TOA Introduces Innovative Infrared Day/Night Cameras

 March 27, 2009 — SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA — TOA Electronics, Inc.,  a manufacturer of premier electronic security and commercial audio products, recently introduced a new advanced line of high resolution, infrared day/night cameras, the C-CV854R-3 Vandal Resistant IR Dome Camera and the C-CV454R-3 Outdoor Day/Night IR Camera.

The new C-CV854R-3 and C-CV454R-3 are true innovations in technology. TOA uses a highly sensitive, higher-quality CCD, requiring far fewer and lower-powered LEDs.  This unique design provides better image quality, reduces costs, and increases LED lifespan to as much as 20 years.  Both cameras feature a state-of the-art infrared LED illuminator that is capable of capturing clear images in complete darkness at a visible range of 82.02ft and also offer around-the-clock surveillance, backlight and flicker free functionality for easy viewing, and a wide range of view angles (3X varifocal lens).

The body of the C-CV854R-3 is constructed of die-cast aluminum alloy, with a vandal-proof polycarbonate dome cover. With the installation of the optional C-A854H heater unit, the C-CV854R-3 can withstand ambient temperatures as low as -22°F. The camera’s dual operating capability makes it ideal for applications where around-the-clock coverage is essential, and the noise-reduction function allows clear images under poor lighting conditions.

The C-CV454R-3 operates as a color camera in daylight, and as a highly sensitive monochrome camera in darkness. The dustproof and waterproof construction of the C-CV454R-3 enables easy outdoor use without requiring additional equipment or sealants to protect the camera against harsh weather conditions. The noise reduction and 8x electronic sensitivity boost functions guarantee clear image monitoring through digital processing.

These new, cutting edge infrared cameras are competitively priced, and backed by the company’s three-year warranty.
