The VK-U174 (NTSC) is a RoHS-Compliant ultra-compact chassis-type camera that weighs in at around 3.5 ounces. About the size of your little finger in length, small this new camera may be, but it’s no lightweight when it comes to performance and functionality.
Environmentally Friendly
With this new RoHS-Compliant model, make your organization environmentally conscious. The VK-U174 enables you to not only monitor your environment but also help preserve it.
Mirror Image Function
The mirror image function enables reversing the field of view depending on the camera?s position.
Privacy Zone Masking Function
When there are windows, entrances and other objects within the camera's vision that are not subject to surveillance, they can be masked on the monitor for protection of privacy.
Digital Slow Shutter (D.S.S.)
The Digital Slow Shutter allows the camera a long exposure time of 1/1 second (manual cont.). This translates into a higher sensitivity and minimum illumination of only 0.1 lx (color, 1/4s). Since more color data is captured and stored by the camera, you can see things not visible with conventional video cameras.
Remote Control through RS-232C
Remote operations are possible via the RS-232C, which allows control of the camera?s focus, iris, zoom, shutter speed and so on. Use this connection for peace of mind monitoring at remote locations.
Antivibration Function
Internal rubber cushioning positioned at four points on the lens enable the VK-U174 to take smooth footage?even when used in moving vehicles.
