Why CCD Cameras?
CCD and CMOS imagers
were both invented in the late 1960s and 1970s (DALSA founder and CEO
Dr. Savvas Chamberlain was a pioneer in developing both technologies).
CCD became the preferred and dominant technology, primarily because it
gave far superior images with fabrication technology economically
available. CMOS image sensors required more uniformity and smaller
features.
Most of the cameras that are sold on eBay are CMOS cameras. CCD
Cameras are usually twice the
price and the pictures are up to 10 times
clearer, brighter and more colorful.
Varifocal Adjustment of
Field of Vision
We ship this camera
with a 3.5mm to 8mm Varifocal lens with manual iris. This will give
you a very wide choice of field of visions, from 40 to 96 degrees.
What
is a Varifocal Camera?
The
Varifocal Lens will allow you to manually adjust between a 3.5mm and
an 8mm lens setting during installation.
The higher the lens is set at, the narrower the field of vision, and
the more zoom effect there is. Subjects will appear closer and you
will have more detail.
The lower
the lens is set at, the wider the field of vision, therefore the
greater the area will be seen and the subjects you are viewing appear
farther away.
Having a
Varifocal lens allows you to fine tune this angle in just a few
seconds, at the time the camera is installed and mounted.
Range: 3.5-8mm (Adjust
from 40 degrees to 96 degrees)
What Does Lens Focal Length
Mean?
The Focal Length
determines the field of vision. The smaller the focal length, the
wider the field of vision.

Take a look at the images below.
Look how the church seems to zoom in as the size of the lens is
changed.
The camera is the same distance from
the church in each photo.
By manually adjusting the lens at the back of the camera, a person can
zoom in on the subject. Notice the sides of the street show less and
less the more the camera zooms.
The principle is to adjust for the greatest
amount of zoom effect, and therefore the most detail, and still cover
the width of the field of vision desired.
A chart below the photos shows the
actual width of the field of vision at different lens settings and at
different distances.
These are photos taken outside. This camera is an inside
camera, but the laws of focal length and zoom power are the same
inside or out.
One of the most important
features of a box camera is the rating of the image sensor's ability to
discern detail under extremely low light conditions.
During the day the
amount of illumination reaching a scene depends on the time of day and
atmospheric conditions. Direct sunlight produces the
highest-contrast scene, allowing maximum identification of objects.
On a cloudy or overcast day, less light is received by the objects in
the scene, resulting in less contrast. To produce an optimum camera
picture under the wide variation in light level (such as occurs when
the sun is obscured by clouds), an automatic-iris camera system is
required.
Typically, scene illumination measured in foot-candles
(ftcd) can vary over a range of 10,000 to 1 (or more), which
exceeds the operating range of most cameras for producing good quality
video images.
The chart below summarizes the light levels occurring
under daylight and these low light level conditions. The equivalent
metric measure of light level (lux) compared with the English (ftcd)
is given.
This box camera, being an inside
camera ranks among the very best in that it has a lux rating of .3.
This is the light equivalent of a Half Moon.
