Infrared Day/Night Armor Dome Camera

Let's take a look today at one of the better dome cameras on the market, the DC-777 Infrared Day/Night Armor Dome Camera. Dome cameras are small board cameras mounted in a clear glass dome for protection. What sets the DC-777 apart from other dome cameras is its armor dome. The clear protective plastic housing can withstand a blow from a hammer, thwarting any attempt to disable it. It is available in both color and black and white versions.

Dome cameras are easily recognizable to criminals, so you will want to use them when you want potential burglars or vandals to know they're being watched. The color version of the DC-777 is a day/night model, meaning it operates in color when their is plenty of available light and switches to black and white mode in low-light conditions. It does this automatically, so you will never miss a situation. Also, when either the color or the black and white mode switches to low-light mode it activates the built-in infrared LEDs, allowing the camera to see in almost total darkness. The housing is fully weatherproof, making this one of the best outdoor dome cameras on the market.

This dome camera can see down to .6 LUX in color mode and .1 LUX in black and white mode. Here's a quick comparison of what those LUX values mean - 1 LUX is about the amount of light available late in the evening, around dusk. .5 LUX is about the amount of light available in a well-lit parking lot at night. And .05 LUX would be perceived as total darkness by the human eye.

Resolution for the armor dome camera is crisp 380 horizontal lines in color and 420 horizontal lines in black and white. Horizontal lines means the number of lines the image sensor in the camera uses to "paint" the image on the display or recording device. This security camera has a 3.6mm f2.5 lens for maximum image quality in all lighting conditions. And it features a 1/3" digital CCD sensor for maximum definition.

The armor dome camera requires a 12 VDC power supply and consumes a maximum of 100ma of current. It is a wired camera, for maximum signal quality and distance. A compliment to any professional security camera system.
