Twoply 0 #1 September 3, 2008 Anyone know what attachment is on these CCD cameras? I recovered a bunch of these from a building before we demo'd it. It had a 12 volt power source and video feed going to it. THanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meridianjumper 0 #2 September 3, 2008 Looks like it could be some sort of BNC style video jack. Most of the ends I put on coax is a "Snap and Seal" connector. Blue Skies, Jeremy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twoply 0 #6 September 3, 2008 Actually, does anyone really know? I thought it was some kind of extended camera focusing thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meridianjumper 0 #7 September 3, 2008 Oh, I thought you meant the connector in the back. The "thing" on the front is the lens. It gets its power from the camera. It is probably a fairly low lux lens on the camera. If you take it off, the camera will not function correctly. Blue Skies, Jeremy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boyfalldown 0 #8 September 3, 2008 The thing on the front is a servo that drives the iris. The camera head takes 12v in, and sends a composite video feed out the bnc connector in back. You can get a bnc to rca adaptor from radio shack if you want to hook the camera up to consumer video gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpin_Jan 1 #9 September 3, 2008 It looks like the camera has a "F" to "BNC" adapter installed. http://www.supercircuits.com/Connectors/CON-9 An "F" connector is what is found on cable/TV antenna. See if you can unscrew the adapter. If you can it's prolly an "F" connector. A "BNC" connector is a twist lock, it will have 2 lil nubs sticking out. (similar to an outomobile tail light bulb) The camera has an auto iris 4-10mm zoom lens attached also. Not sure if the lens is "C" or "CS" but it looks like the lens is CS and the camera is C mount with a C to CS adapter installed. If there is a label on the camera you could google the model and prolly get specs on the CCD. Neato! :) PULL! jumpin_Jan"Dangerous toys are fun but ya could get hurt" -- Vash The Stampede Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
