Fixed mag and wide lenses have better light transmission than CCTV zoom lenses at anything above minimum zoom - which makes them much more useful for ambient light performance that is beneficial for covert spotting.
It has a mini weaver rail fitted and is an ideal spotter if you already have a spare illuminator - the T38 shown is not supplied.
Spotters made with quality cameras and lenses do not need as much artificial IR to be used as a rifle scoped add-on needs.
I refuse to skimp on the camera or lens adaptors to make my spotters as cheap as some others - only the very best performing KPC E700 PUB camera is used rather than the cheaper but similar sounding one's that cost about half as much and perform less without an illuminator. There is less difference when an illuminator is used but that is much easier for nocturnal quarry to spot your presence.
I never supply anything with batteries in. It only takes someone to do something silly or a battery to go pop for some blame claim legal firm to come knocking my door... it ain't going to happen. An advantage of the buyer supplying his own 18650 FLAT TOP batteries is the spotter doesn't need to be sent back to me if a battery fails. 18650's keep a charge for ages so its a good idea to keep a spare pair in the truck
The long thin neck of the E700 camera body has the 'some bloke' improvement - it is milled back to ensure all of the nice wide lens SLR rear glass element see's all of the CCD sensor. (Stock photo's):
This one has an RCA out socket that can be used for a DVR. A custom made DVR cable with right angled plugs at either end can be supplied as an optional extra at £10 - if ordered with the spotter: I need to know what DVR is to be used as the 4 pole mini jack plugs used have different pin functions.
An optional extra chunky solid machined handle is available as an optional extra at £10 and a powerful roof magnet - and metal bush can be fitted into the base of the handle at an additional £10 - making the handle, bush and magnet £20:
And this is the massive help you get from a quality camera equipped spotter when its foggy (50mm F1.8 lens):

This is how you remove the monitor to change the batteries after three hours constant run time if they are quality 18650 cells:
