Amazon.com Product Description

The SPECO CVC-627 Waterproof Color Bullet Day/Night Camera with IR LEDs is great for any outdoor application. Constructed of durable waterproof aluminum, this camera comes with a removable sunshade that helps eliminate glare and can even operate fully submerged in water. Designed to provide a high-resolution picture even in low-light and no-light conditions, the SPECO CVC-627 is a great addition to any video surveillance system, especially in round-the-clock applications subject to inclement weather conditions.

This bullet camera utilizes a 0.25-inch color CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor with a 3.6-millimeter fixed lens, and provides 510-by-492 effective pixels. The CVC-627 has a high resolution of 420 horizontal TVL (TV lines), and achieves a S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio of 48 dB or better. Already extremely sensitive to light with a minimum illumination of 0.01 Lux to infinity, this camera has 12 built-in IR (InfraRed) LEDs (light emitting diodes) that allow it to receive a picture in total darkness (0 Lux) up to 45 feet away, as well as a CDS sensor that turns the IR illuminators on automatically when it gets dark. The SPECO CVC-627 operates on the NTSC TV scanning system, and includes a standard BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman) video output. This unit runs on 12-volts DC power and can operate in temperatures ranging from -14 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The CVC-627 comes complete with automatic gain control and back-light compensation, and a built-in automatic electronic shutter with speeds ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second.

Technical Features:

S/N ratio: better than 48 dB
Minimum illumination: 0.01 Lux to infinity; 0 Lux via IR LEDs to 45-feet
Effective pixels: 510 by 492 pixels
Horizontal resolution: 420 TVL
Operating temperatures: -14 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit
Dimensions: 2.75 x 3.65 inches (diameter x depth)

The SPECO CVC-627 camera provides you with a high-quality color picture from a camera that can go virtually anywhere, and deserves serious consideration as an addition to any severe-weather security system. The CVC-627 comes completely assembled and ready to use, and includes a 60-foot cable that allows you to place it virtually anywhere. Users should note that the CCD sensor may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light, so the camera should not be mounted or pointed directly at the sun or other bright-light sources.

About Surveillance Camera Technical Features
Lux rating is the measurement used to indicate how sensitive a camera is to light, and stands for the level of light reflected off a piece of paper by a candle from one meter away. Thus a sensitivity of three Lux would mean a camera could generate an acceptable picture of a piece-of-paper-sized object that was illuminated by the equivalent of three candles from one meter away. The lower the Lux level, the better the camera's ability to work in low-light conditions. The camera's resolution should be greater than or equal to the resolution supported by the system's recorder or monitor. The S/N, or signal to noise ratio, is an important measure of a camera's quality. A poor camera, low-light conditions or poor wiring causes "noise" which consumes processing power and disk space. A camera with a wide dynamic range is ideal, especially for recording areas in which both indoor and outdoor light are present. CCD (charge-coupled device) sensors provide high-quality images that are less susceptible to noise. CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors offer less image quality, but are usually more cost-effective and energy efficient.

GREAAAAAT!.......2007-07-12

Works absolutely as advertised. Night (Infrared) shots are not real bright but serve my purpose which is intruder detection.

Can't go wrong for the price!.......2007-06-10

I agree with the others here, the range at night is a bit limited if the area is in complete darkness but when one lives in the city that is usually not a problem. The wire from the camera terminates with a BNC connector but this cam will work with a standard TV. I suggest going to Radio Shack and get a BNC Female to Phono Plug Adapter
(Model: 278-250 | Catalog #: 278-250) along with a short cable with RCA male at one end and RCA female at the other end and you are good to go (Radio Shack also has this in a short length).

Ok, you have two of these great cam's and one TV, what are you going to do? I found a cheap way to automatically switch between up to 4 cams with the output of the switcher going to one TV. I found a Philips Automatic Video Selector and RF Modulator (MPN: PH61153) at WalMart (its not on their website you will have to go to the store) that, when set up correctly, will allow you to plug in up to four cam's and automatically cycle thru each input/cam every 5+ seconds (scan speed is adjustable). The PH61153 will skip any input that does not have something plugged into it so I can use it with just my two cams for now. The PH61153 was intended to automatically switch between video componets (DVD, VCR, DVR, etc) but for $24ish you can't go wrong. BTW: I have a second PH61153 and use it for its intended purpose of automatically switching between video componets.

You can't go wrong with this camera! I already have two and plan to get two more soon.

Very solid camera.......2007-01-18

I got this to cover some blind spots around the front and side of our house. Color is real good and grandularity during the day is more than fine. During darkness, the night vision will only reachout about 15-20 ft. in total darkness. Like another reviewer mentioned, a light further out will help cover any weakness this may present. It seems to work well with the PC-4 card. You'll need a BNC cable connector as both ends are female. Having the 60 ft. of extra length is really nice and what seperates it from the other similar cameras in this class. Those only have a few feet which is why they are cheaper. You'll pay about the same with the extension cable that you may need to purchase with it.

