New PAL video camera, unboxing and prelimary setup
I got my new PAL camera. This is the unboxing and basic setup. Since I did this video, I switched to manual white balance and got the colors, brightness and contrast properly set using a PAL color calibration test card.
This has a much finer picture than my Panasonic WV-CP234 camera which this replaces. The old camera will be used for its original intended use. Surveillance video.
This new camera offers MANY nice features for the amateur and Professional alike. It offers Manual controls for: Shutter speed, Aperture, Focus (it isn't auto focus), White balance, Motion detect and Privacy Zones. (the last two features will not be of use to me but it has them. This also have several program modes: Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Auto White Balance.
This model is from Security Camera 2000 (r) and as far as I am concerned. it is a decent piece of equipment.
It uses CS mount lenses but with an adaptor ring can use a C mount lens as well. This model ONLY runs on 12VDC, there are converters, available on Ebay and other sites that can convert the power to use it on 24VAC if you need them.
This camera is AWSOME! and for the price I paid on Ebay, (about $50). It is worth every penny!. The company also sells NTSC models of this as well if you rather not use PAL. I believe they also have HD 1080i cameras with SDI/BNC outputs. The distributors website is: http://www.securitycamera2000.com
Here is the camera's website of the model I am using.: http://www.securitycamera2000.com/products/Indoor-Box-Camera-1%7B47%7D3-Inch-700TVL-SONY-EFFIO%252dE-DSP-CS-Lens-BNC-Output.html
