Sony releases HD cameras

November 2010 Products & Solutions, Surveillance

Sony has introduced its first full-HD (1920 x 1080) network HD cameras, the SNC-CH240 and SNC-DH240. These dual-stream network full-HD cameras, supporting H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG compression formats, deliver excellent picture quality in 1080p HD resolution at 30 frames per second (fps).

Incorporating the new Exmor CMOS image sensor from Sony, which is specially designed for surveillance applications, these cameras feature state-of-the-art image-enhancement technology, such as View-DR which realises an extremely wide dynamic range. As a result, these cameras not only provide high-quality full-HD images but additionally deliver excellent sensitivity and visibility even in challenging lighting environments.

The new cameras offer:

* Full-HD 1080p resolution for advanced picture quality, supporting H.264 at 30 fps.

* 3 Megapixel (1920 x 1440) maximum resolution.

* Three codecs (H.264, MPEG-4, JPEG) and dual streaming capability.

* XDNR (excellent dynamic noise reduction) technology for clear images without motion blur under low illumination.

* DEPA Advanced Intelligent Video and Audio Analytics triggers an alarm, based on user-defined rules.

* Intelligent Motion Detection with virtual borderline function.

* Tamper slarm.

* Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability.
