2. Product information
Most CCD Colour cameras, even of high quality, show very poor performance when they are working under strong
backlight conditions. However, by using of Double Speed Sony CCD (Progressive Scan) and SS-2 chip set, as in the
VKC-1334/VAR49, this problem will be solved. The Double Speed CCD reads both bright and dark areas separately
at the same time and after that the different exposures will be combined to one image by the Wide Dynamic chip
CX3151. That's why, even though there it is very bright light or spotlights on the object, the picture will remain very
sharp without any blooming and smear. Furthermore true Day and Night function, using a removable IR cut filter
and a day/night lens with no focus shift, a real 24hrs. monitoring with clear image both at day and night can be
realized, if the camera was optimized according to the application.
