The 380 lines quoted on our site are TV lines
The scanning lines are 525 2:1 interlaced
The camera also operates down to - 10 or + 50C so its an all weather camera
its waterproof.
Our monitor has a built in 30GB real time video recorder.
We have supplied certain Police and other organisatios special op's departments with exactly the same system.
I have no need to justify the systems cost as I have traveled outside the UK to look at military and police spec units and our beats the vast majority hands down and is equal to the others.
We are charging far less than the cost that these other "specialist" suppliers are getting for in most cases an inferior unit many charge £3000- £5000 for their camera and monitor. One recent purchaser bought an extra camera system because in his opinion our units were cheap having previously paid over £5000.00 for a simular unit ( he wasnt a window cleaner ;o) )
I can put together a cheaper unit no problem, but I have always wanted to produce the best not the cheapest.

Who asked you to Justify the system costs? NOT ME! Who said your system wasn't good? NOT ME!
Who said a better quality components to produce a good system can source' d at less cost? ME!
I did CCTV systems for 15 years so there's not a lot you can teach me about them, I have city & Guilds in electronics, so if you want to start throwing specs around, then a closed couple device (CCD) scans lines at a certain resolution and your web site clearly states in the camera specs 380 lines, if your saying that the cctv scans at 525 lines, and your monitor at 380 lines then its clear to me that you have a mis-match pair?
It means the quality of the picture on the monitor will be no better than 380 lines it can't show 525 lines produced by a camera.
A closed circuit control device for controlling carrier speed of a scanner. An optical meter is attached to the transparent glass panel of a scanner such that an image of the optical meter is formed on an optical sensor such as a charge couple device or a contact image sensor. Image of the optical meter is converted into sense signals by the optical sensor so that speed of the carrier can be accurately computed. Through the acquisition of an accurate carrier speed, scanning speed and direction can be precisely controlled.
The correct specifications for a 1/3rd sharp CCD camera are as follows
1/3 SHARP CCD Camera
Resolution =420TVL
LED= 10pcs
Minimum Illumination=0.01 Lux / F1.2
With a Lens = 3.6 mm standard
I'm not asking you to justify price's or specs and I'm not saying your products are inferior, I never have, and never will, I know you have wages to pay and do lots of testing at the factory to produce better products, so you have to reflect this in your price's.
We had this disagreement some time back regarding your gutter vac and you chucked your toy's out of the pram then, and I will keep disagreeing with you that better quality components can be source' d at a lower cost, I know about all your overheads etc but as so many posts have been made on here regarding the cost of your product, its time you took notice.
I'm not suggesting you bring your prices down but what I am suggesting is that you make a product, so there within the reach of the one man bands and smaller companies.
You and your team have the knowledge, capability's and skills to produce good cheaper products for the lower end of the market and it will show you listen to us and not just come on here to sell and defend yourself?
I for one would sing your praises if you Just sit up and listen.
Its not in my nature to continue a disagreement, so I have had my last say on this matter.
