Analog Box Camera 12VDC

The Avalonix 1000TVL Analog Box Camera is a standard-definition CCTV camera for customers who still need a true CVBS camera for an older surveillance system. It uses a traditional BNC coax connection and 12VDC power, making it a practical replacement for older box cameras without requiring the customer to replace working coax cable, power wiring, or a compatible DVR.

The camera outputs 960H CVBS analog video and is rated at 1000TVL. It uses a 1/3-inch CCD image sensor with Effio-E processing and 976 x 494 effective pixels. This is an analog-resolution camera, not a 720P or 1080P HD-over-coax camera.

That does not mean it is limited to old DVRs. The camera also works with many newer HD and hybrid DVR/XVR recorders as long as the recorder supports standard CVBS analog input. On a compatible hybrid DVR, this camera can operate alongside HDCVI, HDTVI, AHD, or other supported HD analog cameras connected to the recorder's other channels.

Standard CVBS Camera for Legacy and Modern DVRs

This camera sends standard-definition NTSC CVBS video through its BNC output. It is a good choice when replacing a failed camera on an older analog CCTV system, maintaining specialized legacy equipment, or adding another standard analog camera to a recorder that still supports CVBS.

Modern HD DVRs and XVRs frequently support more than one type of analog camera signal. If your recorder accepts CVBS, this camera can be connected even if other channels on the same recorder are using higher-resolution HD-over-coax cameras.

The recorder does not convert the camera into an HD camera. When connected to an HD DVR or XVR, this camera continues to provide its native 960H CVBS analog video. Recorder compatibility depends on the DVR supporting CVBS input.

Choose the Lens for the Installation

The camera is sold without a lens. Instead of locking you into one viewing angle, the box-camera design lets you select a compatible lens from the available product options when ordering.

Choose the lens based on the area you need to monitor. A wider-angle lens is better when you need to see more of a room or nearby area, while a longer focal-length lens provides a narrower view that makes a more distant subject appear larger in the image.

This makes the camera particularly useful for replacement systems and specialized installations where the viewing distance or field of view needs to be matched to a specific location.

Reuse Existing Coax and 12VDC Power

The camera connects using a standard BNC video connector and sends CVBS analog video over coax cable. For many replacement installations, this means the existing RG59 coax cable can remain in place instead of rewiring the location for an IP camera.

The camera operates on 12VDC power and consumes approximately 2.5 watts. Existing 12VDC CCTV power supplies can often be reused when they are in good condition and provide the correct voltage and sufficient current.

Box Camera Design for Custom Installations

Box cameras remain useful when an installation requires more control over lens selection and camera placement than a fixed-lens bullet or dome camera provides. Selecting the lens separately lets the installer match the camera to entrances, hallways, offices, warehouses, counters, production areas, and other locations with different viewing-distance requirements.

The rear of the camera includes OSD controls for camera setup along with the BNC video output and 12VDC power input.

Indoor Use or Add a Weatherproof Outdoor Housing

For exposed outdoor installations, place the camera and selected lens inside a compatible weather-resistant box-camera enclosure. CCTV Camera World offers a weatherproof CCTV box camera housing for compatible box-camera installations.
