Board Cameras are basically a
fixed lens mounted on a circuit board. These cameras are often used
in mini cameras, dome cameras and for making hidden cameras but are
also sold unpackaged, for mounting by the buyer.
Lenses in these cameras are either of a full
opened lens or pinhole in which the opening of the lens is very
small. Pinhole lens cameras are often called "spy" cameras and are
most often used in making hidden cameras. All of our
hidden cameras are examples of hidden
board cameras.
Lenses in board cameras are pre-mounted and
have a fixed iris. In most cases they have a short focal length (the
distance between the surface of the lens and it's focal point) which
results in a wide angle of view. Our board cameras have a lens
between 3.6 and 3.7mm.
Because board cameras have some
many fixed features they are limited to what they can be used for.
However, they offer a low cost solution to security needs especially
hidden camera situations. |
