Sony announces its latest line-up, the sixth generation (G6) network cameras, comprising eight new Full-HD video security cameras that deliver on the ever increasing demand for greater image clarity the video security market requires.
The new G6 cameras include:
• V-series1 SNC-VB640, SNC-VB642D, SNC-VM641, SNC-VM642R
• E-series2 SNC-EB640, SNC-EB642R, SNC-EM641, SNC-EM642R
Improved image sensitivity
Using advanced imaging technology, Sony’s G6 cameras offer security professionals clear detail and higher visibility with excellent low-light sensitivity, ideal for a wide range of demanding applications, including city, transport, and commercial surveillance.
Further displaying Sony´s heritage in core technologies, the latest G6 cameras are equipped with high performance image sensors, lenses, and image processors. They can capture images beyond the reach of conventional security cameras, providing security professionals with better visibility and greater accuracy.
With the high sensitivity, colour integrity of images is maintained even in poorly-lit conditions allowing operators ease of identification |
Noise and ghost free images
This improved sensitivity is made possible with Sony’s Exmor R CMOS sensor and eXcellent Dynamic Noise Reduction (XDNR). The technologies offer optimum clarity with noise and ghost free images, allowing the new cameras to achieve the minimum illumination figure of 0.006 lux (30IRE), 0.01(50IRE)3. With the high sensitivity, colour integrity of images is maintained even in poorly-lit conditions allowing operators ease of identification. This low light capability is especially invaluable in applications such as city surveillance at night, which is increasingly common and a fast-growing area of demand in the security industry.
High-quality IR images
Security professionals can now capture objects in the dark from a distance of up to 100m with the V-series and up to 60m with the E-series network cameras. This extended range is possible thanks to the Exmor R sensor. Together with the powerful integrated IR illuminator, the cameras are able to capture high-quality IR images without overexposure. This industry-leading feature equips security personnel with more accurate and insightful imagery, encouraging swift and intelligent decisions.
Back-up storage functionality
Reacting to the increasing customer requirement for SD card recording and 2-way audio, Sony ensures that the new E-series is equipped with a stronger feature set. The SD card is a back-up option in the event of network outage where the camera loses connection. It can continue recording while the connection is being restored, providing security personnel peace of mind.
Remote intercom and audio recording
Further, the new E-series now supports 2-way audio features, providing users with remote intercom and audio recording functionality in a cost-effective package, wherever it is needed.
These new features of Sony’s V and E-series range not only provide enhanced imaging technology, but also incorporate the same user Interface, usability and network video management software connectivity that is present in Sony’s existing solutions.
