Sony announced the latest edition to its outdoor camera range with the launch of the SNC-VB632D Full HD infrared bullet camera. The SNC-VB632D employs the newly adopted Dual Light system with infrared (IR) illuminator and white LED, working as an effective deterrent and allowing for clear visibility under dark conditions in either black and white or colour.
The SNC-VB632D supports high-performance illumination during the night-time through the IR illumin1ator, up to a wide range of 30 metres in black and white, with a minimum illumination of 0 lux (0.1 lux for colour) at 50 IRE. When an object approaches, the integrated video motion detection activates the white LED automatically, enabling colour mode, illuminating objects up to 5 metres away for clear identification in full colour.
“With the Dual Light system, the SNC-VB632D is the ideal all-in-one camera for transportation and city surveillance in complex environments,” said Mr. Riki Nishimura, General Manager of Visual Security Solutions Division, Professional Solutions Company (PSAP) at Sony Electronics Asia Pacific. “The white LED is a visual deterrent contributing to crime prevention around where there is less traffic at night, while the clear visibility in black and white or colour, aids identification and post-incident analysis. It can also reduce the total cost of ownership by providing sensor light within the camera.”
The IP camera also features IPELA ENGINE EX, which combines Sony's unique signal processing and video analytics technologies resulting in features such as:
View-DR technology, enabling a wide dynamic range under high-contrast/backlight conditions up to 90dB in Full HD
• Enhanced DEPA Advanced, providing state of the art video image analytics such as face detection
• High frame rate of 60fps for a smoother and less blurry viewing experience
• Image stabilisation to reduce the effects of vibrations on the camera, delivering steady, clear images
Sony's SNC-VB632D video security camera will be available in Asia Pacific towards the end of 2014.
