PART 1 GENERAL
1.01 SUMMARY
A. Section includes: One third inch CMOS Internet Protocol (IP) surveillance camera capable of dual
codec/dual resolution stream output with automatic color to black and white switching, and wide
dynamic range by image adaptation technology.
B. Related Requirements:
Specifier Note: Projects may vary in scope and complexity; as such it is important to identify those sections which may
have an impact on system operation or integrity. Closed circuit television systems often interface or integrate with other
building systems. Within certain projects communication and electrical cabling may often be related to requirements
found in the overall building wiring requirements. Edit or revise those sections as required for specific project or are
specification practices. It is important these sections be reviewed and addressed if the project warrants or are
specification practices. Contact a JVC Representative for further assistance.
