How Sony 4K video security cameras can help city economies florish

How Sony 4K video security cameras can help city economies florish
4K cameras are a powerful tool for protecting city streets, transport systems, leisure, and retail spaces.

Bringing security to every street
The modern city is a focal point for a huge diversity of commercial and cultural activity and public safety is a powerful economic enabler. When the inhabitants of a city feel safer, they’re far more likely to travel, shop, mingle, and contribute to general prosperity.

From streets and subways to car parks and busy shopping areas, citizens are entitled to conduct their daily business with a sense of protection and well-being.

In any public space where personal safety is paramount, 4K video security cameras like the SNC-VM772R can help police and civic authorities create a more reassuring, crime-free environment.

Combining a wide field of view with exceptionally high image resolution and powerful processing capabilities, 4K cameras are a powerful tool for protecting city streets, transport systems, leisure, and retail spaces. Capturing fine details that ordinary video surveillance cameras miss, they’re an enabler for improved law enforcement plus swifter, smarter intervention in the event of accidents or public disorder.

Wider coverage with fewer cameras
The SNC-VM772R features a high-resolution Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor, teamed with a high quality wide-angle lens that captures far greater levels of image detail than a conventional HD camera. This means a single SNC-VM772R can monitor far larger areas than a PTZ camera. In a large city where hundreds or thousands of cameras may be required, this dramatically reduces hardware and installation costs to ensure wide-area security. Capturing fine image detail with four times the resolution of HD, 4K camera footage can also provide compelling evidence in criminal prosecution cases.

Maintaining close interest in busy urban environments
Ordinary PTZ cameras have operational limitations in busy public spaces where thousands of people may be present. Zooming in a single camera to pinpoint a trouble-maker means that the rest of the scene isn’t covered, so other incidents are potentially missed. The SNC-VM772R eliminates this problem, combining a wide-area situational view with up to four cropped views of specific areas of interest. Multi tracking captures cropped multiple close-ups of suspicious individuals while the camera maintains a birds-eye view of the whole scene.

Vandal and weather-resistant, the camera’s rugged design is ideal for harsh outdoor operation around the clock. While other cameras can struggle in poor lighting conditions, the SNC-VM772R combines exceptional sensitivity on-board image stabilisation, a powerful haze-cut function and intelligent scene capture. This assures excellent images in virtually any conditions, from sun-bleached shopping malls to underground car park entrances and busy road junctions at nightfall.
