer viewing. An auto-zoom camera, combined with a mount that has pan and tilt functionality, can be used to construct a high-end surveillance system. About Infrared Cameras An infrared camera uses an infrared illuminator for low-light and nighttime viewing. Typically designed with fixed focal lengths, infrared cameras provide black and white images of nighttime viewing, and many have color capability for daylight use.

It incorporates an internal focusing system, which eliminates front lens rotation, allowing the use of polarizing filters and Petal type hoods. The lens materials used in this new lens are lead and arsenic free ecological glass.

Reproduction ratio 1: 2. 7 and an angle of view of 84. 1 allow capturing of high quality images not only a subject but also the surrounding scenery. This lens has an advanced optical construction, in order to obtain adequate peripheral brightness at open aperture. Also, the iris diaphragm has 9 diaphragm blades to obtain beautiful out of focus images in the foreground and background. This lens also incorporates a Dual-Focus (DF) mechanism. It is easy to hold the lens, since the focusing ring does not rotate during auto-focus, yet it provides adequate focusing torque of the focusing ring during manual focusing of the lens. Also this allows the use of a "Petal-type Hood", which gives a superior light blocking effect. It incorporates a floating focus system and uses two aspherical lens elements for minimizing distortion, spherical aberration and astigmatism.
