The high-resolution Exmor CMOS sensor captures crisp, HD video images (up to 1280 x 1024 at 30fps), even in low light. Class-leading sensitivity assures improved picture quality in low light conditions like dimly-lit car parks.

Sony’s powerful IPELA ENGINE EX processing platform combines several technologies that optimise 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. Visibility Enhancer (VE) dynamically optimises brightness and colour tone on a pixel-by-pixel basis, while XDNR (eXcellent Dynamic Noise Reduction) reduces noise, minimising motion blur under low illumination.

Powerful DEPA Advanced video analytics enhances Intelligent Motion Detection and rule-based alarm triggers, providing alerts with object filters like ‘passing’ and ‘intrusion’ to further reduce false alarms. Face Detection allows rapid indexing of recordings to find events where a human face is visible in the scene.

Built-in infrared (IR) illuminators assist with capturing objects in complete darkness, up to 25m (tentative) from the camera. View-DR technology ensures that clear black-and-white images can be seen both near and far from the camera without overexposure.

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

True D/N (Day/Night) function automatically switches the camera to Day or Night mode, depending on ambient light levels.

Select VBR (variable bitrate), CBR (constant bitrate), or VBR with cap (variable bitrate with limit) compression modes for optimised network bandwidth control with given IP network conditions and recording storage capacity.

Securely access the camera using a smartphone or tablet (Android or iOS) to view images remotely and control pan, tilt, and zoom functions. You don’t even need to download a special app.

The integrated sunshade protects the lens from direct sun glare, making the camera particularly suitable for outdoor use in direct sunlight.

The unitised camera can be installed easily, with no need for an additional adaptor box. Setup is simplified with quick focus/zoom adjustment and flexible two-axis adjustment of the camera’s field of view.

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

Support for ONVIF Profile-S simplifies integration with a wide range of video management solutions, providing video streaming and camera control. 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.

The camera can operate reliably over a wide -30 to +50°C temperature range. Ideal for outdoor use it is IP66 rated, water proof and dust tight.
