1100MBD P3.3
High-sensitivity day/night imaging designed to disappear into the finished system. The Watec WAT-1100MBD (P3.3) combines an ultra-compact board design with a standard 3.3 mm conical lens, making it an adaptable imaging core for low-profile surveillance equipment, OEM devices, and embedded installations with minimal available depth.
Its 1/3.2-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor provides NTSC or PAL composite video with more than 750 TV lines of horizontal resolution. Minimum illumination reaches 0.005 lx at F1.8 with AGC at 54 dB. Measuring only 23 × 23 × 25 mm, the camera also integrates mecha-less ICR day/night operation, wide dynamic range, 2D noise reduction, LED power control, and remotely accessible OSD settings for dependable imaging across changing light conditions.
The Watec WAT-1100MBD (P3.3) is an ultra-compact analog board camera designed for high-sensitivity day/night imaging. Its 1/3.2-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor provides more than 750 TV lines of horizontal resolution and composite NTSC or PAL video output.
High-Sensitivity Day/Night Imaging
Minimum illumination is 0.005 lx at F1.8 with AGC at 54 dB. The RGB+W sensor array and mechaless ICR day/night system support imaging across changing light conditions without a mechanical infrared-cut filter assembly.
Wide Dynamic Range and Image Control
Multiple-exposure wide dynamic range and ATR processing provide selectable image correction for scenes containing bright and dark areas. Additional controls include automatic and manual gain, white balance, gamma, 2D noise reduction, backlight compensation, highlight compensation, defog, sharpness, mirror functions, and 16 privacy masks.
Compact P3.3 Lens Configuration
The P3.3 configuration includes a 3324B-12P(A) conical miniature lens with a 3.3 mm focal length and F2.4 aperture. The camera measures 23 × 23 × 25 mm and weighs approximately 8 grams.
Composite Video Integration
Video is supplied as a 1.0 Vp-p, 75-ohm unbalanced composite signal. The included 4-pin cable carries power and video, while the included 2-pin cable supports PWM-controlled LED power output.
Remote OSD Configuration
Camera settings are accessible through the optional RC-01 remote controller. The OSD provides control over exposure, white balance, gain, day/night operation, dynamic range, noise reduction, backlight correction, defog, privacy masks, image orientation, and sharpness.
Flexible DC Power
The camera operates from 5 to 12 VDC. Power consumption is approximately 0.72 W at 12 VDC. A stabilized power supply with a current capacity greater than 250 mA is required.
