There are several reasons to choose the RE-TCC7 zoom camera. Of course this camera is the right choice if zooming towards the target is required. Moreover, this camera is ideal for all the applications requiring  a state of the art fixed camera, able to provide the best image quality and the most accurate settings.
RE-TCC7 features the outstanding Sony Ex-View CCD, the only one of its kind which combines high resolution with powerful night vision. 520 lines ultra-high resolution and superior Digital Signal Processing makes this camera the best choice for the most demanding CCTV systems.

520 TV lines ultra-high resolution
The image from a standard colour camera is usually composed of 330 vertical lines. The image delivered by RE-TCC7 is composed of 520 vertical lines.
The high resolution of the CCD translates into images with much higher definition, greater detail and clear, sharp outlines.

Day/Night function
Camera RE-TCC7 is a colour camera with Day & Night function. This enables it to film in colour when there is good light (up to 0.1 Lux), and then switch to black/white when darkness falls, continuing to film down to a minimum illumination of only 0.005 Lux.
In B/W mode, camera RE-TCC7 is also compatible for use with infrared illuminators, enabling it to film in total darkness.

The camera
These cameras feature the outstanding high resolution Sony ExView CCD, the only CCD capable of filming in extremely dim light
The camera boasts high end DSP digital electronics which guarantees an S/N ratio over 50 dB, a level of signal purity which is higher than most cameras on the market, delivering the utmost clarity of images produced by its prestigious detection system.
On the rear of the camera, as shown here, are the following connections and controls:

Zoom lens
RE-TCC7 camera is supplied with a built-in zoom lens. This motor zoom, featuring 3.9 to 85.8 mm. focal length, provides 22x optical zoom. In addition, the camera includes 10x digital zoom.
Zoom and focus can be controlled in 3 different ways:
Built-in keypad control - Zoom/Focus/Configuration can be controlled manually by means of 5 pushbuttons on the back of the camera.
12VDC remote control - Zoom/Focus can be controlled by applying 12VDC to LC1/LC2 terminals. 12VDC control is ideal when the application requires an external equipment to control the camera. The RE-CZ2 controller is suitable to move the zoom of this camera as well as a Pan Tilt Unit.
RS485 remote control - Zoom/Focus/Configuration can be controlled via twisted pair RS485 serial BUS using SD-CON2 keypad for speed dome cameras (PelcoD 2400 bps protocol).
The serial BUS allows a single keypad to control up to 64 cameras individually. Camera ID can be set in the configuration menu.
A few digital videorecorders like DR-2K4/8 or D-Vision PC boards can directly control zoom cameras via RS485 BUS. The remote control software of the DVR's allows controlling the RE-TCC7 zoom over an IP network (LAN) or via Internet.

Using the camera without zoom remote control
RE-TCC7 can be an optimal choice even in some applications that do not require zooming. For example this camera could be used by all customers that require a high-end autofocus camera even if they do not actually need to control the zoom from remote. In such applications the focal length of the lens can be set manually in order to obtain the best angle of view that will not be modified in operation. This zoom level can be set as a start-up preset, so the camera will be able to restore the original position even after power failure.

Autofocus-Autoiris
Unlike all DSE cameras with CS separate lens, RE-TCC7 camera has autofocus feature that automatically adjust the focus according to the zoom level and the target distance.
In the setting menu it is possible to choose between adjustable autoiris lens and electronic shutter.

Removable IR filter (ICR)
All color cameras have an IR cutfilter in front of the CCD in order to reduce the infrared light which is always present in natural  daylight. Without IR cutfilter, the colors would be unnatural, very different from those we expect.
DSE RE-TCC7 cameras feature the latest ICR technology (IR Cut Removable Filter) for better image quality both in natural light and with infrared. The IR filter, indispensable during the day, automatically cuts out in darkness, ensuring greater luminosity when filming with the IR illuminator as well as true colors with day light, particularly in low light condition.

Digital Slow Shutter (DSS)
Digital Slow Shutter is a special feature that provides extraordinary low-light performance.
Using DSS, the RE-TCC7 camera is able to integrate several frames into a single one, dramatically increasing the light level of an almost dark video. Integration level can be set from 0 to 36 frames. Please note that high integration level, will provide high low lux performance, but low refresh rate of the video.

Advanced Back Light Compensation (BLC)
Back Light Compensation improve the camera performance when filming a dark target on a bright background.
RE-TCC7 provides a latest generation, advanced BLC feature with selectable BLC target area (48 image blocks)

Privacy masking areas
This function is used to prevent critical areas to be filmed by the camera, normally for protecting people's privacy.
Up to 4 privacy masks can be set. The size of the masks can be automatically re-sized according to the zoom control.

Text on video
RE-TCC7 cameras can over print the name of the camera on the video, as well as the zoom level.

Mirror function
Mirror function is used to rotate the image upside down vertically or horizontally. Cameras filming backwards or hanged on the ceiling, generally need this option to be set to ON.

Audio
RE-TCC7 cameras do not come with a built-in microphone. If you require audio, you can connect an external microphone which is easily fitted between the camera and the Audio/Video connector cable.

Wiring and installation
These cameras can be directly connected to a TV or monitor using a cable. You can use the ready-to-use 20 m cable RE-CT1 (video+audio+power), or for longer distances coaxial cables such as CV-RG59 in rolls of 100 m.
The camera takes a 12 VDC power supply. To convert 220V mains power into 12 V, a min. 500 mA 220VAC/12VDC adaptor such as RE-AL4S is used.
We also supply brackets for wall-mounting and protective housings. If you need to control more than one camera you can connect them to a switcher or quad splitter.
If you wish to use a video recorder, the modern digital video recorders do not require these control devices and the camera can be directly connected to the video input sockets.
If the camera is connected to an external transmitter like RE-TX2/3/48/5, it can be integrated into a RadioEye® wireless system.
The zoom of the camera can be controlled from remote. You can do that by using 2 simple wires and a 12VDC controllers like RE-CZ2. Alternatively an RS485 keypad for speed domes, like SD-CON2 can be used to manage up to 64 among RE-TCC7 and speed domes camera over a twisted pair. RS-485 zoom control can be also performed by means of DR-2K4/8 DVR's and D-Vision PC boards.
