Full-HD video cameras

by Mark Rowe

Sony has launched eight new Full-HD video security cameras to its latest line up of sixth generation (G6) range of network cameras. The new video security V and E series cameras include:

– V-Series: SNC-VB640, SNC-VB642D, SNC-VM641, SNC-VM642R
(Main features:1080p/60 fps, High sensitivity, View-DR, Audio, SD card, Easy Focus, PoE, AC24V/DC12V, Sensor Input/Output)

– E-Series: SNC-EB640, SNC-EB642R, SNC-EM641 (pictured), and SNC-EM642R
(Main features:1080p/60 fps, High sensitivity, View-DR, Audio, SD card, Easy Focus, PoE,)

Sony says that these cameras offer detail and higher visibility through low-light sensitivity, suitable the firm says for a range of applications, including city, transport and commercial surveillance. These upgraded G6 cameras include image sensors, lenses and image processors. The new V and E series cameras can capture images beyond the reach of conventional cameras, it’s claimed.

The products come with the Exmor R CMOS sensor and eXcellent Dynamic Noise Reduction (XDNR), offering the company says noise and ghost free images, achieving the minimum illumination figure of 0.006 lux(30IRE)* and 0.01 lux(50IRE)*. The colour integrity of images is maintained even in poor light, according to the manufacturers.

Users can capture objects in dark conditions from a distance of up to 100m with the V-series, and up to 60m with the E-series, according to the makers. This coverage is made possible through the addition of the Exmor R sensor into these enhanced cameras. The Exmor R sensor with the integrated IR illuminator ensures the cameras are able to capture IR images without overexposure, it is claimed.

Reacting to the customer requirement for SD card recording and two-way audio, Sony has made the SD card as a back-up option in the event of network outage where the camera loses connection. With this feature, the camera can continue recording while the connection is being restored. The new E-Series now supports two-way audio features, providing users with remote intercom and audio recording.

Roger Lawrence, Video Security Product Manager at Sony Professional Solutions Europe said: “High-quality imagery is at the heart of our business, which is why we continue to invest in new technologies to bring our customers the best possible images they’re trying to capture. Investing in these technologies is all about meeting the changing needs of our customers, which is why these new solutions have been designed with features that help users improve accuracy and make quicker decisions, from improved visibility in low light to increased range.”
