CC-X2HAD DSP (digital signal processing) CCD exposed board camera module with Sony SuperHAD 1/3" imager. 3.7mm wide angle pinhole lens included installed. This unit is compatible with ALL of our recorders (DVR and VCR) and wireless equipment. It's also compatible with all consumer VCRs as well as most television sets (those with standard composite RCA or BNC inputs).

Profile:

This is a great camera with the newly revised 1/3" Sony SuperHAD DSP (digital signal processing) CCD imager chipset. *HOWEVER, there are a couple of notes to mention about this unit. In color mode, this features identical picture quality to our CC-1HAD and CC-7HAD configurations. When the light drops, the camera seamlessly switches to monochrome/ BW mode. However, it does tend to switch over 'too quickly', well above the light level where a color-only CC-1HAD or CC-7HAD would still be imaging color just fine. And, in black and white mode, it's got decent low-light ability for monochrome, but not as good as most of our standard lux bw cams- and nowhere close to our super low lux Ex-view cameras. For those reasons, we recommend this camera only in fairly rare circumstances- mainly where there is a need for a covert camera to work in conjunction with external infrared (IR) lighting such as may be found in our spotlight section.

We carry ONLY the LATEST and BEST in CCTV chipset technology and circuit board engineering (both aspects are critical to produce a high quality CCD camera)! Too many in our industry are still liquidating 'antiques' on an unsuspecting public, often even unaware themselves that better technology exists.

Though the board width/ height is a few millimeters larger than the enclosed case metal versions, this camera weighs less and slightly lower in profile. Also, the video/ power cable comes straight down from the bottom of the camera- rather than attached to a 90° plug at the rear. This may allow for easier covert use in certain (esp. clothing/ body worn) applications.


Common Applications:

• Bodyworn under clothing
• General covert disguised use as it easy to hide behind many types of materials, including fabric for clothing
• Lightweight R/C (radio controlled) or other applications where minimizing size and payload weight is crucial (weighs only 17 grams without factory cable set or heatshrink)
• For temporary, experimental or "disposable" applications in which a sharp and/ or low light camera is required that may be prone to damage or destruction
• Onboard vehicle use including security and backup purposes
• Sport usage for 'extreme' footage
• Economical security solution
• OEM & scientific / machine purposes


Available Options:

DELUXE 7 piece bonus accessory kit included FREE with each camera ordered! ($60+ value) Features 25 ft. video + power cable which can be upgraded to 50', 100' or even 150' in your choice of black or white color!

*These are available without the normally added heat shrink coating by special request- with a special warning. We have many customers who may wish to use these in applications where the heatshrink is unwelcome. Perhaps they wish to use the tiny holes on the edge of the board to custom mount into a placement- such as an OEM manufacturer. These users are welcome, but must understand that any type of physical or electronic damage will not be covered by any warranty. Simply request part # NO-HS from operator when placing your order.


Variations / Alternate Equipment to Consider:

We carry the color-only version of this camera, the #CC-1HAD We also carry a sharpnose color-only version #CC-1HS with a slightly protruded lens tip. Still same wide field of view with 3.7mm lens, but may require less modification to back side of certain materials when creating a flush-mount placement.

If the highest resolution covert imaging is required- and a little more space permits- you may want to consider the use of our high resolution color #CC-1XP camera instead of this one. The CC-1XP is larger (has two boards) and slightly heavier, but uses the latest Sony® high resolution/ low light Ex-View® technology for awesome low lux ability.

We also carry the #BW-1HAD, which is this same shape, size and weight, but black & white (monochrome) imaging instead.


Cautions:

As an 'exposed board' camera module- rather than an enclosed camera- the drawback to smaller size and weight is being much more prone to physical damage. Our special 3M heatshrink protection only helps to protect against short-circuiting the board components with foreign objects. The heat shrink does not give any real protection against physical shock or exposure from the elements.

Fixed pinhole lens is not interchangeable like many of our board-type lens cameras.

This is a non-weatherproof camera, and as such- must be treated with extra care and NEVER left outdoors or exposed to the elements without the proper protective housings. Even condensation moisture or dust can 'creep' into the board components.

Also, unlike most miniature enclosed case cameras, this camera model doesn't have any type of traditional mounting holes, brackets, etc., unless the heatshrink is deliberately left off or removed. Therefore, some sort of custom mounting is necessary to affix it securely into one spot. Some sort of adhesive is generally used, as well as special tapes and foams. A simple hot glue gun from the craft store can really be useful, since it can allow one to create a very secure mount to certain items and materials. Unlike a glue or epoxy, hot glue can be (carefully) removed for alternate placements. However, certain surfaces won't allow a good bond with hot glue. Smooth and/ or metal surfaces can sometimes be made more suitable by 'roughing up' on both sides with medium-coarse sandpaper or a grinding tool.
