The Lorex SG6080 Weatherproof Color Camera System with Listen-in Audio is a high-quality and reliable camera designed for use in virtually any situation. Ideal in both indoor and outdoor environments, this unit is protected by a weatherproof ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic housing, and includes a built-in microphone for listen-in audio. With good light sensitivity and resolution, the Lorex SG6080's small size lends itself to discreet applications and is suitable for home, office, or business security--especially in areas that are openly exposed to inclement weather.
This camera utilizes a 0.25-inch color CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) image sensor, with up to 512 by 492 effective picture elements. Built with a 3.7-millimeter fixed lens, the SG6080 has a resolution of 240 horizontal TVL (TV lines). For use during the day, evening, and in low-light conditions, the SG6080 has a minimum illumination of two Lux. The included A/V (audio/video) connector allows this camera to easily connect to any standard TV or VCR, though you will need an RF modulator for devices without A/V inputs. The SG6080 is metallic-grey in color, and has an operating temperature of 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.
