Technology and Resolution up to 1.3 Megapixels – for Clear,
Detailed, and Amazingly Bright Surveillance Monitoring Images
Sony introduces a new generation of network mini-dome cameras: the SNC-DM Series Megapixel Network
Cameras and the SNC-DS Series Network Cameras. Incorporating advanced progressive scan CCDs with
ExwavePRO technology, they provide extremely clear and detailed images for surveillance monitoring
applications. And, unlike conventional network cameras that incorporate progressive scan CCDs with primary
color filters, these cameras use complementary color filters to provide amazingly bright and high-resolution
images even in dimly lit environments, which is a key requirement for surveillance monitoring.
The first line of Sony megapixel mini-dome cameras, the SNC-DM Series, has been especially designed for use in
security applications. Combining advanced ExwavePRO technology and a unique light funnel function, which
provides high sensitivity, they produce extremely bright images even when monitoring moving objects in dark
environments.
The SNC-DS Series is another powerful new addition to the Sony network mini-dome camera lineup. Just like the
SNC-DM Series, these progressive scan cameras incorporate ExwavePRO technology for excellent sensitivity.
Common to both mini-dome series are sophisticated features such as Intelligent Motion Detection, Constant Bit
Rate Algorithm, and flexible Gamma Curve Settings. These features provide not only high-quality images, but
also intelligent and efficient operational flexibility to meet user needs in various monitoring applications.
Designed with security in mind by focusing on camera sensitivity, Sony’s new mini-dome series outperforms
conventional progressive scan cameras, making it the right choice for your surveillance monitoring applications.

FEATURES
High-quality Images
✜ Progressive Scan CCD With ExwavePRO Technology
The SNC-DM Series and SNC-DS Series of cameras incorporate
advanced progressive scan CCDs with ExwavePRO technology.
They inherit the technical advantages of Sony ExwaveHAD
technology, while incorporating progressive scanning and
complementary color filters to provide extremely high sensitivity
levels and clear, crisp images in both daytime and nighttime
environments. Complementary color filters are well suited in
cameras used for security applications because the luminance
signal-to-noise ratio is higher than when using primary color filters.
These cameras, with ExwavePRO technology, provide bright
images in low light conditions even when the camera has a
resolution greater than 1,000,000 pixels. The minimum illumination
of the SNC-DM Series is 0.8 lx in color at F1.3, and the SNC-DS
Series is 0.3 lx in color at F1.3.
(Fig. 1)
✜ Megapixel — High Resolution
SNC-DM160SNC-DM110
The SNC-DM Series of cameras have a resolution of 1.3 megapixels,
which can reproduce clear and detailed images even at wide
viewing angles. These cameras are ideal for use at building
entrances and parking lots, where detailed images, such as those
of people’s faces and car license plates, are required.

✜ Light Funnel Function for High Sensitivity
SNC-DM160SNC-DM110
*1
Unlike systems that use slow shutter speeds to provide bright
images, the 'Light Funnel' mechanism is such that image data for
every two pixels are combined vertically and horizontally
providing extremely bright images even when monitoring moving
objects at dusk. This function can be activated automatically in
response to surrounding light conditions or on a pre-specified time
schedule.
*1 When the light funnel function is activated, the image resolution is 640 x 480 (VGA).
(Fig. 3)
✜ JPEG Picture Quality Settings With Constant Bitrate
Algorithm
Users can preset the JPEG picture quality for these cameras from
a choice of ten levels. In addition, because the cameras
incorporate a constant bitrate algorithm, they can limit the data
bitrate while still maintaining high-quality images. This is useful for
calculating the required storage capacity and bandwidth during
installation.
✜ Variable Gamma Settings
Users can choose from six preset gamma curves. By selecting a
gamma curve that is appropriate for a given scene, captured
images can be reproduced clearly and sharply.

