Sony's new sixth-generation security cameras, available now in Europe

These nine models incorporate Sony's Ipela Engine technology and are designed to work in environments of high contrast and intense backlight, with a capture speed of 60 FPS and excellent low-beam response.

Sony has announced the availability throughout Europe of its sixth generation of cameras for video surveillance. These are nine models that incorporate Sony Ipela Engine technology and constitute a new family of security solutions, Designed to respond to high contrast and strong backlight situations, with a capture speed of 60 FPS and excellent low-beam response for the most demanding imaging applications in the mid- and high-end segments of the video surveillance market.

Thanks to new and improved View-DR wide dynamic range compensation technology, all models in the Ipela Engine series offer astonishing levels of detail, even in intense backlit scenes. Sony's XDNR technology, for his part, significantly reduces image noise. These models offer more than twice the sensitivity in low light compared to previous Sony cameras., thanks to the new Exmor CMOS image sensor. The maximum frame rate doubles from 30 to 60 fps on HD and Full HD models, that are ideal for obtaining images with the required clarity, For example, in casinos or traffic control solutions.

The range includes the SNC-VB600 and SNC-VB630 case models; SNC-VM600 and SNC-VM630 minidome cameras; and the reinforced indoor minidome variants SNC-VM601 and SNC-VM631. They incorporate improvements in the main camera functions, Designed for extraordinary images even in security-complex scenarios such as airports, train stations, public buildings, Hospitals and schools. Six of these cameras can operate at 60 Fps, while the other three are versions of 30 FPS for tighter budgets.

The cameras incorporate an advanced analysis system, in addition to intelligent motion detection functions, Tamper detection and facial recognition. DEPA Advanced, Sony's intelligent image analysis solution integrated into the camera, Allows you to combine filters, including virtual barrier, Appearance detection, Abandoned object and missing object, that can be used as local or VMS-based alarm triggers.

Ryan Kawashima, Strategic Marketing Manager for Sony Europe Video Surveillance, emphasizes that “Our sixth generation of video surveillance cameras offers a level of light sensitivity superior to any other competitive product. Light sensitivity is a key aspect of imaging in dark environments, A common situation among our customer base”.
