MegaFlood CCD Security Camera Highlights
Better Resolution for a higher quality image
The Swann Mega Flood features an incredible 1/3-inch CCD image sensor -- a resolution of 420 TV Lines or 512 x 582 (PAL), 510 x 492 (NTSC).
About CCD CCD stands for Charge Coupled Device, which is used as a type of image sensor, CCD sensors are high quality sensors that are commonly used in portable camcorders and similar video equipment. CCD sensors can usually handle more variation in light conditions than CMOS and are more sensitive so will work better in low and variable light conditions.
Spectacular Night Vision The Infra-Red LEDs can project IR light that is invisible to the human eye but can be seen by the Swann MegaFlood Camera to a distance ranging to 160ft / 50 metres. With a small amount of ambient light, such as street lighting and house lighting the distance can be extended.
Infra-Red Night Vision allows cameras to see in the dark, It is the method of using IR LEDs (Infra-Red Light Emitting Diodes) as illumination for a camera with a sensor that can see infra-red light provides the illumination needed to capture clear images in total darkness or low-light conditions.
Infra-Red light is part of the light spectrum that is not visible to the human eye. Where there is insufficient visible light to see an object a Swann Mega Flood camera automatically activates its IR mode and sees the light from the IR LEDs using its IR image sensor. The resulting image is displayed as a black and white picture on your screen.
Weather Resistant The Swann MegaFlood Camera is housed in a robust, durable metallic silver casing. Use the camera indoors (for viewing inside rooms) or outdoors (to view your property from outside, as the MegaFlood can withstand climates from -4°F - 122°F (-20°C - 50°C). It is recommended that you keep the camera shielded from direct sun, rain, extreme temperatures, snow and gusty winds.

TIPS IN SETTING UP YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM Please find the below handy setup tips for your security system:
- For best results do NOT point the camera towards a light source such as the sun or light.
- Also do not have the camera in a shaded area looking out into a well lit area as this will display poor results. Example: If the camera is hidden in a mailbox, because the mailbox is dark inside the camera sensor will try to adjust according to the available light. But if outside the mailbox there is good light like sunshine, you will get poor results. The light to the camera sensor in the front of the camera needs to be the same as the light at the focal target for best results.
- Power for Wired and Wireless Cameras, both types of cameras require a power source, although the camera maybe weatherproof the connections to the AV cable and power adapter are not. Please make sure that these connections are in a water or moisture free environment.
- Over time the lens or front case glass may become dirty, please use a lint free cloth to clean both. Similar cloth that would be used to clean a CD Disc.
- Power adapters: all power adapters are for indoor use only and must be shielded from outdoor elements. When using an outdoor camera, please use extension cords to power the camera and keep cables away from the outdoor elements.
- When installing the camera, before screwing in the mounting bracket, check the image on the screen to see if the picture is clear from direct sun or light.
Very Clean Picture, Telephoto
This camera delivers a much cleaner picture than cheaper board cameras. Color is very good. It remains in color mode until lighting is very dim, then the IR works very well and is not snowy.
Note that the lens is telephoto 16mm, meaning it has a narrow angle of view and gives a good close-up image of objects far away.
Comes with mounting hardware, power supply, and extender cable.
