JVC TK-C920E Samsung SDC-415

The question is : who is opening CCTV camera today and using screwdriver ??The question is : what is written in catalogue and do we really rely on catalogue only ?The question is : do we want to know what we are purchasing or not ?? If we want to know what we are purchasing, we will very soon understand there are only3 concepts of making CCTV camera 

1.“Full concept” :available f.i. by Japan Manufactors2.“2 Boars and wires” : available by entry level manufactors from Korea3.“all on one board” : available by mainly China Manufactors.

   1) JVC way of making CCTV camera based on perfect experience and technology resources :

Result : JVC Superlolux Camera : reliable electronic - components by MTBF 93.000 Hours Strong PSU part, no wires, no “one board” electronic. € 125,00 is very aggressive list price, 14 BIT Superlolux DSP is benchmark in this class.

2) Next Step down bellow this concept JVC will not follow. Even JVC does not follow “step down” It does not mean, the concept is not exsisting and camera are not performing. The only question is only : for how long ?? But what is next step down ???Next step down is Price / performance ratio cca. € 80,00 List price

WHERE IS BIG ELCO here needed ??

Result : CCTV analogue camera : two boards (optical + PSU-Video) flat wires in between

3) For next step down and estimated list price € 45,00 I will make no deep comment. Equipment is mainly coming from China. All “on one board”

IR- LED contra Superlolux TK-C9200 /9300/2201/2201WPE are very powerful by low light using 14 bit  3D DNR DSP and  many customer reported us they do not need any additional "help"  Another amazing point is high power consumption of IR-LED cameras : -Testing 6mm diameter and 14 LED's IR Type from China  power consumption was 300mAh / 12VDC

- Testing 10mm diameter and  8  LED's IR-Type outdoor  from China, power consumption was 398Ah  /24VAC Just for comparisson : TK-C9201 has power consumption my max. 35 mA and 9200 by max. 190mA

MTBF

Total Cost issue after 5 yearsJVC camera TK-C9200E € 125,00 600TVL, 14 bit DSP

**MTBF 93.000 hours**Repair : most probably € 0,00**Exchange, exchange costs : most probably € 0,00**Power consumption : best on market 190mA or 1,9W after 5 years

Result : due to low power consumption and robust electronics end users saves at least another € 125,00 after 5 years

Total Cost issue after 5 yearsTraditional entry CCTV camera € 70

**MTBF : NOT ANNOUNCED

**Repair : most probably Yes € ??

**Exchange, exchange costs most probably Yes € ??

**Power consumption : between 4 – 4,7W without IR-LED with IR-LED much more

Result : low purchasing costs but probably more than double total costs for 5 years life time on exchange and power consumption.
