✜Dual-encoding Capability

With a dual-encoding capability, these cameras can generate both JPEG and MPEG-4 images simultaneously at 30 fps when the image size is set to VGA*3. This capability is useful for transferring MPEG-4 images over a WAN or an Internet VPN where network bandwidth is limited, while also storing high-resolution JPEG images on a LAN-based server.

*3 The frame rate varies depending on the file size.

SNC-DM160 SNC-DS60

The SNC-DM160 and SNC-DS60 cameras can switch from day mode (color) to night mode (B/W) by replacing their infrared-cut filter with a clear filter. Based on user presets, the camera can toggle between day mode and night mode using an external sensor or automatically in response to surrounding light conditions. The camera can simultaneously switch to night mode and provide a

✜The DEPA Platform – Intelligent Video Analytics

The SNC-DM Series and SNC-DS Series cameras offer 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. Using the network camera Intelligent Motion Detection (IMD) function, ‘tagged’ objects and their associated metadata, including object position, are sent either to the NSR Series recorder or the IMZ-RS400 Series software. These products then use the metadata, together with filters, to analyze object movement and to perform a predefined action, such as image recording or alarm triggering. This method of distributed processing minimizes server workload, network bandwidth, and storage requirements.

✜Bi-directional Audio

Users can connect an external microphone or an audio amp to these cameras using the mic/line input (switchable). In addition, the cameras are also equipped with an active speaker output, enabling users to sound an alert or make an announcement from the camera unit via a remote location.

This significantly expands the possibilities of monitoring applications.

✜Voice Alert

The Voice Alert function allows users to upload up to three pre-recorded audio files to the camera. These can then be played out via a locally connected speaker upon an alarm trigger.

✜Intelligent Motion Detection

The built-in IMD function can trigger a variety of actions, such as the storage and transfer of images or the activation of an external device through its output relays. False alarms caused by noise and repeated motion patterns are minimized thanks to an advanced Sony algorithm. Plus, when used in conjunction with DEPA-enabled recorders or software, a multitude of filter functions are available. These allow you to initiate alarms based on more specific movements, such as passing a virtual borderline.
