Amazon.com Product ReviewThe Lorex SG14Q5381UQ-A 14-inch Color 2-page / 8-channel Quad Observation System with Web-ready Software and 1 Camera provides convenience, flexibility, and ease of mind. This system allows you to view up to eight camera locations in multiple viewing options such as quad, sequential, or picture-in-picture, from across the hall or around the world. The included camera has a built-in PIR motion sensor that alerts you of camera activity, while the monitor has a built-in video capture card and USB output that allows remote security monitoring via the Internet. Featuring two-way audio, remote control, video loss detection warning, and a 2x zoom, the Lorex SG14Q5381UQ-A is a complete, feature-rich, self-contained surveillance system perfect for everything from the home or business application, to professional security installations. The SG14Q5381UQ-A's 14-inch color monitor can be operated via its built-in main panel or via the included remote control. Constructed within a durable metal cabinet, this monitor includes eight DIN/BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman, RF-type) composite video inputs, and eight RCA audio inputs. Also included are four alarm inputs with two alarm output. Multi-voltage compatible, the SG14Q5381UQ-A's monitor runs on 100- to 240-volts of power, and achieves 400 TVL (TV lines) at center resolution at up to 30 frames per second (frames per second). This monitor includes pan/tilt capability on channel one (with optional SG7380 camera), and has an operating temperature of 32- to 104-degrees Fahrenheit. The camera that comes with the SG14Q5381UQ-A utilizes a 0.25-inch color CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor, and a 3.6mm fixed lens. Powered from the monitor via the connecting cable, this camera achieves a horizontal resolution of 330 TVL. Constructed of durable ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic, this camera can receive a usable picture in very-low-light conditions with a minimum illumination of 0.5 Lux. The SG14Q5381UQ-A's camera comes with its own 63-foot connection cable, allowing you to install it virtually anywhere, and can operate in temperatures ranging from 14- to 122-degrees Fahrenheit.

Designed primarily for indoor use, the Lorex SG14Q5381UQ-A offers you everything you need in a security surveillance system. Though only one camera is included, the SG14Q5381UQ-A allows up to eight cameras to be controlled, viewed, and recorded by a single unit, as well as viewed remotely from anywhere with Internet access. User's should note that the CCD image sensor in the camera may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light, so the camera should not be mounted or pointed directly at the sun or other bright-light sources. About Surveillance Camera Technical Features
Lux rating is the measurement used to indicate how sensitive a camera is to light, and stands for the level of light reflected off a piece of paper by a candle from one meter away. Thus a sensitivity of three Lux would mean a camera could generate an acceptable picture of a piece-of-paper-sized object that was illuminated by the equivalent of three candles from one meter away. The lower the Lux level, the better the camera's ability to work in low-light conditions. The camera's resolution should be greater than or equal to the resolution supported by the system's recorder or monitor. The S/N, or signal to noise ratio, is an important measure of a camera's quality. A poor camera, low-light conditions or poor wiring causes "noise" which consumes processing power and disk space. A camera with a wide dynamic range is ideal, especially for recording areas in which both indoor and outdoor light are present. CCD (charge-coupled device) sensors provide high-quality images that are less susceptible to noise. CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors offer less image quality, but are usually more cost-effective and energy efficient. What's in the Box
