The SPECO CVC-627 Waterproof Color Bullet Day/Night Camera with IR LEDs is great for any outdoor application. Constructed of durable waterproof aluminum, this camera comes with a removable sunshade that helps eliminate glare and can even operate fully submerged in water. Designed to provide a high-resolution picture even in low-light and no-light conditions, the SPECO CVC-627 is a great addition to any video surveillance system, especially in round-the-clock applications subject to inclement weather conditions. This bullet camera utilizes a 0.25-inch color CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor with a 3.6-millimeter fixed lens, and provides 510-by-492 effective pixels. The CVC-627 has a high resolution of 420 horizontal TVL (TV lines), and achieves a S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio of 48 dB or better. Already extremely sensitive to light with a minimum illumination of 0.01 Lux to infinity, this camera has 12 built-in IR (InfraRed) LEDs (light emitting diodes) that allow it to receive a picture in total darkness (0 Lux) up to 45 feet away, as well as a CDS sensor that turns the IR illuminators on automatically when it gets dark. The SPECO CVC-627 operates on the NTSC TV scanning system, and includes a standard BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman) video output. This unit runs on 12-volts DC power and can operate in temperatures ranging from -14 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The CVC-627 comes complete with automatic gain control and back-light compensation, and a built-in automatic electronic shutter with speeds ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second. Technical Features: - S/N ratio: better than 48 dB
- Minimum illumination: 0.01 Lux to infinity; 0 Lux via IR LEDs to 45-feet
- Effective pixels: 510 by 492 pixels
- Horizontal resolution: 420 TVL
- Operating temperatures: -14 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit
- Dimensions: 2.75 x 3.65 inches (diameter x depth)
The SPECO CVC-627 camera provides you with a high-quality color picture from a camera that can go virtually anywhere, and deserves serious consideration as an addition to any severe-weather security system. The CVC-627 comes completely assembled and ready to use, and includes a 60-foot cable that allows you to place it virtually anywhere. Users should note that the CCD sensor may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light, so the camera should not be mounted or pointed directly at the sun or other bright-light sources. 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. What's in the Box

SPECO will not honor the product warranty |
I recently purchased this camera and to my surprise I discovered SPECO will not honor the warranty for any piece of their equipment purchased on-line. They only extend the warranty to distributors and according to their customer service organization; distributors don't and aren't allowed to sell Speco products on-line.
I wish Jas-store would have posted this fact before they offered this item for sale.

GREAAAAAT! |
|
Works absolutely as advertised. Night (Infrared) shots are not real bright but serve my purpose which is intruder detection. |

Can't go wrong for the price! |
I agree with the others here, the range at night is a bit limited if the area is in complete darkness but when one lives in the city that is usually not a problem. The wire from the camera terminates with a BNC connector but this cam will work with a standard TV. I suggest going to Radio Shack and get a BNC Female to Phono Plug Adapter
(Model: 278-250 | Catalog #: 278-250) along with a short cable with RCA male at one end and RCA female at the other end and you are good to go (Radio Shack also has this in a short length).
Ok, you have two of these great cam's and one TV, what are you going to do? I found a cheap way to automatically switch between up to 4 cams with the output of the switcher going to one TV. I found a Philips Automatic Video Selector and RF Modulator (MPN: PH61153) at WalMart (its not on their website you will have to go to the store) that, when set up correctly, will allow you to plug in up to four cam's and automatically cycle thru each input/cam every 5+ seconds (scan speed is adjustable). The PH61153 will skip any input that does not have something plugged into it so I can use it with just my two cams for now. The PH61153 was intended to automatically switch between video componets (DVD, VCR, DVR, etc) but for $24ish you can't go wrong. BTW: I have a second PH61153 and use it for its intended purpose of automatically switching between video componets.
You can't go wrong with this camera! I already have two and plan to get two more soon.

Very solid camera |
|
I got this to cover some blind spots around the front and side of our house. Color is real good and grandularity during the day is more than fine. During darkness, the night vision will only reachout about 15-20 ft. in total darkness. Like another reviewer mentioned, a light further out will help cover any weakness this may present. It seems to work well with the PC-4 card. You'll need a BNC cable connector as both ends are female. Having the 60 ft. of extra length is really nice and what seperates it from the other similar cameras in this class. Those only have a few feet which is why they are cheaper. You'll pay about the same with the extension cable that you may need to purchase with it. |

Good Price, Fair Product |
|
I had hoped to utilize the infrared features of this camera for night time security at my business. In the daytime, the color is good and the resolution is OK. At night I have found that the range is not as robust as specified and that the scenes are typically dark even though at fairly close range. This is a good low cost camera for fully or moderately lit locations. |
