Watec WAT-660E G3.8 Miniature Camera 1/4" CMOS 480TVL 0.002lx M12 Lens Mount
*Please note tariff fee is included in price*
Watec WAT-660E G3.8 Miniature Camera with 1/4" CMOS sensor, 480TVL resolution, and ultra-low light sensitivity of 0.002 lx at F2.0. Includes standard 3820BC-12 3.8mm lens, with support for various M12 P=0.5 lens options. Compact, lightweight design with wide DC 5V–12V input range.
The Watec WAT-660E G3.8 is a compact miniature camera engineered for applications requiring discreet, high-quality imaging in low-light conditions. Built around a 1/4-inch CMOS sensor, the WAT-660E delivers sharp 480TVL resolution with a high signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 52dB (AGC OFF). With an impressive minimum illumination of just 0.002 lx at F2.0, the camera maintains clarity and detail in extremely dark environments, making it a reliable choice for embedded surveillance, covert monitoring, and industrial vision systems.
Designed for versatility, the WAT660E features an M12 P=0.5 lens mount and comes standard with a 3.8mm F2.0 lens, while supporting a wide range of optional M12 lenses for tailored field-of-view requirements. It outputs through composite video (1.0 Vp-p, 75Ω) and supports progressive scanning with electronic shutter speeds ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 sec. (EIA). A broad DC 5V–12V input range ensures flexible integration across various environments, while its ultra-compact, lightweight build (33g) allows seamless installation in space-constrained applications. The WAT-660E is engineered for durability, maintaining performance in operating temperatures from -10°C to +50°C, making it suitable for both industrial and embedded imaging workflows.
