Find out here how to monitor a whole scene in HD quality with the latest IPELA C Series Security Camera

It’s easier than ever for small business owners to monitor their premises round the clock against the risk of intrusion and disturbances.

The SNC-CX600W is a compact, affordable wireless security camera that’s ideal for safeguarding offices, restaurants, hotels and other small business premises.

Offering crisp, clear HD 720p picture quality, the SNC-CX600W includes many of the core imaging technologies featured in Sony’s latest generation of video security camera range. Powered by the acclaimed IPELA ENGINE EX signal processing platform, you’ll enjoy excellent imaging quality plus intelligent analytics.

The discreet, smartly styled fixed camera surveys the scene with a wide (120°) horizontal viewing angle. A passive infrared (PIR) sensor can detect a subject with a higher temperature than the room temperature in the camera’s field of view in total darkness, illuminating surroundings automatically with a white LED or when activated by the user. The PIR sensor can also trigger other actions, like recording on optional memory card, giving voice alerts via the built-in speaker or sending an email notification.

Set-up is quick and easy: wireless operation means that no networking cables are required, making installation even simpler for homes and small businesses. HD video can be streamed over IP networks and also saved to the camera’s on-board micro SD memory card for later review.

Features

  • Survey the whole scene with HD quality

    The fixed camera’s fixed lens covers entrances, doorways, public areas and store rooms with a wide (120°) horizontal angle of view. The high resolution Exmor CMOS sensor assures crisp HD (1280 x 720) video images.

  • Best-ever imaging performance with IPELA ENGINE EX

    Excellent imaging performance is assured by the inclusion of core technologies featured in the latest generation of video security camera range. Powered by the IPELA ENGINE EX signal processing platform, XDNR (Excellent Dynamic Noise Reduction) and Visibility Enhancer ensure clearer low-light images; DEPA Advanced analytics can trigger alarms based on user-determined rules.

  • Always ready for action, even in the dark

    The passive infrared (PIR) sensor can detect a subject with a higher temperature than the room temperature in the camera’s field of view in total darkness, switching on white-light LED illuminators that capture clear colour images up to a distance of 3m from the camera. The sensor can also activate a range of other functions, such as triggering a voice alert, starting recording or sending an email notification.

  • More stable images

    The in-built image stabiliser helps reduce the effects of camera shake for crisper, clearer images with reduced blur.

  • Easy wireless networking, fewer cables

    On-board Wi-Fi simplifies installation by eliminating the need for dedicated network cables. IP video is streamed wirelessly over your wireless network. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) allows easy wireless network security set-up at the touch of a button. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) standards ensure reliable QoS (Quality of Service) for stable network transmission.

  • Automatic recording

    Video images can be recorded directly to an optional micro SD card (not included) for later analysis. Recording can be started manually, or automatically via an alert triggered by the passive infrared (PIR) sensor, or integrated analytics. Search, playback and export from the SD card is available directly via the web browser interface when using Internet Explorer®

  • Hear and be heard

    The camera’s built-in microphone and loudspeaker enable two-way audio communication – ideal for use as an intercom. In addition, the passive infrared sensor can trigger playback of a pre-recorded Voice Alert message through the speaker when motion is detected.

  • Small, stylish and discreet

    The camera’s compact profile blends discreetly into a wide range of commercial environments.

  • ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) compliance

    The camera’s compact profile blends discreetly into a wide range of commercial environments.