High Level of Security
✜ The DEPA Platform – Intelligent Video Analytics
The SNC-DM Series and SNC-DS Series cameras offer
intelligent video analytics, based on the Sony DEPA
platform. DEPA is a combined function of the
intelligence built in to the camera and rules/filters that
determine which images should be recorded or when
an alarm should be triggered. Using the network
camera Intelligent Motion Detection (IMD) function,
‘tagged’ objects and their associated metadata,
including object position, are sent either to the NSR
Series recorder or the IMZ-RS400 Series software. These
products then use the metadata, together with filters,
to analyze object movement and to perform a
predefined action, such as image recording or alarm
triggering. This method of distributed processing
minimizes server workload, network bandwidth, and
storage requirements.
✜ Day/Night Function
SNC-DM160SNC-DS60
The SNC-DM160 and SNC-DS60 cameras can switch from
day mode (color) to night mode (B/W) by replacing their
infrared-cut filter with a clear filter. Based on user presets,
the camera can toggle between day mode and night
mode using an external sensor or automatically in
response to surrounding light conditions. The camera
can simultaneously switch to night mode and provide a
trigger for near-IR illuminators via its external control port,
allowing it to operate even in zero lx*
*4Zero lx means the absence of visible light to the naked eye. Near-IR
illuminators are required to operate at zero lx.
✜ Bi-directional Audio
Users can connect an external microphone or an
audio amp to these cameras using the mic/line input
(switchable). In addition, the cameras are also
equipped with an active speaker output, enabling
users to sound an alert or make an announcement
from the camera unit via a remote location.
This significantly expands the possibilities of monitoring
applications.
✜ Voice Alert
The Voice Alert function allows users to upload up to
three pre-recorded audio files to the camera. These
can then be played out via a locally connected
speaker upon an alarm trigger.
The built-in IMD function can trigger a variety of
actions, such as the storage and transfer of images or
the activation of an external device through its output
relays. False alarms caused by noise and repeated
motion patterns are minimized thanks to an advanced
Sony algorithm. Plus, when used in conjunction with
DEPA-enabled recorders or software, a multitude of
filter functions are available. These allow you to initiate
alarms based on more specific movements, such as
passing a virtual borderline.

✜ Sensor IN/Alarm OUT Ports
✜ Date/Time Superimposition
Equipped with a sensor input, these cameras can
receive triggers from an external sensor. Also, two
alarm relay outputs can be used to trigger external
devices to perform a variety of actions.
✜ IEEE802.1X Compliant
These cameras support IEEE802.1X port-based
network access control. This means they can be
integrated to a network environment that uses the
IEEE802.1X client-authorization protocol for security
purposes.
Other Convenient Features
✜ Solid PTZ/Cropping Functions
SNC-DM160SNC-DM110
To minimize data size when network bandwidth is
limited, Solid PTZ and Cropping are useful features. The
Solid PTZ function allows users to select a specified area
within the camera's field of view at a lower resolution
such as VGA. By doing so, users can electronically pan,
tilt, and zoom within the image.
the Solid PTZ function can be used in conjunction with
motion detection, allowing users to monitor only areas
where there is movement and to automatically track
moving objects within the camera's field of view.
The cropping function allows users to freely crop
portions of the full-resolution megapixel image to
accentuate a monitoring area or to remove areas that
do not need to be monitored.
(See Fig. 4)
(See Fig. 5)
In addition,
The date and time of images recorded by these
cameras can be superimposed on the video while it is
being monitored and recorded. This makes it easy to
identify the exact date and time of an event during
playback. Also, because the information becomes
part of the video image, it is a useful feature when
providing video evidence to authorities. In addition, up
to 20 characters on a single line can be used to display
further information such as the monitoring location and
the camera name.
✜ Privacy Zone Masking
These cameras can mask up to seven unwanted or
prohibited areas within an image for privacy protection.
✜ Analog Composite Video Output
An analog composite video signal can be output via
the BNC connector. This feature is ideal for storing
images to a local recorder.
✜ 24 V AC, 12 V DC, or PoE Operation
These cameras offer a choice of three types of power:
24 V AC, 12 V DC, or PoE (Power-over-Ethernet, IEEE
802.3af). They automatically adapt to whichever
power source is used, making installation fast and
effective.
