Sony Security cameras

Sony Professional announced new additions to its X series security camera range, further enhancing its powerful line-up of solutions. At Security Essen 2010 Sony Professional showcased five new models from its X series of cameras, as well as its new Plug and Play NSR-S20 recording solution for X series cameras.The latest additions to the X series camera range are compact in size but boast excellent full HD and HD picture quality by incorporating Sony's Advanced Distributed Enhanced Processing Architecture (DEPA). New models include a fixed camera, the SNC-CH110; two mini dome cameras, the SNC-DH110 and SNC-DH210; and two impact-resistant mini dome cameras, the SNC-DH110T and SNC-DH210T.X series cameras are some of the world's smallest HD cameras, allowing them to be fitted into the smallest of spaces for discrete use. The cameras' ultra compact size and a compelling price point are attained with no compromise on the power or performance available. Moreover, the cameras are extremely energy-efficient; consuming an estimated 75% less energy than a conventional 11.2w full HD fixed box camera. An innovative design for quick installation, variety of colours including silver, black or white, and full HD quality means that the new cameras are particularly suited to use in retail applications. The innovative Stream Squared function of the X series in particular allows simultaneous streaming of two 4:3 aspect ratio videos in user-selectable SD resolutions. An entire image or a part of an image can be selected from the original view and resized to SD resolution. This means it can stream a wide-angle view and a close-up shot at the same time. It is perfect for keeping a close eye on high-risk spots while keeping the wider picture in sight simultaneously. With this feature, the 720p X series cameras can replace two SD cameras installed in the same line of view - saving on costs. Bruno Winnen, Head of Video Security, Sony Professional commented: "HD remains a key focus for Sony and Security Essen 2010 is the ideal platform to demonstrate Sony's understanding of the security market and the needs of our customers. The latest line up of cameras creates easy migration to IP and the Plug and Play NSR offers a versatile and reliable recording solution. The full HD family of cameras across the X series combine cost-effective, entry level cameras with fixed and mini dome versions to create a truly innovative portfolio."   See images with captions

With the introduction of the SNC-RX530 and SNC-RX570, Sony now offers a complete family of intelligent network speed dome cameras. The new SNC-RX530 sits at the entry-level, with the established SNC-RX550 as the mid-range solution and the new SNC-RX570 at the high end.  This choice allows users to select the model that offers the optimum price/performance ratio for their surveillance needs. The original SNC-RX550 has a 26x optical zoom, enabling it to zoom in on small or distant objects with exceptional clarity.  The new models offer different zoom capabilities to match different application needs.  For example, the SNC-RX530 has an 18x optical zoom for less zoom-intensive surveillance activities, while the SNC-RX570 has a massive 36x optical zoom for applications that need the best-possible performance. All three models also offer a 12x digital zoom that, when combined with the optical zoom, expands the maximum zoom capability even further to 216x (RX530), 312x (RX550) and 432x (RX570). Furthermore, these high-performance, highly versatile cameras also offer fast 360º endless panning and a tilt range of 90º.  This allows users to precisely monitor almost any object surrounding the camera.  And with the Auto Flip function, they can also "chase" a target passing under the camera, such as a person walking or running down a corridor. Advanced functionality - across the family All SNC-RX models are equipped with a 1/4-type CCD featuring Exwave HAD technology.  This provides high sensitivity at low light levels - even infrared conditions when used with the Day/Night function - making the cameras suited to 24x7 outdoor security applications, such as car-park monitoring. Users can choose from three video compression formats: JPEG, MPEG4 and H.264, as well as three different picture sizes: VGA, QVGA and QQVGA.  Plus, both JPEG and MPEG4 video can be streamed simultaneously; JPEG over a local network for recording and MPEG4 over the Internet for monitoring. Furthermore, on the new SNC-RX530 and SNC-RX570 - and with the latest firmware update for the SNC-RX550 - camera intelligence has been taken to the next level.  The Intelligent Motion Detection function now has a modified GUI and a detection algorithm that keeps more consistent ID tags on moving objects.  While Intelligent Object Detection features an improved detection algorithm with sensitive auto-iris adjustment that reduces false alarms. Bi-directional audio has also been improved.  Users can still monitor audio from the camera side (via an optional microphone) and play out live or pre-recorded audio (via an optional speaker), but an improved audio upload tool means they can now also transmit audio to multiple cameras at the same time.
