Remmington Security 2155 Teddy Bear Table Lamp Security Camera with 2-channel Switcher

The 2155's 5-inch black-and-white picture-tube monitor provides you with a crisp, clear picture and includes an AC power adapter. This unit features a two-channel auto-switcher that allows it to support up to two cameras, and a built-in RCA audio/video jack that allows it to connect to a VCR or TV in seconds. The 2155's camera utilizes a 3.8-mllimeter wide-angle fixed-focus lens, and provides a good picture with a horizontal resolution of 350 TVL (TV lines). This unit also includes audio capability and built-in IR (infrared) sensors for night vision. Already great in low-light conditions with a minimum illumination of 0.5 Lux, this unit's IR illuminators allow for no-light viewing within a limited distance. The 2155's lamp uses a soft light that makes it great as a night-light that is controlled via an on/off pull chain, and includes a 60-foot connecting cable that allows you flexibility in placement.

Technical Features:

• Monitor: 5 inch B/W
• Camera lenses: 3.8 mm wide-angle fixed
• Sensitivity: 0.5 Lux to infinity; 0 Lux within limited distance
• Camera resolution: 350 horizontal TVL

About Surveillance Camera Technical Features
Lux rating is the measurement used to indicate how sensitive a camera is to light, and stands for the level of light reflected off a piece of paper by a candle from one meter away. Thus a sensitivity of three would mean a camera could generate an acceptable picture of a piece-of-paper-sized object that was illuminated by the equivalent of three candles from one meter away. The lower the level, the better the camera's ability to work in low-light conditions. The camera's resolution should be greater than or equal to the resolution supported by the system's recorder or monitor. The S/N, or signal to noise ratio, is an important measure of a camera's quality. A poor camera, low-light conditions or poor wiring causes "noise" which consumes processing power and disk space. A camera with a wide dynamic range is ideal, especially for recording areas in which both indoor and outdoor light are present. CCD (charge-coupled device) sensors provide high-quality images that are less susceptible to noise. CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors offer less image quality, but are usually more cost-effective and energy efficient.
