Hi Dennis
Separate packages.
The camera:-
A very compact colour CCD camera housed in a strong, black,
cylindrical aluminum housing. The camera is fully waterproof (IP67)
and can safely be used in covert positions outdoors and in. A
ball-jointed camera bracket is included.
Specification:
Element: 1/4 Toshiba CCD image sensor
No. of pixels: 512 x 582
Resolution: 330TV lines
Min illumination: 2lux, f2.0
Electronic shutter: 1/50 ~ 1/100,000sec
Lens: 3.6mm, f2.0
Power supply: 12Vdc, 130mA
Dimensions: 74 x 21.5mm
I have found another DC-DC voltage regulator which supposedly
regulates at 12V although when tested I was getting 12.5V from the
regulator but 12.9V was going in. I may try the solution with a 12V
Zener diode in series. Anyway I have hard-wired the regulator to the
end of a lead from an accessory socket plug.
Output in PAL (composite) format to my Sony Handycam TRV20E which
will act as a VCR and records on digital video tape. I have a 540
minute battery for this so that should be plenty long enough ;-) I
should be able to take a line from the accessory port of my Autocomm
to the audio in so I can add commentary as well. The regulator and
Handycam (VCR) will sit in my tank bag.
