SSNR (Samsung Super Noise
Reduction)
By using built-in SSNR function manufactured
by SAMSUNG TECHWIN, the amount of low
illuminance noise has been significantly
reduced, and the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) as
well as horizontal resolution have been
improved, resulting in a clear and sharp image
display even in the dark.
Clear image quality has been achieved by
employing a CCD with 410,000 pixels(NTSC),
470,000 pixels (PAL), which provides a
horizontal resolution of 530 TV lines.
Electronic DAY & NIGHT
This camera has a function that electronically
selects the mode that is appropriate for
daytime or night-time conditions.
The COLOR mode operates in daytime
conditions to provide optimum colors, and BW
mode operates in night-time conditions to
enhance the definition of the image.
VIDEO/DC Drive Lens
The video drive lens and the DC drive lens can
be selected by the touch of a switch.
Controlled by OSD Menu
The camera can be controlled by selecting
text displayed on the monitor screen.
