scenes in total darkness and in some conditions of smoke, dust 
and fog.  Unlike many of the low-light security cameras, the 
TSC4500 does not require any kind of IR illuminator or any 
visible light.  

 

The TSC4500 camera operates with a 9-30 Volt DC.  
 
The TSC4500 camera offers an optional interface cable design 
that comes in a variety of lengths, 3ft, 15ft and 30ft, to allow 
the customer to integrate into their system. 
 
L-3 IP also offers an optional breakout interface cable to 
operate the TSC4500 camera.  This cable facilitates the user 
for bench top checkout and also to power the camera with a 
24VAC power converter kit available from L-3 IP to be 
compatible with most CCTV setups. The interface cable has 
flying leads (wires) for power, video on a BNC output, and a 
serial connector for RS-232 communication.   
 
The optional 24VAC power converter accessory allows the 
user the flexibility to easily install the camera into the many 
existing CCTV systems that use 24VAC.  The 24VAC 
converter can be used in a user’s junction box with the 
standard interface cable or placed inside a weatherized 
enclosure.  
 
The TSC4500 camera model is rated IP67 and has an optional 
shroud cover compatible for outdoor solar shielding use. 
 
The TSC4500 camera model has an accessory Developer’s Kit 
that allows access by the user through the RS-232 Interface 
I/O to the following discrete controls: 

 

Polarity (WHT, BHT) 

 

E-zoom (1X, 2X etc.)

 

 

Shutter (the TSC

4500

 has a bi-phase shutter that can be 

commanded “closed’ to protect the FPA detector to 
solar exposure when power is OFF) & touch-up
