FAQ
What resolution does the Speco VLB9 camera record at?
The Speco VLB9 records at 2-megapixel Full HD resolution, specifically 1920 x 1080 pixels. This resolution provides detailed imagery suitable for identification purposes and delivers video at 30 frames per second for smooth motion capture. The 2-megapixel sensor captures sufficient detail for license plate recognition, facial identification, and general monitoring applications in both commercial and residential security deployments.
How far does the night vision reach on this camera?
The VLB9 features infrared night vision with a maximum range of 65.60 feet (19.99 meters). This infrared illumination allows the camera to capture clear monochrome video in complete darkness, extending monitoring capability beyond daylight hours. The Smart IR technology automatically adjusts infrared intensity based on distance to prevent overexposure of close objects while maintaining proper illumination of subjects throughout the entire 65.6-foot range.
What video formats does this camera support?
This camera supports multiple analog video formats including HD-TVI, CVI, and AHD, along with standard PAL and NTSC signal formats. This multi-format compatibility allows the VLB9 to work with a wide range of DVRs and recording systems, providing flexibility for both new installations and upgrades to existing analog surveillance infrastructure. The camera delivers Full HD resolution over coaxial cable connections when used with compatible recorders.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes, the VLB9 is specifically designed for outdoor use with an IP67 ingress protection rating. This rating certifies the camera as dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water up to one meter deep. The weather-resistant construction, combined with an operating temperature range of -22°F to 122°F (-30°C to 50°C), ensures reliable performance in rain, snow, extreme heat, and cold conditions typical of outdoor surveillance environments.
What type of lens does the VLB9 have?
The camera features a fixed 2.8mm lens with an M12 mount. This fixed focal length provides a consistent wide viewing angle suitable for general surveillance applications where monitoring a broad area is more important than zoom capability. The M12 mount type is a standard industrial specification that allows for potential lens replacement or upgrade if different viewing angles are required for specific installation scenarios.
