Power

NOCTURN GV Camera
is powered by the
Lynx CMOS imaging
sensor, optimized for
low light level imaging.

0° C to +45° C
-50° C to +80° C
+5 to +15 VDC (External Power Supply Needed)
< 4 W (typical)

The Lynx CMOS imaging sensor is the first operational sensor specifically designed
with Night Vision, Homeland Security and Surveillance applications in mind.
This fully solid-state CMOS sensor provides excellent imaging across varying light
conditions, from daylight to low-light levels - such as those found during a
quarter-moon.
The Lynx CMOS imaging sensor provides full SXGA resolution at 100 frames per
second, with < 4e- read-out noise and without cooling.
