Windscreen Camera for trucks & buses

The CH-WSC.2 windscreen camera is used as part of an MDVR system for video recording through the windscreen of a truck or bus or other similar application. The camera itself is fitted inside a metal shell which attaches to the inside of the windscreen with double-sided tape and has an adjustment on the side to move the camera module up or down through a small range and as such this camera is mostly used on vehicles with near vertical windscreens.
The camera can be mounted anywhere on the inside of the windscreen where it will capture the view forward but is most often mounted at the bottom of the screen and care should be taken to ensure that the camera is within the wiper zone and is used in the same way as a “dashcam” in that it is capturing video from the driver’s perspective and as such should be a part of all DVR installations.

For vehicles with a more sloping windscreen or where mounting at the top of the screen is preferred, the CH-IC4 camera can be used.

This model has audio input for sound recording but this feature is selected on or off in the DVR host itself should audio not be required.

Video quality starts with the camera being used and regardless of size or quality of the display, a poor camera will always deliver poor video quality which is why Chipatronic has striven for better quality using HD video rather than traditional Standard Definition (CVBS) video. The CH-WSC.2 windscreen camera uses a high quality, 2MP image sensor for good low light image capability and provides 1080P AHD video which is compatible with all current Chipatronic Analogue DVR systems with which this will be normally be used.

Windscreen cameras should not have functioning IR LEDs for night vision as this will cause flaring in low light conditions which will often result in poor quality video but with the high resolution image sensor used which has WDR, this camera will capture excellent video day and night.

All Chipatronic AHD cameras have heavy duty power supplies for reliable operation and use standard 4 pin connections to integrate with Chipatronic cabling systems which suit all our MDVRs and monitors.
