Sony recently announced four new IP cameras which feature the company’s IPELA ENGINE EX integrated signal processing system. The line-up from Sony includes three new X Series cameras (SNC-XM632, SNC-XM636, SNC-XM637) and the SNC-VB635 full HD IP camera with a half-inch CMOS sensor. The latest cameras produce clear, sharp HD images with minimised noise even under severe lighting conditions. They achieve this by harnessing the power of the IPELA ENGINE EX technology platform, through View-DR wide-dynamic range technology, XDNR noise reduction technology, and frame rates ranging from 30 frames a second up to 60 frames a second in full HD. The addition of these new cameras strengthens Sony’s offering for outdoor and transportation applications, such as in-vehicle surveillance or environments with exceptionally low light conditions.
“Security scenarios in transportation are becoming more complex than ever, and conventional IP-based surveillance may not be sufficiently equipped to handle rapidly-moving subjects or facial recognition in low light environments,” said Mr. Riki Nishimura, General Manager of Visual Security Solutions Division, Professional Solutions Company (PSAP) at Sony Electronics Asia Pacific. “We’ve designed our X Series cameras with a much better wide dynamic range capability that is adaptable to varying light conditions, for instance in viewing subjects within a vehicle carriage against strong outdoor lighting, or when travelling in and out of a tunnel. The X Series cameras also offer a much wider viewing angle with different fixed lens options to suit different installation positions, such as for a narrower view inside a vehicle, or a wider view for monitoring the reverse view of a vehicle. These cameras are ideal solutions for public transport operators looking to outfit their buses, coaches or trains to ensure clear and detailed surveillance.”
