™
The BU4 Series is Pelco’s entry-level integrated IR bullet
CCD camera. It uses a group of integrated infrared LEDs to deliver
high quality pictures, even at night with zero illumination.
The BU4 Series is a high resolution digital camera with 540 TVL of
resolution and a minimum of 0.2 lux illumination in color mode. With
the included IR supplemental lighting, the BU4 Series operates
under zero lux (monochrome mode). The camera uses automatic gain
control (AGC) to optimize the video signal.
The BU4 Series includes automatic white balance (AWB) for
difficult lighting situations and digital noise reduction (DNR) that
minimizes environment noise levels to produce clear image quality.
The BU4 Series has a rugged, outdoor design and an impact
resistance that meets the IK10 standard. The BU4 Series has a wide
operating temperature (–30° to 50°C), which makes it an ideal
solution for most rugged outdoor applications. The BU4 Series also
meets weathertight IP66 standards.
Typical applications for the BU4 Series include outdoor boundary
surveillance that has zero light at night and a need to supplement the
scene with IR light.
