with 440,000 pixels

The TK-AM200U has an advanced
1/4-inch CCD with 380,000 pixels,
providing 470 TV Lines of horizontal
resolution. Exceptional sensitivity means
the TK-AM200U achieves excellent
picture quality at ambient light levels as
low as 4 lux with cover on and 1.5 lux
with cover removed.

䡲 Auto Patrol Mode

The TK-AM200U features a powerful Auto
Patrol Mode, for use with the RM-P2580
CCTV system remote controller, which
provides one Preset Sequence Mode
(Auto Patrol) setting and 16 Presets for
surveillance coverage of a designated
area by random or sequential panning.
That means you can set up high-speed
camera movements between multiple
preset positions in the sequence and the
time intervals that are suitable for your
application.

䡲 Panic Alarm

You can interlock operation of the
TK-AM200U with peripheral alarm
equipment via Data I/O terminals. With
the Alarm Priority mode selected, the
RM-P2580 interrupts the programmed
operation automatically and the scene for
which the alarm signal is received is
captured by the camera.

䡲 2x Electronic Zoom

With an integrated large-aperture 2x
electronic zoom lens, the TK-AM200U
lets you focus on the action.

䡲 Electronic Shutter

The TK-AM200U has a precision­engineered electronic shutter with a
selectable shutter speed of 1/50 and
1/60 sec., which reduces flicker caused
by fluorescent lighting in areas where the
commercial power supply frequency is
50 Hz.

䡲 TTL Auto White Balance

The TK-AM200U features JVC’s TTL
Auto White Balance (ATW), which
automatically adjusts for light within a
color temperature range from 2,500K to
8,000K. Manual adjustment is also
possible for special operating conditions.

䡲 Wide Viewing Angle

The TK-AM200U features seamless
60 degrees panning and 60 degrees
tilting with coverage over an angle of
145 degrees (panning) and 125 degrees
(tilting). Maximum panning and tilting
speed is 120 degrees per second for
tracking fast-moving subjects.

TK-AM200U can receive one
alarm signal directly, then an alarm
signal received. It shoots alarm
preset position. The alarm position
can be set by PC with sample
software (no warranty).

䡲 Menu-driven Parameter Settings

Simple menu-driven operations let you
set key parameters including AV/PEAK
level, Color level, Enhance level,
W.Balance, AGC level, and L.L. phase.

䡲 RS-232C, RS-422A and RS-485 Interface

The TK-AM200U comes with an RS-232C
and RS-422A terminal to control external
components. The unit’s RS-485
connection allows cascaded connection
of cameras.

䡲 Backlight Compensation

Backlight Compensation delivers a
realistic sense of depth around a subject
in the foreground by filling the
background, which prevents silhouetting.
