Sentinel camera:<\/p>\n
The Sentinel III camera is a Sony HiCam HB-710E. The CCD (Charge Coupled Device) is a 1.27 cm (0.5 inch) interlined chip with 410K pixels. Effective Pixels 768 (Horizontal) X 494 (Vertical). It has a super-low illumination environment of 0.0005 Lux(F1.2 \/20 IRE at AGC Max). It is powered by +12VDC and consumes 150 mA at maximum load.<\/p>\n
The lens is Rainbow L163VDC4P fisheye lens with a 180 degree field.<\/p>\n

The Sentinel – video frame grabber comes in an external box. It contains a micro-controller, a RCM3200, from Rabbit Semiconductor. There are three connections on the box, 1) +3.3V DC input, 2) a BNC male connector for the 1Vp-p<\/sub> video input from the Sony camera via 75 ohm coax, and 3) an Ethernet jack. The frame grabber communicates with a PC via the ethernet cable either directly with a crossover cable or through a LAN hub via a conventional ethernet cable.<\/p>\n The Sentinel III system is being replaced by the Sentinel IV system which uses the same camera but uses an internal Hauppaugue model 188 video\u00a0 card.<\/p>\n Watec 902H<\/p>\n PC164CEX-2<\/p>\n acrylic domes from EZ Tops in New Brunswick.<\/p>\n fisheye lens, sources<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Temp Place holder Camera systems currently in use by network members include the Sentinel camera a Sony, the Watec 902H, and the PC164CEX-2.
