Sony’s Intelligent Mini-dome Cameras Provide a High Level
of Security, Anytime and Anywhere
Sony’s SNC-DF85/DF80/DF50 is an intelligent mini-dome camera lineup, designed for a variety of surveillance
and monitoring applications. The SNC-DF85 combines the benefi ts of both the SNC-DF80 and the SNC-DF50
– the tough camera body and Day/Night function of the SNC-DF80 and the wide dynamic range of the
SNC-DF50.
Housed in a heavy-duty aluminum die-cast enclosure with an impact-resistant polycarbonate dome, the
SNC-DF85/DF80 offers good protection against vandalism. Furthermore, its weather-resistant design guards
against damage from dust and water ingress when used in outdoor applications. In addition, the optional
YT-HU75 Heater Unit
low as -40° F (-40° C). The camera’s Day/Night function provides clear monitoring images in low light conditions.
The SNC-DF85/DF50 incorporates DynaView™ Technology, which contributes to the camera’s wide dynamic
range. It reduces ‘white-out’ in high-contrast shooting environments, such as lobbies, loading docks, outdoors
looking at entrances or canopies.
The SNC-DF85/DF80/DF50 incorporates advanced compression technologies to transmit image data in three
different formats, JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264, so that users can choose the best compression format depending
on their applications. With a 3.6x zoom, vari-focal lens that covers up to 100.8°, the SNC-DF85/DF80/DF50 can
be used to monitor tight areas requiring a large viewing angle. In addition, the PoE (power over ethernet)
capability makes installation quick, as well as possible savings in infrastructure cost.

FEATURES
The DEPA Platform –
Intelligent Video Analytics
Distributed Enhanced Processing Architecture (DEPA)
The SNC-DF85, 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
Intelligent Motion Detection (IMD) and Intelligent
Object Detection (IOD), and rules/fi lters that
determine what type of event should be
recorded.
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 fi lters, to analyze object movement
and to perform a predefi ned action, such as
image recording or alarm triggering. This method
of distributed processing minimizes server
workload, network bandwidth, and storage
requirements.
High-quality Images
Wide Dynamic Range With
DynaView Technology
SNC-DF85
The SNC-DF85 and SNC-DF50 incorporate
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 cameras capture
the same image twice – fi rst 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 high-contrast images with
proper color.

SuperExwave Technology
SNC-DF80
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.
