rory 0 Posted December 22, 2009 Hi, going by the specs: first, I would suggest never to order that camera again - its not a sony camera its a COP camera and its a CMOS chip. The BW resolution leaves much to be questioned: B/W: NTSC(320x240). Going by the specs though, as it mentions 3.6mm for BW and 6mm for color, and it is a fixed lens, that the camera is either sold as a COLOR or BW camera, not both. Either way, the color says it needs at least 3 lux so anything less would be BW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katie 0 Posted December 23, 2009 Hello, here comes some information about this camera: Resolution Ratio: B/W: NTSC(320x240) - PAL(352x288) /COLOR: NTSC(510x492) - PAL(628x582) Illumination: B/W 0.5 LUX @f1.4 / COLOR <3Lux@f1.2 Lens Focus and Visual Angle:3.6mm 72°(B/W) 6.0mm 52°(COLOR) Supply Voltage/Consumption:8-12V / 90mW(B/W) - 6-12V / 120mW(COLOR) There should be many reasons, the most possible one could be the second and third. Please check it carefully. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
