Fracarro CD-VFDNH Varifocal Dome CCTV Camera – Sony HQ1 DSP, 540 TVL & 0.15 lux B/W

The Fracarro CD-VFDNH is an indoor dome camera built around a 1/3" Sony Super HAD colour CCD sensor and the Sony HQ1 digital signal processor. With 540-line horizontal resolution and a 2.9–10 mm aspherical varifocal lens, it captures detail-rich footage across varying indoor environments.

Settings for AGC, AWB, BLC, AES, and FL are configured via dip-switches. The camera outputs a composite PAL video signal over BNC and operates on a 12 V DC supply.

Key Features

• 1/3" Sony Super HAD colour CCD sensor
• Sony HQ1 digital signal processor (DSP)
• 540-line horizontal TV resolution (795 × 596 pixels)
• 2.9–10 mm aspherical varifocal lens at F1.2 — manual focus and zoom, internal
• Galvanometric auto iris with internal manual regulation
• Five dip-switch-configurable controls: AGC, AWB, BLC, AES, FL

Product Benefits

• 540-line resolution (versus 420-line) captures finer detail — useful for facial recognition or reading text in frame
• Dual-mode minimum illumination: 0.25 lux colour, 0.15 lux black-and-white for low-light operation
• Signal-to-noise ratio above 50 dB (AGC Off) for a clean image with minimal noise
• Varifocal range of 2.9–10 mm covers multiple room sizes without a lens swap
• FL dip-switch reduces image flicker under fluorescent or mixed-frequency lighting
