Powerful Vari-focal Zoom Lens/Wide Viewing Angle
These cameras come equipped with a powerful vari-
focal zoom lens. The SNC-DM110 incorporates a 3.4x
zoom lens. In addition, the camera has an extremely
wide viewing angle of over 100 degrees.
Quick Focus Adjustment
The iris on the camera can be fully opened at the
touch of a button for quick focus settings. In addition,
a focus bar is displayed on the monitor, enabling ac-
curate and easy adjustments.
Ball-Joint Lens Mount Technology
With the Sony patented Ball-Joint Lens Mount mech-
anism incorporated into the vari-focal lens of the
camera, the lens can be rotated freely in any direc-
tion. Unlike conventional camera, it takes only one
action to adjust the pan and tilt angles, allowing for
quick and easy adjustment of the camera's viewing
angle.
Selectable JPEG and MPEG-4 Compression
Formats
The camera supports two compression formats: JPEG
and MPEG-4. The industry-standard JPEG compression
format is the best choice for high-quality still images.
And the MPEG-4 format provides clear moving images
efficiently over networks when bandwidth is limited.
Dual-encoding Capability
With a dual-encoding capability, the camera can gen-
erate both JPEG and MPEG-4 images simultaneously
at 25 fps when the image size is set to VGA*. This
capability is useful for transferring MPEG-4 images
over a WAN or an Internet VPN where network band-
width is limited, while also storing high-resolution
JPEG images on a LAN-based server.
Benefits
Bi-directional Audio
Users can connect an external microphone or an audio
amp to the camera using the mic/line input
(switchable). In addition, the camera is also equipped
with an active speaker output, enabling users to
sound an alert or make an announcement from the
camera unit via a remote location. This significantly
expands the possibilities of monitoring applications.
Voice Alert
The Voice Alert function allows users to upload up to
three pre-recorded audio files to the camera. These
can then be played out via a locally connected speak-
er upon an alarm trigger.
The DEPA Platform - Intelligent Video Analytics
The SNC-DM110 offers intelligent video analytics,
based on the Sony DEPA platform. DEPA is a
www.pro.sony.eu/videosecurity
combined function of the intelligence built in to the
camera and rules/filters that determine which images
should be recorded or when an alarm should be
triggered. Using the network camera Intelligent Mo-
tion Detection (IMD) function, 'tagged' objects and
their associated metadata, including object position,
are sent either to the NSR Series recorder or the IMZ-
RS400 Series software. These products then use the
metadata, together with filters, to analyze object
movement and to perform a predefined action, such
as image recording or alarm triggering. This method
of distributed processing minimizes server workload,
network bandwidth, and storage requirements.
Intelligent Motion Detection
The built-in IMD function can trigger a variety of ac-
tions, such as the storage and transfer of images or
the activation of an external device through its output
relays. False alarms caused by noise and repeated
motion patterns are minimized thanks to an advanced
Sony algorithm. Plus, when used in conjunction with
DEPA-enabled recorders or software, a multitude of
filter functions are available. These allow you to initi-
ate alarms based on more specific movements, such
as passing a virtual borderline.
Sensor IN/Alarm OUT Ports
Equipped with a sensor input, the camera can receive
triggers from an external sensor. Also, two alarm re-
lay outputs can be used to trigger external devices to
perform a variety of actions.
IEEE802.1X Compliant
The camera supports IEEE802.1X port-based network
access control. This means it can be integrated to a
network environment that uses the IEEE802.1X client-
authorization protocol for security purposes.
SolidPTZ/Cropping Functions
To minimize data size when network bandwidth is lim-
ited, SolidPTZ and Cropping are useful features. The
SolidPTZ function allows users to select a specified
area within the camera's field of view at a lower resol-
ution such as VGA. By doing so, users can electronic-
ally pan, tilt, and zoom within the image. In addition,
the Solid PTZ function can be used in conjunction with
motion detection, allowing users to monitor only
areas where there is movement and to automatically
track moving objects within the camera's field of
view. The cropping function allows users to freely crop
portions of the full-resolution megapixel image to ac-
centuate a monitoring area or to remove areas that
do not need to be monitored.
Date/Time Superimposition
The date and time of images recorded by the camera
can be superimposed on the video while it is being
monitored and recorded. This makes it easy to identi-
fy the exact date and time of an event during play-
back. Also, because the information becomes part of
the video image, it is a useful feature when providing
video evidence to authorities. In addition, up to 20
characters on a single line can be used to display
