Watec Discontinuing WAT-240VIVID G3.8 and WAT-240VIVID P3.7 cameras.
Simply stated, Watec’s progress in miniature color cameras now sets the stage for the future of its field. These cameras represent a new generation of finely-tuned ultra-compact color cameras. The WAT-240VIVID G3.8 camera now becomes the WAT-240E G3.8, and the WAT-240VIVID P3.7 becomes the new model
WAT-240E P3.7.

Replacing a camera style takes research, ingenuity and the desire to push ahead in technological history. Watec, long an industry leader in miniature CCD (Charge Coupled Device) camera technology, succeeds in this by constantly changing and reinventing their areas of expertise, and it is this desire for perfection that provides the basis for advancement.
Demonstrating this, Watec is replacing two of their fully adjustable, high resolution color cameras, the WAT-240VIVID G3.8 Ultra Compact Mini Color Bullet Camera with a 3.8mm Glass Lens (includes 3.8mm and F2.0 glass lens), and their WAT-240VIVID P3.7 CCD Mini Color Camera with a 3.7mm Pinhole Lens (includes 3.7mm and F4.5 pinhole lens).

Presenting the new Watec CCTV bullet camera, the glass lens WAT-240E G3.8mm (F2.0), and the pinhole lens WAT-240 P3.7 (F4.5). Like their predecessors, their size, weight, and extensive features set them apart from most
security cameras offered in today’s market. The expertise these minute security cameras command, allow them to be the perfect choice for residential or commercial applications, thanks to their dependability, and minimally intrusive security monitoring size: 0.7 in diameter, and 2.5" in length (18 x 64mm), and weighing a mere 1 ounce (28g).
The AE (Automatic Exposure) mode at EI continues at 1/60 to 1/100000 second, backlight compensation is a constant, and the cameras maintain the same operating temperature 14 to - 104°F (-10 to +40°C without condensation), and storage temperatures. The previous power requirements of 6 VDC now changes to 5 VDC.
However, the new changes catapult these cameras into a higher chapter of mini color cameras. The ¼ inch interline transfer CCD image sensor has been replaced with a 1/4" CMOS (Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) progressive scan image sensor. Total pixels have changed from 768 x 494 NTSC(National Television Standards Committee) to 648 x 488 NTSC and PAL (Phase Alternating Line).
The previous imaging system was Ye, Cy, Mg, and G complementary color mosaic filters on a chip, and has now been updated to an RGB (Red Green Blue) Bayer array mosaic filters on a chip. Distinctive to this type of imaging filter, is the ability to screen specific colors (for example, red, blue and green) when acquiring colored images for video recording. With the resolution increased from more than 450TVL (Television Lines) to more than 480TVL, this allows for additionally accurate, extra detailed image recording. Total pixel numbers change from 811 (H) x 507 (V) to 652 (H) x 504 (V), and automatic white balance from 2500 to 9500K to a new 2500K to 9000K. The minimum illumination levels have also changed, from 0.7 lux (F2.0) to a scant 0.3 lux (F2.0), and backlight compensation that eliminates the silhouette effect when the subject is brightly lit from behind. Lens mounting changes from M13 p=1.0 to M12 P=0.5.
Time is of the essence.
Aegis Electronic Group, Inc., has limited stock of these cameras available and is able to satisfy all orders quickly. The discontinuation of these cameras allows the consumer to purchase the existing model on a first come, availability basis. When previous camera stock is depleted, orders will automatically turn over to the newer WAT-240E G3.8 bullet camera and the WAT-240E P3.7 pinhole lens camera.
