25X Optical Zoom, Day & Night, and Removable IR Cut Filter Ensure Optimum Performance Around the Clock. The JVC VN-C655U Network Dome Camera is the industry's first full function dome camera with built-in web server*.

¼-inch CCD with 25x Optical Zoom
A high-resolution 1/4-inch interline transfer CCD with IR cut filter captures scenes in realistic color, while the zoom functions (25x optical + 10x electronic) provide excellent detail when and where it is needed.

Extended Dynamic Range
Bright areas of a scene are shot with a high-speed shutter while dark areas receive normal exposure. Both sets of data are then combined to create a single, well-balanced image with light and dark areas perfectly exposed – another JVC innovation that makes a visible difference.

Super LoLux Sensitivity & Nighttime Shooting
Even with light levels of just 0.6 lux, the VN-C655U can shoot high-quality color pictures thanks to Super LoLux technology. And at night the mechanical IR cut filter can be automatically retracted for infrared imaging (monochrome), making the camera sensitive enough to shoot in just 0.06 lux of ambient light.

Versatile Camera Control
Highly sophisticated control of camera movements is enabled with such features as 360° endless panning and Auto Flip (ensur-ing no blind spots), variable pan/tilt speeds, Auto Pan and Auto Patrol with 100 pre-set positions, Privacy Mask (to protect selected areas from intrusive monitoring), and Auto Trace (to replay manual camera operations). The VN-C655U can be controlled via the JVC VN-S400U Software or VR-N100 Network Video Recorder and Client Software.

Distribution control
The bit rate (32kbps – 8Mbps) can be set when selecting "Distribution Control ON" from the Quality Setting menu. This allows the camera to maintain the preset frame rate and file size by automatically changing the compression level according to the bit rate.

30fps Motion-JPEG (VGA)
The high-quality images are output as Motion-JPEG format with resolution up to 640x480 pixels and a maximum frame rate of 30fps. Any computer on the network can be used to monitor and store this video stream, and a future upgrade to add Internet capability to the VN-C655U will allow remote access from virtually anywhere in the world.