Good Price, Fair Product.......2006-11-14

I had hoped to utilize the infrared features of this camera for night time security at my business. In the daytime, the color is good and the resolution is OK. At night I have found that the range is not as robust as specified and that the scenes are typically dark even though at fairly close range. This is a good low cost camera for fully or moderately lit locations.

good camera.......2006-07-11

good camera and good price. I can see probably 30' in the dark and if I put a light at 60' I can see something too, like something is moving. Very nice colors during the day time

Great little mp3 player.......2005-02-27

I received this mp3 player for Christmas, so I've only had it for 2 months, but... so far so good!

Headphones- mine haven't broken (yet) but I like them because they are the earbud sytle, and the right cord part is longer so you can wrap it around the back of your neck. I do not think the sound quality from these headphones is too bad. If you're a music fanatic, then you may want better ones.

Battery situation- it takes one AAA, but this thing eats batteries. After loading my songs in, I got about 8 hours of play before I had to replace the battery. After buying a couple of packs of AAA batteries, I got disgusted and bought rechargables. I would advise you to do this as well if you're gonna get this player.

Backlight- very useful for dark bus rides in the morning, the blue light goes off after 10 seconds, but goes back on for a few seconds if you touch any button. You can also change the settings to make it stay on longer, if you want.

General setup- pretty simple to understand (always a good thing). There is on main dial- up for volume up, down for volume down, left and right to change trakcs, etc. To turn it off you have to hold a button for a couple seconds (which is good if you tend to accidently bump the off button on things) There is a hold function so it doesn't play accidently in your bag and waste your batteries.

Song playing- I've had the thing on "shuffle" since I've got it, seems to work for me. You can also go to the "navigate" thing and find any song quickly. Apparently you can do something with playlists but I don't know how. (lol)

Downloading songs- Downloading is pretty quick- about 3- 5 seconds per song, I would guess. I can fit 60- 70 songs on it, depending on the length of the songs.

Radio- the radio doesn't work great for me; only a couple stations come in, and they are a bit fuzzy.

Voice recorder- I haven't tried this yet, but I'm sure it's cool.

Other- don't drop this thing, because I did once and now there are weird little twitchy noises when a song is not playing. Not a big deal, just a little annoying.

Overall, it's a reliable, fun mp3 player, great for the price IMO. If you can't afford an Ipod and don't need to store hundreds of songs, then this is a great alternative.

Bad Design.......2005-01-30

This MP3 Player uses a AAA battery. This is a terrible design decision. It severely curtails play life (by 1/3 to 1/2 compared to a AA) while the batteries themselves are not significantly cheaper than AA's. I have also had a hard time finding rechargeable AAA's compared to AA's. And while it sounds trivial, it is NOT minor that AAA batteries disappear much more easily that AA batteries at almost 3x the size. I bought 4 rechargeables shortly after getting this. A month later, 2 have disappeared. Did I mention AAA batteries are not notably cheaper than AA's?<br /> Dont buy this.

great at first..........2005-01-05

I purchased this player because it was a good deal for a 256MB player with a radio. The player worked fantastic at first, the size of the player is definitely a plus. However, after the second time that I tried to change the songs on the player, the port that the computer cable plugs into broke. I was unable to change songs after this, when I exchanged the player the computer would not recognize the new player, despite reinstalling software, etc. I would recommend seeking out another player if you intend on using this player on a daily basis. (The headphones also broke after a week.)

Good buy at the time.......2004-12-31

Got a good deal on this at the time. The player is good for WMA and MP3, but the FM radio is weak. The main station near me is so strong, the unit cannot differ between other stations.

The other issue is that you cannot set up a play list externally from the player. You must download the files to the player then set up the play list. Not that this is bad, but I want it all! You can name the file alphabetically to get the list in a good order.

Overall it seems to be a good unit. I still do not like having to tote around the USB cable, but 10 hours of music, well I don't change it that often.

Great MP3 for the price!.......2004-09-25

I recently purchased this MP3 player to take with me on my daily runs. I had looked at the iPod and although I am sure it is a great MP3 player I just couldn't see spending all that $$ on one. So, I bought this one with the convenience of it fitting comfortably in my hand. It works perfectly, is easy to install and use, and the battery life lasts a long time. Also, it holds plenty of songs (my husband also takes it with him to the gym). The only bad thing about it is that the headphones that it comes with are a bit cheap and created a static-y sound after a few days so I recommend you buy better headphone. Enjoy it, I do!!! I couldn't have gotten a better deal or MP3 player. Thanks!
