The HCPRO-420SC hidden fire sprinkler security camera is perfect for covert CCTV / "HD over coax" video surveillance applications. This 4-in-1 HD hidden sprinkler camera supports 800 TV lines of resolution (960H) in Analog CCTV mode and 1080p HD resolution in AHD, HDCVI, and HD-TVI modes. The video modes are switchable using the small joystick that is attached to the video cable.
The 420SC also has a built-in audio surveillance microphone. The audio mic can be connected to an RCA or BNC audio input on a DVR.
A powerful OSD (on-screen display) allows the installer to adjust the settings of the camera to meet the needs of your specific installation. The 3.7mm pinhole lens is virtually undetectable and provides a 90-degree field of view. The HCPRO-420SC works great in low light down to .01 LUX (minimal ambient lighting).

This video demonstrates HD surveillance capability of the HCPRO-420SC. The camera was running in 1080p HD-TVI mode and connected to an iDVR-PRO DVR to capture the video.
Important Note: Click the gear icon in the lower right of the video player and select 1080p resolution so that you can view the video in high definition.
The following surveillance snapshots were captured using an HCPRO-420SC connected to an
iDVR-PRO HD CCTV DVR. This is the 420SC that we have installed in a ceiling tile at CCTV Camera Pros office.
The camera monitors the main room where our surveillance techs work. This first picture was taken with all of the lights on in the room.
This second picture was taken with the lights off in the room to show the low light performance of the camera. The HCPRO-420SC does a good job in fairly low light. If you need a hiddem camera that sees in ultra-low light or no light, we recommend this
hidden PIR camera with invisible infrared night vision.
This last picture was taken to show users what the OSD (on screen display) menu looks like. The OSD allows users to fine tune the settings of the camera specific to their installation environment. The OSD menu is activated and controlled using the small joystick that is attached to the camera cable.
