DVCCMNV854 - Long Range Weather Proof IR Camera Varifocal

The DVCCMNV854 Long Range Weatherproof IR Camera Varifocal can focus in on an object that is half the length of a football field away. For a surveillance camera, the size is huge. It weighs 5 pounds and has been compared to the size of human head, but with a pair of eyes that can see much farther.

This infrared camera by Atrix, Inc. can be easily incorporated into a surveillance system for both professional and commercial use. That’s because the camera gives you 540 razor sharp TV lines of color resolution and with 30 high powered LEDs, you can see up to 185 feet away in pure darkness.

The DVCCMNV854 has an integrated 8 to 40 millimeter auto-iris lens with external zoom and focus controls that will help get the best shot from any angle. This means that the camera's lens can be adjusted anywhere between 8 millimeters and a whopping 40 millimeters to achieve the desired field of view (FOV).

The camera has an image sensor designed by Sony that utilizes CCD (charged couple device) technology. The 1/3 inch Sony Color CCD image sensor is used to capture light (or optical image) and convert it into electrical signals, making for a more dynamic picture.

Scott on 1/8/2009, said: This camera has a lot more range and clarity than the VC-CA-IR120 cameras I bought. I bought the DVCCMNV854 from another website (glad to see the camera is now available here). The only draw back is the bracket is not long enough to mount on the side of a house to reach around and face forward. You have to mount this camera bracket on the same side you want to record, with the camera pointed straight forward (less covert). The VC-CA-IR120 brackets are the perfect length.

I noted that no size was given in its description, that's because it's almost the size of E.T.'s head. This is a great camera to be mounted on top of a building to view another city. The widest shot that it can achieve is still too far zoomed in for what I need. I have this mounted on roof of a three story compound watching a motorpool accross the street and I can barley have any coverage. If you get this camera, make sure your focal point is a few blocks away. Other than that, the picture is awesome day and night; practically color at night; it's always the first camera to pick up true color as the sun comes up.

At 8mm focal length, mounted at about 20ft high and pointed down at an angle, this camera covers an area about 20 feet away to about 120ft. In this configuration, the center of the viewing area is illuminated in color at night due to the size and quantity of its IR LEDs. Great long range coverage day/night. Picture quality is excellent, although smaller details aren't as clear the greater the distance regardless of the 540 lines of resolution. Too bad this camera doesn't come in a more standard 3mm-8mm focal length configuration. Was this comment helpful? yes no   (5 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) Showing comments 1-3 of 3
