The picture shown above shows a bracket, which is not included with this camera. You can purchase the bracket separately or choose from a selection of brackets suitable for a variety of purposes. Click here to see a full selection of security camera brackets.

For people who operate parking facilities, and property managers interested in monitoring visitors and traffic, license plate capture can be an important forensic tool if an incident occurs. You need the ability to capture clear, sharp video images of small targets on vehicles that are often in motion. The long range varifocal lens together with the video processing system in the ECL-640 security camera is designed to do just that.

We put a strong 1/3" format color Sony® CCD video sensor behind a 5-50mm varifocal lens for optimal range and picture quality. It provides crystal clear color video images during the day and when night falls the camera turns on a built-in infrared subsystem. Fifty-three IR LEDs cast a 120' long beam of invisible light, which is far enough to make placement of this camera highly flexible.

Given that most parking facilities and properties will have their own light fixtures, this IR subsystem may seem superfluous. But there may be times when a light is turned off by accident or on purpose, so it's good to know your camera can handle the dark. To insure picture quality stays high we've installed a mechanical IR filter to eliminate the nuisance of "IR shift" (defocusing caused by wavelength difference between IR light and visible light). 

 This outdoor surveillance camera is sealed against rain and inclement weather, and has an all metal housing. You can adjust the lens focus and field manually without removing the camera from the bracket or disassembling the camera. A removable/adjustable metal sunshield is included. Due to the wide variety of mounting possibilities, we do not include a bracket.
