The Lorex CVC-6990 B/W Submersible Camera is a high-quality and reliable camera designed for use in virtually any environment. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, this unit is constructed with a completely waterproof aluminum housing that has an IP68 protection rating. With a high-sensitivity to light and a high resolution, the Lorex CVC-6990 is perfect for security surveillance, or any other situation requiring 24-hour monitoring, in areas that are openly exposed to extremely inclement weather or at times are even under water.
This camera utilizes a 0.33-inch black-and-white Sony CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor, with up to 512 by 492 effective pixels. Built with a 3.6-millimeter fixed lens, the CVC-6990 has a high resolution of 420 horizontal TVL (TV lines), and is extremely light sensitive with a minimum illumination of 0.01. The IP68 (Ingress Protection) rating means this unit has a protection level of six against solid-body ingress, and a protection level of eight against the ingress of water. Six is the top protection level against solid bodies, meaning the CVC-6990 is certified dust proof. Eight is the top protection level against water, meaning this unit will protect your camera for long periods of immersion under pressure. The CVC-6990 features a built-in electronic auto-iris for automatic light compensation, and has a shutter speed ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second. This unit runs on 12-volt DC power, and has an operating temperature of five- to 131-degrees Fahrenheit.

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 Lux 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 Lux 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.
About Surveillance Camera Housings
Most video surveillance systems can be deployed for outside use when a proper camera housing is used. Key features for housings are a blower/fan to keep the camera cool in the summer, and a heater for the cold-weather months and to keep the glass from fogging up. Most housings can accept many types of security cameras. An outdoor dome housing is used for external mounting when tamper resistance or pan/tilt functionality is desired.
