  • LATEST revision Sony 1/3" SuperHAD CCD
  • Brilliant 380 horizontal TV lines of resolution

DC-26 DSP (digital signal processing) CCD covert color wall clock camera with Sony SuperHAD 1/3" imager. 3.7mm wide angle pinhole lens included installed. This unit is 'plug and play' 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:

What a super placement - nobody EVER spots this lens! Don't confuse this with most similar-looking 'factory-made' covert cameras you'll find out there- many of which are complete junk. These are handcrafted in the USA by our specialty technicians. The technical specifications (specs) haven't changed in over 3 years - but the performance sure has! The same "380+ horizontal TV lines / 0.5 lux" cam now has an overall sharper picture capable of performing in lower light situations than even the last revision version. The DC-22 has even blown some "high resolution" 480 line cameras away in side-by-side comparisons for true visual clarity and color.

The camera and transmitter are powered by a single plug, and included wall transformer can be plugged directly into any available outlet. For optimum permanent placement with no visible wiring, installer can drill a small hole into wall behind unit for the power cable to run completely out of sight to the power transformer. Some users choose to run the cable out of the side of the camera and use wiring cover or conduit along the wall (obtained at hardware stores, etc.).

View of camera is a wide angle, and the camera itself is mounted at a straight horizontal angle. Mounted at about 6-8' is considered ideal for many 'total room coverage' applications. Higher mounts are more likely to capture usable video only in the lower portion of the frame.

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.

Common Applications:

• Commercial employee monitoring
• General residential and commercial indoor security solutions

Available Options:

DELUXE bonus accessory kit included FREE with each camera ordered!

Variations / Alternate Equipment to Consider:

We also carry a bw version #DB-22. Still same wide field of view with 3.7mm lens and 1/3" Sony DSP SuperHAD image sensor.

We also carry 2 WIRELESS versions of this camera, the color #WDC-22 and the black & white #WDB-22. Nice range and reception from a hidden 2.4GHz transmitter (900 MHz versions available by special request only).

Cautions:

You should always give careful consideration when choosing covert products. Oftentimes, customers don't fully consider some of the practical logistics before making a purchase, only to later realize that a particular placement really isn't feasible. Smoke detector cameras are great for a variety of placements, but have some limitations (read more above).

This is a NON-weatherproof camera, and as such- must be treated with extra care and NEVER left outdoors.
