1/4" High-Resolution IT CCD
The high-resolution 1/4" Interline Transfer CCD with 380,000 effective pixels reproduces superbly detailed images in true color.

TOP

30fps Motion-JPEG (VGA)
The VN-C205U produces high-quality images in the Motion-JPEG format with a resolution of up to 640x480 pixels and a maximum frame rate of 30 fps. Any computer can be used to monitor and record the video stream.

TOP

Easy Day/Night Function
You can easily set the Easy Day/Night Function with the DIP switch. This funciton provides higher sensitivity for lower lx environment. When "D/N" switch is on, camera will automatically in Black and White mode when dark condition. Minimum illumination of the Day/Night Function is 0.9lx F1.2 (25IRE) that possible to get clear picture even under low illumination.

Normal at 1lx Day/Night at 1lx

TOP

Easy Setup and Installation
The VN-C205U uses an industrial standard 6" electrical box adapter that is easy to install, helping to reduce overall installation costs. image

TOP

Easy Focus Adjustment
Automatic iris override allows for accurate focus adjustment under difficult lighting conditions especially for low-light conditions. Easy DIP switch setting available.

TOP

CF Card Slot
The VN-C205U features a CF card slot that works in conjunction with the alarm function to allow automatic recording onto a CF card before or after the alarm triggers. JVC recommends the use of industrial version CF cards ranging from 128 MB to 1,024 MB.*
* Depends on the file size and/or object. CF card cannot record 30 fps.May not be compatible with certain CF cards; use of industrial version CompactFlash cards that JVC recommends.

TOP

Motion Detection Function
Alarms* can be activated based on motion within a defined area. Motion detection can also start video recording on an internal CF memory card or on a connected computer.
* The camera must be connected to alarm devices such as an annunciator, indicator, lamp or buzzer.

TOP

Backward Compatibility with Double Analog Outputs
In addition to being a superb IP network camera, the VN-C205U is a true hybrid camera, with high resolution analog outputs* for use with existing analog recording systems. An additional front-mounted RCA video output is convenient for initial camera setup.
* Without Line lock function
