Compact Color Camera Kits and

Single Gang Mountable Cameras

The VCAM-1 and VCAM-1IR are high resolution color composite video cameras. Their compact
size will allow mounting in even the smallest locations. The extreme temperature rating of this cam­era, makes it ideal for mounting in outdoor locations in a water tight enclosure.

The VCAM-2 is a compact, high resolution color composite video camera mounted behind a stan­dard single gang wall plate. The VCAM-2 is available in two finishes: Brushed Stainless Steel
(VCAM-2-SS) and Oil Rubbed Bronze (VCAM-2-BN). The extreme temperature rating and
Enhanced Weather Protection make this camera ideal for mounting
in outdoor locations.

The VCAM-1 is not compatible with IR illuminators and is a direct
replacement for the cameras included in the following Viking models: AES-2005, E-35, E-50,
E-65, E-75, K-1205, K-1705-3 and W-3005.

The VCAM-1IR has a day/night OLP (optical low pass) filter and is compatible with standard
840-850nM IR illuminators. The VCAM-1IR is the same size as the VCAM-1 allowing it to be
used in all of the above Viking products.

All cameras are equipped with Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) for outdoor installations
where the unit is exposed to precipitation or condensation. The VCAM-1, VCAM-1IR and
VCAM-2 feature sealed connections, as well as an epoxy potted circuit board.
