What kind of image quality can I expect from the Swann Nighthawk Camera?
The Swann Nighthawk Camera has a 1/3″ color CMOS image sensor and a resolution of 380 TV Lines or 628 x 582(PAL), 510 x 492(NTSC). CMOS stands for Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. CMOS sensors are medium quality sensors that are commonly used in digital cameras and many low-powered image devices such as USB webcams. CMOS sensors usually don’t handle variations in light conditions as well as CCD image sensors and are less sensitive so are not as powerful in low light conditions. The Swann Nighthawk Camera is wireless for video transmission so you may occasionally see lines or hear static on the screen. If this disturbance is excessive try the following to improve the picture quality: • Look for other wireless devices such as cordless phones and wireless LAN’s that operate in the same area and could potentially interfere with your camera. If possible, try switching these devices off to identify whether the picture quality of your Nighthawk Camera improves. • Since walls and other
