Orlando, FL, February 7, 2007--Leviton's new Indoor/Outdoor Color Camera Monitoring System provides high-quality color video output that can be viewed on any TV in the home as well as remotely over the Internet.

The system operates over Cat 5e UTP cables, which interconnect with a compact Camera Hub in the Leviton SMC. The Camera Hub provides power to up to four cameras and outputs composite video from the cameras to Leviton's IP/Quad Module and/or Video Modulators. The IP/Quad Module lets homeowners view output from up to four cameras simultaneously on any in-home TV using a video modulator, or remotely over the Internet using a PC browser.

The Indoor Camera comes with both clear and tinted lens covers for mounting in a Decora wall plate. The Outdoor Camera and included wall plate assembly are available in white and can be painted to match any exterior trim. They mount easily to a single gang, exterior box. Indoor and Outdoor Camera assemblies and the Camera Hub incorporate precision video baluns to ensure clear video output over the UTP cable. The Outdoor Camera also includes a separate power supply for applications where cable runs exceed 328 feet (100 meters). This feature facilitates local powering of cameras at entrance gates and other structures that are a long distance from the SMC.

Leviton's new Indoor/Outdoor Color Monitoring Camera System provides an ideal solution for parents seeking to monitor a baby in the crib, toddlers in the playroom, children in the backyard, and see who is ringing the doorbell after dark. The password secure IP/Quad Module lets homeowners monitor their homes while they are at work or away on vacation.
