LATEST revision
Sony CCD -- not to be confused with older, inferior imager chips (even
high quality Sony from years past) |
Older or inferior
CCD imagers (or even worse, CMOS) to the absolute newest Sony SuperHAD
and Ex-View chips |
Most cameras
have 1/3" CCD to deliver the widest field of view as well as
the best color saturation and low light performance |
Beware of 1/4"
CCDs -- even with the latest imagers, these units often produce much
lower video quality and have a significantly narrower field of view,
even with the same lens focal length. Plus, 1/4" CCD cameras
are sometimes advertised incorrectly in both their specs and their
realistic performance. |
CCD cameras produce
MUCH higher resolution video images than comparable CMOS-imager cams |
Many miniature
cameras (and especially disguised / hidden camera units) only have
low quality CMOS imagers |
High quality
components and manufacturing for the most reliable cameras which last
for years without decreased performance |
Typically, many
cameras found in the CCTV industry are JUNK. Many fail (sometimes
in as little as a few days we've heard too many customers . . .) or
have terrible pixel burns after only a short period of use |
We provide all
the specifications, but also the real world pros and cons of each
camera after our thorough in-house testing |
Ask you to rely
on misleading, unclear, or incomplete specs for untested / unknown
real video performance |
Unbelievable
low light performance capable of low light performance equal to or
BETTER than the human eye -- often with even more brilliant and vivid
colors |
Poor low light
performance produces grainy and indistinguishable images when you
need them the most |
Built-in and
automatic gain circuitry (AGC, BLC, WBC) provides the best video quality
in a diverse range of lighting conditions |
Low quality or
no image circuitry controls makes video images appear distorted in
changing lighting conditions |
There are two
key elements to each of our cameras: a superior CCD imager PLUS superior
manufacturing |
Low quality (often
Chinese) manufacturing leads to future breakdown |
FREE 7-piece
deluxe camera bonus accessory package is included with EVERY camera
order ($60 - $80 value elsewhere) |
Hidden charges
for necessary equipment like power supplies, adapters, cables, and
accessories |
