Sony Launches Two Outdoor Infrared Bullet Cameras
IPELA ENGINE EX IP Cameras Incorporate Sony’s
View-DR with Advanced Infrared Technology to Produce High-Quality Video in
Extreme Light or Dark Conditions
Sony Electronics is expanding its widely used E Series of
IPELA ENGINE EX IP
cameras with two new infrared (IR) bullet cameras. The SNC-EB632R and SNC-EB602R
both feature Sony’s Exmor CMOS sensors, which provide exceptional light
sensitivity. They also combine Sony’s wide dynamic View-DR technology and
built-in IR illuminators. This helps identify close and distant objects and
generates excellent color video in brightly lit environments. Clear black and
white video is produced even in darkness as low as 0 lux.
“Many security installations require IP cameras to function in lighting
extremes, from full daylight to full darkness,” said Kenichi Mori, director of
marketing and product management for Sony Electronics’ Security Systems
Division. “The SNC-EB632R and SNC-EB602R are true day/night cameras that can
automatically adjust to the level of light in order to produce excellent video
in almost any kind of lighting environment.”
 The
SNC-EB632R, a 1080p camera, can produce color video with a minimum illumination
of 0.1 lux at 50 IRE. The SNC-EB602R is a 720p camera which can produce color
video with a minimum illumination of 0.05 lux at 50 IRE. At 50 IRE, the
SNC-EB602R supports IR illumination up to25 meters (82 feet), while the
SNC-EB632R supports IR illumination up to 30 meters (98 feet). They are also
designed for outdoor use, use image stabilization technology to minimize the
effects of camera shake, and are IP66 rated to be water-proof and dust-tight. In
addition, both IP cameras feature Sony’s IPELA ENGINE EX signal processing
system, including:
| • |
View-DR technology that enables wide dynamic
range capabilities up to 130dB in HD |
| • |
XDNR noise reduction technology that generates
clearer images in low light |
| • |
DEPA Advanced technology that incorporates video
analytic capabilities at the camera level |
•
|
High Frame Rate of 30 frames per second to
capture smoother, more detailed video that is easier to analyze
frame by frame |
The SNC-EB632R and SNC-EB602R are expected to be available in the third
quarter of 2014. They will be supported by major VMS providers, including
Aimetis Corp., DVTEL, INC., Envysion, Exacq Technologies, Genetec Inc.,
Milestone Systems, OnSSI, Salient Systems and Video Insight Inc.
