1/4" IT CCD with 25x Optical Zoom

A high-resolution 1/4" interline transfer
CCD with IR cut filter 
captures scenes in realistic color,
while the zoom functions (25x 
o 10x electronic) provide
excellent detail when and where it 
is needed.

Extended Dynamic Range (ExDR)

Bright areas of a scene are shot with a high-speed shutter while dark
areas receive normal exposure. Both sets of data are then combined
to create a single, well-balanced image with light and dark areas perfectly
exposed – another JVC innovation that makes a visible difference.

Sensitivity & Nighttime Shooting

Even with light levels of just 0.6 lx, the VN-C655U(B) can shoot high-
quality color pictures thanks to Super LoLux

technology. And at night

the mechanical IR cut filter can be automatically retracted for infrared
imaging (monochrome), making the camera sensitive enough to shoot
in just 0.06 lx of ambient light.

Versatile Camera Control

Highly sophisticated control of camera movements 
is enabled with such features as 360-degree 
endless panning and Auto Flip (ensuring no 
blind spots), variable pan/tilt speeds, Auto Pan 
and Auto Patrol with 100 preset positions, 
Privacy Masking (to protect selected areas from
intrusive monitoring), and Auto Tour (to replay
manual camera operations). 

30fps Motion-JPEG (VGA)

The high-quality images are output as Motion-JPEG format with resolution
up to 640x480 pixels and a maximum frame rate of 30fps. Any computer
on the network can be used to monitor and store this video stream,
and a future upgrade to add Internet capability to the VN-C655U(B)
will allow remote access from virtually anywhere in the world.

Distribution Control Setting

The bit rate (32kbps to 8Mbps) can be set by turning the Distribution
Control setting on. This allows the camera to maintain the preset
frame rate (max. 30fps*) and file size by automatically changing the
compression level according to the bit rate.

* Max. 30fps may not be obtained depending on the file size.
