The Pecan miniature range of cameras available from Stortech Electronics has been designed where unobtrusive monitoring is required. Around the size of a 50p piece, these cameras are ideal for a wide variety of situations and can be installed in clockfaces, in suitcases, doors, on bookshelves or for general discreet monitoring purposes. Their small size also means that they will easily blend in with the surrounding environment.
The cameras are available with monochrome or colour output options, each providing excellent quality even at low light levels.
These extremely lightweight cameras are PCB based and are housed in a robust cast aluminium case including a mounting bracket.
With a low current consumption of between 80-135mA, these miniature cameras come complete with an electronic iris that automatically adjusts itself to varying light conditions; contrast is thus continually optimised to provide the best image.
How much each camera sees will depend upon the type of lens fitted.
All Pecan miniature cameras are available with lens options of 2.9, 3.6, 6, 8 and 12mm.
The monochrome cameras are ideal for seeking out information in lower light levels because of their light sensitivity, requiring a minimum of only 0.1-0.2Lux.
The PCAM and UCAM monochrome cameras measure only 24mm square and the MCAM colour camera measures 34mm x 34mm.
All cameras provide a composite video output signal of 1V peak to peak at 75ohm and require only 12V DC power to the input.
