UDC4 Under the Door Camera

The UDC4 Wireless Under Door Camera delivers a wide field of view and unmatched light gathering capabilities. Other systems manipulate prisms and mirrors to send a video image through bundled fiber optic cable to an attached camera -- these methods immediately cut the light and the picture quality by 50%. We have mounted our camera chip in the distal tip of the insertion panel, which gives operators a clear view from inside the inspection area. The Under Door Camera is easy to transport weighing only 0.8 lbs.

Wireless Operation

Wireless operation of the Under Door Camera is simple. Once the unit is powered on, the camera begins transmitting a wireless signal that can be viewed with any Tactical Electronics monitoring option. Exclusive in the under door camera market to the UDC4, the wireless transmission system is housed inside of the unit, making it a simple, all-in-one design.

IR Illuminator

The UDC4 980nm wavelength IR illuminator provides 180 degrees of illumination. The IR illuminator is designed to fully flood a 15 x 15ft room with IR light. Due to varying amounts of ambient light in a tactical environment the IR illuminator also provides adjustable brightness control.

Insertion Panel

The insertion panel of the Under Door Camera is 5.34 inches long and only 0.265 inches thick. It has a 0.005 lux camera chip mounted in the distal end that produces 250,000 pixels of black & white video.

Light Sensitivity

The camera chip of the UDC4 has a 0.005 lux rating--meaning that it can clearly see in near complete darkness. When vision is vital in dark environments, the UDC4 camera's frame rate will automatically slow to give added viewing capability. Together the light sensitive black and white camera and the 1 watt IR illuminator provide convert wireless vision to any dark area.

Monitors

All of our monitors are completely wireless and have no external antennas, cables, or battery packs; they can receive images in black and white, color, and infrared.
