1. Introduction

1.1 General Description
The USS-300/USS-301 series is an automatic exposure control (electronic shutter) camera using near infrared
(NIR) CCD imager. The camera is four times more sensitive than the conventional CCD camera at 945 nm
wavelength. Smear is significantly reduced and dynamic range is much greater than the conventional CCD
cameras. The camera works very well between low light and sunlight conditions. The high gain circuitry provides
clear video quality at low light condition. In a daylight condition, the camera will automatically covert the saturated
incoming light source into a constant viewable video level with its auto electronic shutter control.
