Honeywell HD4DX security cam???

[robz (Robert)]

Have the above cam in perfect condition and working order for NIX!.
Took it apart last night to examine the sensor chip as a curiosity
There are no details on it's number unfortunately.

I have intentions of using it for Planetary imaging primarily and maybe(???) some simple, brighter D.S.O.'s.

This would of course need a mod to the chip/circuit, but as I don't know what number/type SONY HAD chip it is (except that it's 1/3 inch colour/b/w), it's a bit of an impossibility.

I have searched the net and all the specifications don't list the number/type.........anywhere

It's an enclosed 16 pin type sensor from visual inspection, and that's about it

Any ideas guys?

No one???????

Have emailed Honewell for the sensor chip number................hope that the info is of some help

Will report back if I have any success and hopefully a long exposure mod can be worked out???

Reply back from Honeywell was PATHETIC!..........fobbed me off to contact local suppliers/distributers/dealers, bla, bla, bla, to get more information on their products.........yeah, like I'm goin' down that road!

In the process of finding a schematic (good luck ).
Have details on one I.C that is the driver chip. Looks like I might have a problem identifying the larger Samsung chip next to it.

Either way, if it can't be modified, it will do very nicely as a planetary cam.
