Frequently asked questions

• What does 420 TV lines resolution mean for image quality?

  420 TV lines indicate horizontal resolution—the camera’s ability to reproduce fine details in the scene. This level of resolution provides clear, usable imagery for monitoring, inspection, and analysis in many industrial and security applications, especially when high-contrast monochrome imaging is advantageous.

• Is the camera RoHS compliant?

  Yes. The camera is RoHS compliant, aligning with modern environmental and manufacturing standards for electronics.

• What are typical uses for this camera?

  Its 1/3" CCD monochrome sensor, 420 TV line resolution, DSP processing, and single-board design make it well-suited for OEM assemblies, industrial process control, test and measurement setups, surveillance and security systems, law enforcement and military applications, as well as medical and scientific research environments requiring reliable monochrome imaging.

• What is the model of the camera module?

  The camera uses the single-board module designated V-1217-PCB-3.7, which is designed for straightforward integration into compact systems and custom enclosures.

• How does Auto Gain Control affect performance?

  Auto Gain Control automatically adjusts the camera’s sensitivity to maintain consistent brightness as lighting conditions change. This reduces flicker and noise, preserving important details across a range of illumination levels and improving reliability in dynamic environments.
