The Fracarro CIR18-66 is a compact all-in-one camera with a fixed 4.2 mm lens and a Sony CCD colour sensor. It delivers 420-line TV horizontal resolution and automatic infrared night vision via 18 IR LEDs at 850 nm, with a CDS light sensor controlling IR activation at 8–10 lux.

The IP66-rated enclosure allows installation in exposed outdoor positions. A wall mounting bracket is included in the package. Power is supplied at 12 V DC and the unit draws 80 mA with IR off and 220 mA with IR on.

Key Features

• Sony CCD 1/3" colour sensor
• 18 infrared LEDs at 850 nm for night vision
• CDS light sensor with IR activation at 8–10 lux with delay
• Fixed 4.2 mm lens at F2.0 aperture
• IP66 weatherproof rating
• AGC, AWB, and AES image controls all active
• Wall mounting bracket included

Product Benefits

• IR coverage of 10–15 m indoors and 5–10 m outdoors provides effective night surveillance in both environments
• Minimum illumination of 0.3 lux (0 lux with IR on) ensures usable images in near-darkness
• Signal-to-noise ratio greater than 48 dB (AGC Off) produces clean video output
• Auto white balance (2500–9500 K) and electronic shutter (1/50–1/100,000) adapt automatically to changing light conditions
• Compact all-in-one format simplifies installation — no separate housing required
