Reproducing Extremely Clear and Detailed Images, Sony Intelligent Mini-dome Cameras Provide a High Level of Security – Anytime, Anywhere

Sony introduces powerful new additions to its network mini-dome camera lineup, the

SNC-DF80 and SNC-DF50, both of which support Intelligent Video Analytics.

efficient and intelligent processing method based on the Sony DEPA

platform can

provide great operational efficiency and a high level of security. The SNC-DF80 and

SNC-DF50 incorporate advanced compression technologies to transmit image data in

three different formats: JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264. These cameras also employ

robust detection methods – Intelligent Motion Detection (IMD) and Intelligent Object

Detection (IOD) – to maximize the efficiency of the monitoring system. For easy setup,

these cameras incorporate the Sony patented Ball-Joint Lens Mount mechanism,

which provides quick and easy adjustment of the camera‘s viewing angle during

installation. The SNC-DF80 camera is designed to be used both indoors and outdoors

and features a vandal- and weather-resistant

and delivers exceptionally clear images. The camera is also designed for 24x7

operation thanks to its Day/Night function, which can produce detailed images even

in zero lx

lighting conditions.

This

The SNC-DF50 camera is compact in size, employs a highly sensitive imager, and

incorporates unique Sony DynaView

technology to reproduce images with wide

dynamic ranges, making it ideal for use in extremely high-contrast environments.

With other useful features such as a Voice Alert function, Date/Time Superimposition,

and Privacy Zone Masking, these Sony intelligent mini-dome cameras are ideal for a

wide variety of surveillance and monitoring applications.

Intelligent video analytics is available when these cameras are used in conjunction with the Sony Network Recorder NSR Series Ver. 4.0 or higher, the Sony Intelligent Monitoring Software IMZ-RS400 Series Ver.4.0 or higher, or third-party hardware and software designed to operate with these cameras to perform video analytics.

An optional YT-HU75 Heater Unit is required when the camera is used in temperatures less than

-13 °F (-10 °C).

Zero lx means the absence of visible light to the naked eye. IR illuminators are required to operate at zero lx.

Features

The DEPA Platform – Intelligent Video Analytics

The SNC-DF80 and SNC-DF50 cameras offer intelligent video analytics, based on the Sony DEPA platform. This comprises two elements: intelligent built-in camera functions, such as IMD and IOD, and rules/filters that determine which images should be recorded or when an alarm should be triggered.

When the network cameras perform IMD or IOD, ‘tagged’ objects and their associated metadata, including object position data, 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.

High-quality Images

SuperExwave Technology

The SNC-DF80 incorporates an advanced 1/3-type CCD with SuperExwave technology that achieves extremely high sensitivity levels. The camera provides a minimum illumination of 0.6 lx in color and 0.06 lx in B/W at F1.3, allowing it to capture clear and detailed images even under low light conditions. The high-quality CCD imager, in combination with the camera’s state-of-the-art DSP technology, produces a high horizontal resolution of 540 TV lines via the analog composite video output, which provides amazingly clear and detailed images.

Wide Dynamic Range With DynaView Technology

The SNC-DF50 incorporates DynaView technology, which dramatically improves camera dynamic range by 128 times when compared to conventional cameras. This results in clear image reproduction, even in extreme high-contrast environments. The camera captures the same image twice – first with a normal shutter speed, and then with a high shutter speed. The dark areas captured at normal shutter speed and the bright areas captured at high shutter speed are then combined into one image using an advanced DSP LSI. Additionally, as these high-contrast scenes may have different lighting conditions, two white balance circuits are employed – one for normal shutter speed and the other for high shutter speed. This advanced technique reproduces highcontrast images with proper color.
