Product Description

Supports ultra-high resolution shooting of 5MP (2592 x 1944) and 4MP (2560 x 1440)
The CP-M1 is an ultra-compact security camera with a 5MP pinhole lens that supports ultra-high resolution shooting of up to 5MP (2592 x 1944) by incorporating a 1/2.7-inch 5 megapixel CMOS image sensor. It supports switching of output resolution and supports output at not only 5MP (2592 x 1944) but also 4MP (2560 x 1440), so it can also be connected to a 4MP compatible recording device.

Equipped with Day & Night function
The CP-M1 is equipped with an electronically switched Day & Night mode that automatically switches to black and white shooting when it gets dark and amplifies the sensitivity for shooting with a minimum subject illumination of 0.1 Lux.
*Infrared is not supported.

Equipped with 3DNR (three-dimensional digital noise reduction) function
The CP-M1 is equipped with a 3DNR function that significantly reduces noise that tends to occur when shooting in low light conditions, enabling clear, high-quality images to be captured even at night or during night-vision shooting.

[3D noise reduction function comparison images]
We actually took photos under low light conditions. The image on the left is with the 3DNR function OFF, and the image on the right is with the 3DNR function ON.
We can see that the 3DNR function significantly reduces noise.

[D-WDR function comparison images]
These are images taken in an environment with a large difference in brightness. The image on the left is with D-WDR function OFF, and the image on the right is with D-WDR function ON.
You can see that the object in the foreground is brighter when using D-WDR function.

Equipped with OSD function
The CP-M1 is equipped with an OSD (On Screen Display) function.
You can set the functions while watching the monitor screen.
The OSD display language supports Japanese.
[Main settings screen]
This is the main settings screen of the main unit.

[Output method/resolution switching screen]
This is the setting screen for switching the output method and output resolution.

[OSD operation switch]
There is an OSD operation switch at the branching point of the cable output from the main unit, which is used to operate the OSD menu.
It is also possible to switch between each video format.

*The OSD screen display (font, items, etc.) may vary slightly depending on the lot.

Supports AHD/HD-TVI/HD-CVI/CVBS (analog video) output
CP-M1 can be switched to AHD, HD-TVI, HD-CVI, or CVBS (analog video) output by setting it from the menu screen. HD-TVI and HD-CVI do not support 5MP resolution, but support resolutions up to 4MP. CVBS outputs 950TV lines and an aspect ratio of 4:3.
●About switching video formats●
You must switch video formats (video output) while looking at the monitor screen. Please note that if you do not have a device that supports each video format, you will not be able to switch video formats. If you have a preferred video format, please let us know when you place your order and we will set it up before shipping.

Supports M12 mini lens replacement/ Front of main unit
The CP-M1 comes standard with an M12 mini lens, f3.6mm.
The mini lens is also interchangeable, so you can replace it with a megapixel-compatible M12 mini lens (sold separately). The lens focus can also be adjusted, so it can also be used for close-up photography.

Body size
The CP-M1 is a compact camera measuring W25 x H25 x D28mm.
It can be installed unobtrusively without creating an intimidating feeling due to the installation of a security camera.

Back of the unit/ Connection part
The CP-M1 cable is approximately 80 cm long to the connector, and branches out at the end into a video output terminal (BNC), power input terminal, and OSD controller connection terminal.

Introducing the 5MP AHD Ultra-Compact Camera CP-M1

The CP-M1 is a 5-megapixel ultra-compact camera manufactured by Sun Mechatronics, a manufacturer of special equipment for investigations and investigations. It supports AHD (AHD3.0), HD-CVI, HD-TVI, and CVBS (analog) outputs, and the OSD controller allows you to change the video format, resolution, and perform various other settings. The camera’s ultra-compact design measures just 25 x 25 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of uses, from surveillance to mobile applications. It also supports M12 mini lenses, allowing you to change lenses to suit the installation environment.
As for the specific product contents, first of all, the image sensor is equipped with a 1/2.7-inch color CMOS with 5 million effective pixels, and the maximum shooting resolution is 5MP resolution of 2592 x 1944. The output resolution can be switched between 5MP (2592 x 1944) and 4MP (2560 x 1440), and the aspect ratio is 4:3 output for 5MP and 16:9 output for 4MP, which is currently mainstream, so you can choose your preferred output resolution.
The main video output method is AHD3.0, but it also supports HD-CVI, HD-TVI, and CVBS outputs, and the video method can be switched within the OSD menu screen settings. The output resolution supports 5MP only when AHD3.0, and is up to 4MP for HD-CVI and HD-TVI, and D1 equivalent resolution for CVBS.
Next, regarding the shooting correction capability, the low-light shooting capability supports shooting in relatively dim environments with a minimum subject illumination of 0.5 Lux for color shooting and 0.1 Lux for black and white shooting, and it is equipped with D-WDR, which is useful in environments with large differences in light and dark, and DNR, which reduces noise when shooting in low light, and other basic functions for taking good pictures as a security camera. These functions can be set using the OSD controller.
In addition, the CP-M1 uses an M12 mini lens, and by using a megapixel-compatible lens (sold separately), you can select the lens that best suits your needs, whether that be wide-angle or telephoto shooting.
The CP-M1 is a 25mm x 25mm ultra-compact camera that supports 5MP ultra-high resolution shooting, but it also has excellent shooting functions in its ultra-compact size, allowing you to easily and compactly shoot 4MP and 5MP ultra-high resolution images.If you are looking for an ultra-compact camera with a resolution even higher than full HD, this is a highly recommended compact camera.

[Image taken] 5MP AHD ultra compact camera CP-M1

We have prepared some images actually taken with the CP-M1.

The video input to the AHD digital recorder is captured.
CP-M1 indoor shots

This image was taken of a subject about 40cm away. Equipped with an f3.6mm lens, it allows for a relatively wide angle of view of about 80 degrees horizontally. The colors seem a little pale.

CP-M1 Outdoor shots

This is an image taken outside the office. The colors looked a little dull when shot up close, but there was no sense of incongruity in the outdoor image. The resolution is very high, and even small letters can be seen.

CP-M1 low light images

I took the photo at an illuminance of 0.20 Lux. I can read the value of 0.20 on the illuminometer. The minimum subject illuminance is 0.1 Lux, so the value seems to be within the specs.

CP-M1 Analog output captured image

I switched the CP-M1 to CVBS (analog) format and shot the video.
The aspect ratio of the CVBS format is 4:3, but the video looks like a 16:9 image displayed in 4:3.
