The SDC-415 ensures high resolution colour images down to an 0.3Lux @ F1.2 in daytime and when light levels fall even to a certain level the camera automatically switches to monochrome mode. The unit boasts outstanding sensitivity of as low as 0.002Lux for excellent low light operations in colour using Sens-up function(max. 128X)
When lighting levels are low the SSNR dramatically reduces both random and fixed noise and at the same time produces a high signal to noise ratio and no ghost effect. In simple terms the result is clear sharpe images, even in the most severe lighting conditions. The absence of any "ghost" effect, that is normally quite common in low light conditions, offers a higher level of identification - a big plus where, for example there is a requirement to recognize number plates. An additional benefit of this technology is the reduced file size of recorded images, thus a DVR's recorded file size is dramatically reduced by 70% when using a MPEG format and by 40% when using a JPEG format.
