SNC-DH260

E Series mini-dome Full HD (1080p) resolution
outdoor vandal-resistant network security camera
with IR illumination

The SNC-DH260 is an outdoor vandal-resistant high
definition (1080p, supporting H.264 at 30fps) 3
Megapixel mini-dome camera with Optical Day/Night
function, IR Illumination, DEPA and ONVIF compli­ance. It supports dual streaming and triple codec en­coding.

Sony’s Exmor CMOS sensor provides excellent pic­tures and event detection for effective evidence gath­ering.

Sony’s E-Series cameras have outstanding picture
quality and a range of features at an affordable price.

1-year PrimeSupport is included as standard within
the EU, Norway and Switzerland. This gives users ac­cess to an expert helpdesk and, in the unlikely event
of a failure, will arrange for an advance replacement
unit to be delivered within a target time of one work­ing day. An additional 2-years support is also avail­able as an option.

Features

DEPA

The SNC-DH260 offers intelligent video analytics,
based on the Sony DEPA platform. DEPA is a com­bined function of the intelligence built in to the cam­era and rules/filters that determine which images
should be recorded or when an alarm should be
triggered.

EXMOR® and CMOS Sensor®

High resolution CMOS sensor® with low noise charac­teristics for improved image acquisition. Derived from
Sony’s broadcast product range, EXMOR® is one of
the highest quality image sensors available.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability

Supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE), the camera
can be powered using the same Ethernet cable it uses
for data transfer. This feature greatly reduces the
physical infrastructure costs and speed of
deployment.

ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) compliance

The ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)
defines a common protocol for the exchange of in­formation between network video devices including
automatic device discovery and video streaming. Al­lows interoperability between network video devices.

Full HD (1920x1080p) resolution

Detailed Full HD progressive images. Progressive ac­quisition (as opposed to interlace) means that images
are more stable to view, contain more information
and compress more efficiently - without “interlace
artifacts".

Supports multiple industry standard codecs: H264, MPEG-4 and JPEG with dual streaming capability

This multi-codec camera supports three compression
formats: JPEG, the best choice of high-quality still im­ages; MPEG-4, the format that provides clear moving
images efficiently over limited-bandwidth networks;
and H.264, the alternative for severely limited-band­width networks, providing twice the efficiency of
MPEG-4. The camera can generate multiple streams
simultaneously.

Stream Squared Function

An incredibly useful function that allows simultaneous
streaming of two 4:3 aspect ratio videos in user-se­lectable SD resolutions. You can select the entire im­age or a portion of the image from the original view
and resize to SD resolution. With this feature the
SNC-DH220 can replace two SD cameras installed in
the same line of view.

Optical Day/Night

Optimises sensitivity in day and night conditions. As
night falls, an infra-red filter is automatically removed
and the camera switches to monochrome. In this
mode, the camera can acquire images extremely low
light conditions.

IR Illuminators

Built-in IR (Infrared) illuminators provide assistance
to the camera when capturing objects in the dark.
