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.

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

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.

Day/Night Function
SNC-DF85
SNC-DF80
The SNC-DF85 and SNC-DF80 cameras can switch
from day mode (color) to night mode (B/W) by
replacing its infrared-cut fi lter with a clear fi lter.
Users can toggle between the two modes in
different ways, either manually, on a predefi ned
schedule, using an external sensor, or automatically
in response to the scene illumination. When the
camera is in night mode, it is sensitive to near-IR
illuminators, allowing it to operate even in zero lx
*3
conditions.
*3
Zero lx means the absence of visible light to the naked eye.
IR illuminators are required to operate at zero lx.
Dynamic Frame Integration
These cameras incorporate Dynamic Frame
Integration (DFI) technology to reproduce clear
images that contain both still and moving objects.
DFI technology detects movement within the
image and reproduces those areas with minimal
blurring, while areas with little or no movement are
displayed naturally with minimal jagged edges.
This unique algorithm also takes advantage of the
interlaced-scan CCD, which is inherently more
sensitive than progressive-scan CCDs and can
provide clear images even in low light conditions.

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 these 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.

Ball-Joint Lens Mount Technology
With the Sony patented Ball-Joint Lens Mount
mechanism incorporated into the vari-focal lens
of these cameras, the lens can be rotated freely in
any direction. Unlike conventional cameras, it
takes only one action to adjust the pan and tilt
angles, allowing for quick and easy adjustment of
the camera’s viewing angle during installation.
These multi-codec cameras support three
compression formats: JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264.
The industry-standard JPEG compression format is
the best choice for high-quality still images.
MPEG-4 provides clear moving images effi ciently
over networks when bandwidth is limited. And
H.264 provides twice the effi ciency of MPEG-4, for
when bandwidth is even more limited.
Dual-encoding Capability
With a dual-encoding capability, these cameras
can stream both JPEG and MPEG-4 simultaneously.
For example, the system can be set up to transfer
MPEG-4 images over a WAN or an Internet VPN
where network bandwidth is limited, while storing
high-resolution JPEG images on a server that’s
confi gured on your LAN.
Ruggedized Design
SNC-DF85
SNC-DF80
The vandal-resistant SNC-DF85 and SNC-DF80
cameras are housed in a heavy-duty, aluminum
die-cast enclosure with an impact-resistant
polycarbonate dome. It complies with the IP66*5
standard, and offers additional water resistance
by using a special inner conduit for the camera
cables. For cold-weather outdoor applications,
the optional YT-HU75 Heater Unit is available.
This allows the camera to be used in severe
temperatures as low as -40 °F (-40 °C).

High Level of Security
Versatile Interfaces
Intelligent Motion Detection (IMD)
The built-in IMD functions of these cameras 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 fi lter functions are available. These
allow you to initiate alarms based on more
specifi c movements, such as passing a virtual
borderline or appearing into a virtual area.
Intelligent Object Detection (IOD)
The SNC-DF85, SNC-DF80, and SNC-DF50 cameras
can detect objects that have been abandoned
or become stationary for a specifi ed duration
within up to four designated detection areas. This
feature is useful for detecting suspicious objects
left in public places, or for detecting stalled cars
or accidents on the road. As with IMD, fi lters can
be used to refi ne this intelligence if the camera is
confi gured with DEPA-enabled products.

Analog Composite Video Output
These cameras can output an analog composite
video signal via the BNC connector. This feature is
ideal for outputting images to a local recording
device or monitor.
Other Convenient Features
Date/Time Superimposition
The date and time of images recorded by these
cameras can be superimposed on the video while it is
being monitored and recorded. This feature is ideal for
easily identifying 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.
File Export to Removable Media
SNC-DF85 SNC-DF80
The SNC-DF85 and SNC-DF80 cameras are equipped
with a Compact Flash™ (CF) card slot, allowing users
