Our B/W residential observation system has a passive infrared sensor that detects motion and sends a signal to the control unit. Then, an audible chime alerts the user, and the control unit momentarily interupts the TV image (switching to the camera image). The TV viewing interuption can be adjusted or disabled based upon their customized user settings. It features an infrared LEDs that enhance viewing in low light conditions. By using the composite video output, the control unit can be alternatively connected to the auxiliary inputs, PIP inputs, or modulator for whole house viewing. A weatherproof camera, mounting bracket, control unit, 65 foot cable, a UL listed power supply, and control unit-to-TV coaxial cable are included in the The Resi-Cam unit.
