Ball-Joint Lens Mount Technology
With the Sony patented Ball-Joint Lens Mount mechanism incorporated into the vari-focal lens of these cameras, the lens can be rotated freely in any direction. Unlike conventional cameras, it takes only one action to adjust the pan and tilt angles, allowing for quick and easy adjustment of the camera’s viewing angle during installation.

Ruggedized Design SNC-DF80
The vandal-resistant SNC-DF80 camera is housed in a heavy-duty, aluminum die-cast enclosure with an impact-resistant polycarbonate dome. It complies with the IP66*5 standard, and offers additional water resistance by using a special inner conduit for the camera cables. For cold-weather outdoor applications, the optional YT-HU75 Heater Unit is available. This allows the camera to be used in severe temperatures as low as -40 °F (-40 °C).
*5 Ingress Protection (IP) standard is a system for numerically classifying the degree of protection provided by enclosures of electrical equipment against solid objects and liquids. IP66 means there is no ingress of dust and
the equipment is protected against powerful water jets.

Compression Formats
These multi-codec cameras support three compression formats: JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264. The industry- standard JPEG compression format is the best choice for high-quality still images. MPEG-4 provides clear moving images efficiently over networks when bandwidth is limited. And H.264 provides twice the efficiency of MPEG-4, for when bandwidth is even more limited.
Dual-encoding Capability
With a dual-encoding capability, these cameras can generate both MPEG-4 and JPEG images simultaneously. For example, the system can be set up to transfer MPEG-4 images over a WAN or an Internet VPN where network bandwidth is limited, while storing high-resolution JPEG images on a server that’s configured on your LAN.

Day/Night Function SNC-DF80
The SNC-DF80 camera can switch from day mode (color) to night mode (B/W) by replacing its infrared- cut filter with a clear filter. Users can toggle between the two modes in different ways, either manually, on a predefined schedule, using an external sensor, or automatically in response to the scene illumination. When the camera is in night mode, it is sensitive to near-IR illuminators, allowing it to operate even in zero lx*6 conditions.
*6 Zero lx means the absence of visible light to the naked eye. IR illuminators are required to operate at zero lx.
