BW-5HS DSP (digital signal processing) CCD exposed board camera module with Sony SuperHAD 1/3" imager. 3.7mm sharpnose wide angle pinhole lens included installed.

It's also compatible with all consumer VCRs as well as most television sets (those with standard composite RCA or BNC inputs).

Profile:

What a great little unit. Don't confuse this with most similar-looking cameras you'll see out there- many of which are terrible in comparison. The technical specifications (specs) haven't changed in over 3 years - but the performance sure has! The same "430+ horizontal TV lines / 0.05 lux" cam now has an overall sharper picture capable of performing in lower light situations than even the last revision version. A super choice for stationary applications- whether for covert / hidden / disguised purposes..... or just general video use. With the newly revised 1/3" Sony SuperHAD DSP (digital signal processing) CCD imager chipset- this features identical picture quality to our other enclosed case BW-5HAD configurations, as well as the exposed board BW-1HAD.

We carry ONLY the LATEST and BEST in CCTV chipset technology and circuit board engineering (both aspects are critical to produce a high quality CCD camera)!
 
Common Applications:

• General covert / disguised use as it easy to hide behind many types of materials, including fabric for clothing
• Economical indoor security solutions
• Onboard vehicle use including security and backup purposes
• OEM & scientific / machine purposes

Available Options:

DELUXE 7 piece bonus accessory kit included FREE with each camera ordered! ($60+ value) Features 25 ft. video + power cable which can be upgraded to 50', 100' or even 150' in your choice of black or white color!


Variations / Alternate Equipment to Consider:

If the highest resolution covert imaging is required- you may want to consider the use of our high resolution #BW-5HR camera instead of this one. This camera uses the latest Sony® high resolution/ low light Ex-View technology for superior resolution (600 TV lines).

We have an exposed board module version of this camera, the #BW-1HAD. Though the board width/ height is a few millimeters larger than the enclosed case metal versions, this camera weighs less and slightly lower in profile. Also, the video/ power cable comes straight down from the bottom of the camera- rather than attached to a 90° plug at the rear. This may allow for easier covert use in certain (esp. clothing/ body worn) applications.

Though not covert, we also carry the #BW-5HM with interchangeable board lenses available (2.45mm, 2.97mm, 6mm, 8mm, 12mm, 16mm), as well as the the BW-5VF, which features a built-in 4-8mm adjustable focus zoom lens.


Cautions:

This is a non-weatherproof camera, and as such- must be treated with extra care and NEVER left outdoors without the proper protective housings.

Fixed pinhole lens is not interchangeable like many of our board-type lens cameras.
