click: sony.com/sonysports

Sony is pleased to introduce a powerful addition to its network HD camera lineup, the SNC-DH180.
This vandal-resistant, wide dynamic range camera is designed with a built-in infrared (IR) illuminator.
As a dual-stream network camera, it supports H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG
compression formats, and delivers excellent picture quality in HD 720p
resolution at 30 frames per second (fps).

Incorporating the new Exmor™ CMOS image sensor from Sony, which is
specially designed for surveillance applications, this rugged camera
features state-of-the-art image-enhancement technology, View-DR, which
demonstrates an extremely wide dynamic range. The SNC-DH180 also features
an IR illuminator to deliver quality images even in absolute darkness (0 lx)*.
Along with a host of superb features such as DEPA™ Advanced, PoE, a built-in
heater, and the Easy Focus/Easy Zoom function, the SNC-DH180 Mini Dome
Network Camera is ideal for the most demanding surveillance applications.

* 0 lx requires the use of IR illuminators. IR rays are not visible to the human eye.
