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. |
