Colour CCD 'snake camera'

The E-C470 is an innovative new product for covert video surveillance. The camera consists of a lens with the CCD as the head of the camera connected by 300 mm of cable to the camera's electronics. This allows the camera head to be an amazing size of only 11x11x14 mm (-3T model). For a CCD-based camera, this is very small, making it easy to conceal the head in a compact place with the 30 x 30 mm electronic board further along the cable elsewhere. The camera provides crisp sharp colour images in normal lighting conditions. Two models are available, one with a cone-shaped 3,7 mm pinhole lens and another with an ultra-fine 3,1 mm pinhole lens. There is a slight difference in sensitivity, with the 3,7 mm lens (-3C) allowing in more light and thus operating at lower lux levels.

Both cameras operate on 12 V d.c. and are fairly low in power consumption (70 mA). These cameras are supplied with a short cable terminated with a female RCA connector and a standard 2,1 mm DC socket.
