The DEPA Platform –
Intelligent Video Analytics

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 IMD
and IOD, and rules/filters that determine
which images should be recorded or
when an alarm should be triggered.

Intelligent Motion Detection

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

DynaView technology in the SNC-DF85
and SNC-DF50, enhance the cameras’
dynamic range by 128 times. The
cameras capture the same image
twice – combining the dark areas
from a normal shutter speed with the
bright areas at high shutter speed into
one image. Advanced white balance
circuits reproduce high-contrast with
proper colour.

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 analogue
composite video output, which
provides amazingly clear and
detailed images.

Day/Night Function

The SNC-DF85 and SNC-DF80 cameras
can switch from day mode (color)
to night mode (B/W) by replacing its
infrared-cut filter with a clear filter.
Users can toggle between the
two manually, on a predefined
schedule using an external sensor, or
automatically in response to available
light. In night mode, sensitivity to near-IR
illuminators, allow operation in even
in zero conditions.

Dynamic Frame Integration

Frame Integration (DFI) technology
detects movement within the image
and reproduces those areas with
minimal blurring, while displaying areas
with little or no movement naturally.
DFI provides clear images – even in
low light conditions.

JPEG Picture Quality Settings With
Constant Bitrate Algorithm

Users can preset the JPEG picture
quality from a choice of ten levels.
Data bitrate can be limited while still
maintaining high-quality images - ideal
for calculating storage capacity and
bandwidth during installation.

Wall- or Ceiling-mountable/Easy
Viewing-angle Adjustment

This range can be easily wall- or ceiling
mounted.** An analogue composite
output (RCA jack), enables the camera
image to be monitored locally while the
viewing angle is adjusted, making
focus and viewing-angle adjustment
both accurate and easy.

** Supplied bracket is required when the SNC-DF85

and SNC-DF80 are wall- or ceiling-mounted.

Powerful 3.6x Zoom, Vari-focal Lens

These cameras come equipped with
a 3.6x zoom, vari-focal lens that covers
an extremely wide range of viewing
angles from 100.8° (wide-angle) to 27.7°
(telephoto).

Ball-Joint Lens Mount Technology

Sony patented Ball-Joint Lens Mount
mechanism enables the lens to be
rotated freely in any direction. Unlike
conventional cameras, it takes only one
action to adjust the pan and tilt angles,
ideal for viewing angle adjustment
during installation.

Ruggedized Design

The vandal-resistant SNC-DF85 and
SNC-DF80 comply with the IP66
standard, and offer additional water
resistance by using a special inner
conduit for the camera cables. The
optional YT-HU75 Heater Unit allows
the camera to be used in severe
temperatures as low as -40 °C (-40 °F).

Operational Flexibility

Selectable JPEG, MPEG-4, H.264
Compression Formats

These multi-codec cameras support
three compression formats: JPEG,
MPEG-4, and H.264. The industry­standard JPEG compression format
is the best choice for high-quality still
images. MPEG-4 provides clear moving
images efficiently over networks when
bandwidth is limited. And H.264 provides
twice the efficiency of MPEG-4, for when
bandwidth is even more limited.

Dual-encoding Capability

With a dual-encoding capability, these
cameras can generate both MPEG-4
and JPEG images 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 configured on your LAN.

Bi-directional Audio

Users can connect an external
microphone to these cameras
in order to pick up audio from a
preferred location. They are also
equipped withan 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.

High Level of Security

Intelligent Motion Detection (IMD)

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 or
appearing into a virtual area.

Intelligent Object Detection (IOD)

The SNC-DF85, SNC-DF80, and SNC­DF50 cameras can detect objects that
have been abandoned or become
stationary for a specified 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, filters can be
used to refine this intelligence if
the camera is configured with
DEPA-enabled products.

Sensor IN/Alarm OUT Ports

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.

Pre-/Post-alarm Image Storage

These cameras are capable of
storing both preand post-alarm
images on 16 MB of built-in memory
or on removable storage media.

Network Security Features

IEEE802.1X Compliant

The SNC-DF85, SNC-DF80, and SNC­DF50 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.

Versatile Interfaces

Analogue Composite Video Output

These cameras can output an
analogue composite video signal via
the BNC connector. This feature is ideal
for outputting images to a local
recording device or monitor.

Other 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

The SNC-DF85 and SNC-DF80 cameras
are equipped with a Compact Flash
(CF) card slot, allowing users to export
images on CF media as required.

Privacy Zone Masking*

These cameras can mask up to seven
unwanted or prohibited areas within an

image for privacy protection.

*8 Supplied “SNC Privacy Masking Tool” software is

required to set masking areas.
