DESCRIPTION
The EX7/8 Ceiling or Wall Mount Camera features one
or two CCD sensors to view “coming and going” images.
This is ideal for use in prison corridors, school hallways
and underground parking garages. The camera is
extremely durable due to its welded metal housing
shape and polycarbonate viewing windows. The EX7/8
is also weatherproof, making it perfect for outdoor use.
Cameras are available in monochrome & color.
Voltage regulator circuits automatically allow 12V dc or
24V ac operation without any wiring changes. Its’ wider
voltage range also provides protection from voltage
surge, transient spikes, and reverse voltage.
The difference between the EX7 and the EX8 is the EX7
Camera is a single sensor version and the EX8 is a dual
sensors version.
