The Lorex CVC2010P B/W CCD Ultra Compact Camera is an extremely discreet video surveillance camera. Designed with both a miniature size and a pinhole lens, this highly compact camera is both easy to conceal and can receive a picture through small holes. This camera not only provides high-quality images at high-resolutions with excellent light sensitivity, but does so in a completely hidden-from-view fashion. Easy to install, the Lorex CVC2010P is designed for primarily indoor use, but can be used in well-protected outdoor environments, and is perfect for secret surveillance at home, childcare, school or a small businesses.
This camera utilizes a 0.33-inch black-and-white interline-transfer CCD (charge-coupled device) sensor, with a resolution of 512-by-492 picture elements and 380 TVL (TV lines). The CVC2010P includes a 3.7-millimeter pinhole lens that allows the camera to view through a 0.0625-of-an-inch hole. Additionally, this camera lens can receive a picture down to a minimum illumination of 0.1 Lux. The unit's automatic electronic shutter, with an exposure time ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second, helps ensure an even higher picture quality. Constructed with a durable, black, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic housing this camera also includes a standard RCA connection for video output. The CVC2010P runs on a 12-volt DC power supply (included), and can operate in temperatures from 14- to 122-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.
