enhanced LoLux sensitivity, and convenient day/night function.

Packed with JVC’s latest technology, this all-in-one camera solution not only
delivers outstanding image performance with 540 TVL horizontal resolution, it
also boasts a new easy-to-install mechanism for plug & play setup, to reduce
total price including installation costs. As a full-spec camera, the TK-C205E(A)
comes with all the high-performance features you expect, including
Super LoLux sensitivity, colour matrix, high signal-to-noise ratio, and flexible
power supply (AC 24 V/DC 12 V). And, thanks to the Easy day/night function,
which automatically switches to B&W mode in low-light situations, you are
assured optimum imaging performance 24 hours a day.

Easy day/night function

TK-C205E(A) automatically uses colour mode when the subject is bright, and B&W mode
when it is very dark. In B&W mode, AGC is always active to achieve high performance
even in low light situations.

Built-in revolutionary DSP

JVC’s innovative DSP automatically adjusts camera parameters to ensure that sharp and
natural pictures of 540 TV lines horizontal resolution combine with high quality
performance.

1/4" High resolution IT CCD with 440,000 effective pixels

TK-C205E(A) comes with a 1/4" interline transfer CCD for accurate colour reproduction
and signal-to-noise ratio of 50 dB (AGC off).

Detail corrections — horizontal and vertical (2H)

TK-C205E(A) provides dual-edged detail correction — horizontal and vertical with 2H
line memory.

Automatic gain control (AGC)

With Super LoLux sensitivity, as ambient light level falls, Automatic gain control (AGC)
increases the camera’s sensitivity to 2.4 lx (Colour mode).
