Technology and Resolution up to 1.3 Megapixels – for Clear,
Detailed, and Amazingly Bright Surveillance Monitoring Images

Sony introduces a new generation of network mini-dome cameras: the SNC-DM Series Megapixel Network
Cameras and the SNC-DS Series Network Cameras. Incorporating advanced progressive scan CCDs with
ExwavePRO technology, they provide extremely clear and detailed images for surveillance monitoring
applications. And, unlike conventional network cameras that incorporate progressive scan CCDs with primary
color filters, these cameras use complementary color filters to provide amazingly bright and high-resolution
images even in dimly lit environments, which is a key requirement for surveillance monitoring.

The first line of Sony megapixel mini-dome cameras, the SNC-DM Series, has been especially designed for use in
security applications. Combining advanced ExwavePRO technology and a unique light funnel function, which
provides high sensitivity, they produce extremely bright images even when monitoring moving objects in dark
environments.

The SNC-DS Series is another powerful new addition to the Sony network mini-dome camera lineup. Just like the
SNC-DM Series, these progressive scan cameras incorporate ExwavePRO technology for excellent sensitivity.

Common to both mini-dome series are sophisticated features such as Intelligent Motion Detection, Constant Bit
Rate Algorithm, and flexible Gamma Curve Settings. These features provide not only high-quality images, but
also intelligent and efficient operational flexibility to meet user needs in various monitoring applications.

Designed with security in mind by focusing on camera sensitivity, Sony’s new mini-dome series outperforms
conventional progressive scan cameras, making it the right choice for your surveillance monitoring applications.

FEATURES

High-quality Images

✜ Progressive Scan CCD With ExwavePRO Technology

The SNC-DM Series and SNC-DS Series of cameras incorporate
advanced progressive scan CCDs with ExwavePRO technology.
They inherit the technical advantages of Sony ExwaveHAD
technology, while incorporating progressive scanning and
complementary color filters to provide extremely high sensitivity
levels and clear, crisp images in both daytime and nighttime
environments. Complementary color filters are well suited in
cameras used for security applications because the luminance
signal-to-noise ratio is higher than when using primary color filters.
These cameras, with ExwavePRO technology, provide bright
images in low light conditions even when the camera has a
resolution greater than 1,000,000 pixels. The minimum illumination
of the SNC-DM Series is 0.8 lx in color at F1.3, and the SNC-DS
Series is 0.3 lx in color at F1.3. (Fig. 1)

✜ Megapixel — High Resolution

SNC-DM160 SNC-DM110

The SNC-DM Series of cameras have a resolution of 1.3 megapixels,
which can reproduce clear and detailed images even at wide
viewing angles. These cameras are ideal for use at building
entrances and parking lots, where detailed images, such as those
of people’s faces and car license plates, are required. (Fig. 2)

✜ Light Funnel Function for High Sensitivity

SNC-DM160 SNC-DM110

*1

Unlike systems that use slow shutter speeds to provide bright
images, the 'Light Funnel' mechanism is such that image data for
every two pixels are combined vertically and horizontally
providing extremely bright images even when monitoring moving
objects at dusk. This function can be activated automatically in
response to surrounding light conditions or on a pre-specified time
schedule. (Fig. 3)

*1 When the light funnel function is activated, the image resolution is 640 x 480 (VGA).

✜ 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 the 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.

✜ Variable Gamma Settings

Users can choose from six preset gamma curves. By selecting a
gamma curve that is appropriate for a given scene, captured
images can be reproduced clearly and sharply.
