The camera’s vandal-resistant design meets IK10 standards (protection against mechanical impact), making the SNC-EM601 ideal for use in environments where there’s a risk of physical tampering or damage.

View fine detail in a wide range of everyday video security and surveillance environments, from retail spaces to banks and schools. The high resolution Exmor CMOS sensor assures crisp, clear HD 720p images – even in low light conditions like dimly-lit car parks.

At the heart of Sony’s G6 (sixth generation) camera family, the powerful IPELA ENGINE EX processing platform combines several technologies for optimises HD picture quality. View-DR combines images taken at different shutter speeds, delivering a wide dynamic range up to 130 dB for excellent performance in high contrast, strongly backlit environments.

The in-built image stabiliser minimises the effects of camera shake – for example when the camera’s pole mounted or subject to mechanical vibration. With clearer, more stable video images it’s easier to see what’s happening in any scene.

In-built motion detection can trigger a range of actions, from storage and transfer of images to sounding of external alarms. False alarms caused by noise, weather and environment noise are minimised by a smart processing algorithm. Human face detection is also supported, allowing rapid indexing of recordings to find events where a face is visible in the scene.

Powerful DEPA Advanced video analytics enhances Intelligent Motion Detection with rule-based alarm triggers, providing alerts with object filters like ‘passing’ and ‘intrusion’ to further reduce false alarms.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the camera be powered using the same Ethernet cable that’s used for data transfer, reducing installation complexity and costs.

Remotely view live camera images and control PTZ position with your Android or iOS smartphone or tablet. You don’t even need to download a special app.

Support for ONVIF simplifies interoperability with other network video devices. The ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) defines a common protocol for the exchange of information between network video devices, including automatic device discovery and video streaming.

Configure up to three simultaneous IP video streams to suit your operating needs. For example, one stream for high quality live viewing; another for storage-efficient recording; and a third for viewing over a low bandwidth connection or on mobile devices.

In extreme low light conditions the camera switches automatically to a special night-time monitoring mode, removing the IR-cut filter and extending sensitivity to infra-red wavelengths. Sophisticated video processing ensures crisp, clearly-visible colour images in light levels as low as 0.05 lx. During the day, the IR-cut filter assures excellent image clarity and colour accuracy, even in bright sunlight.
