The DEPA Platform –
Intelligent Video Analytics
The SNC-DF85, SNC-DF80,and SNC-DF50 cameras
offer intelligent video analytics,based on the Sony
DEPA™ platform. This comprises two elements:
intelligent built-in camera functions, such as
Intelligent Motion Detection (IMD) and Intelligent
Object Detection (IOD),and rules/filters that
determine what type of event should be
recorded.
When the network cameras perform IMD or IOD,
‘tagged’objects and their associated metadata,
including object position data,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.
High-quality Images
Wide Dynamic Range With
DynaView Technology SNC-DF85
The SNC-DF85 and SNC-DF50 incorporate
DynaView technology,which dramatically improves
camera dynamic range by 128 times when
compared to conventional cameras. This results
in clear image reproduction, even in extreme
high-contrast environments. The cameras capture
the same image twice – first with a normal shutter
speed, and then with a high shutter speed. The
dark areas captured at normal shutter speed and
the bright areas captured at high shutter speed
are then combined into one image using an
advanced DSP LSI. Additionally, as these
high-contrast scenes may have different lighting
conditions, two white balance circuits are
employed – one for normal shutter speed and the
other for high shutter speed. This advanced
technique reproduces high-contrast images with
proper color.
SuperExwave Technology SNC-DF80
The SNC-DF80 incorporates an advanced
1/3-type CCD with SuperExwave technology that
achieves extremely high sensitivity levels. The
camera provides a minimum illumination of 0.6 lx
in color and 0.06 lx in B/W at F1.3, allowing it to
capture clear and detailed images even under
low light conditions.
The high-quality CCD imager, in combination with
the camera’s state-of-the-art DSP technology,
produces a high horizontal resolution of 540 TV
lines via the analog composite video output,
which provides amazingly clear and detailed
images.

Flexible and Easy Installation
Wall- or Ceiling-mountable/Easy
Viewing-angle Adjustment
The SNC-DF85, SNC-DF80, and SNC-DF50 can be
easily wall- or ceiling-mounted.*4 Furthermore,
because they are equipped with an analog
composite output (RCA jack), the camera image
can be monitored locally while the viewing angle
is adjusted during installation. This makes focus
and viewing-angle adjustment both accurate
and easy.
*4 Supplied bracket is required when the SNC-DF85 and SNC-DF80 are
wall- or ceiling-mounted.
Powerful 3.6x Zoom,Vari-focal Lens
These cameras come equipped with a 3.6x zoom,
vari-focal lens that covers an extremely wide
range of viewing angles from 100.8° (wide-angle)
to 27.7° (telephoto). This feature provides great
installation flexibility for a number of different
applications and locations.
Day/Night Function SNC-DF85 SNC-DF80
The SNC-DF85 and SNC-DF80 cameras can switch
from day mode (color) to night mode (B/W) by
replacing its infrared-cut filter with a clear filter.
Users can toggle between the two modes in
different ways, either manually, on a predefined
schedule, using an external sensor, or automatically
in response to the scene illumination. When the
camera is in night mode, it is sensitive to near-IR
illuminators, allowing it to operate even in zero lx*3
conditions.
*3 Zero lx means the absence of visible light to the naked eye.
IR illuminators are required to operate at zero lx.
Dynamic Frame Integration
These cameras incorporate Dynamic Frame
Integration (DFI) technology to reproduce clear
images that contain both still and moving objects.
DFI technology detects movement within the
image and reproduces those areas with minimal
blurring, while areas with little or no movement are
displayed naturally with minimal jagged edges.
This unique algorithm also takes advantage of the
interlaced-scan CCD, which is inherently more
sensitive than progressive-scan CCDs and can
provide clear images even in low light conditions.
JPEG Picture Quality Settings With
Constant Bitrate Algorithm
Users can preset the JPEG picture quality for these
cameras from a choice of ten levels. In addition,
because these cameras incorporate a constant
bitrate algorithm,they can limit the data bitrate
while still maintaining high-quality images. This is
useful for calculating the required storage
capacity and bandwidth during installation.

Ball-Joint Lens Mount Technology
With the Sony patented Ball-Joint Lens Mount
mechanism incorporated into the vari-focal lens
of these cameras, the lens can be rotated freely in
any direction. Unlike conventional cameras, it
takes only one action to adjust the pan and tilt
angles, allowing for quick and easy adjustment of
the camera’s viewing angle during installation.
Ruggedized Design SNC-DF85 SNC-DF80
The vandal-resistant SNC-DF85 and SNC-DF80
cameras are housed in a heavy-duty, aluminum
die-cast enclosure with an impact-resistant
polycarbonate dome. It complies with the IP66*5
standard, and offers additional water resistance
by using a special inner conduit for the camera
cables. For cold-weather outdoor applications,
the optional YT-HU75 Heater Unit is available.
This allows the camera to be used in severe
temperatures as low as -40 °F (-40 °C).
*5 Ingress Protection (IP) standard is a system for numerically classifying
the degree of protection provided by enclosures of electrical
equipment against solid objects and liquids. IP66 means there is no
ingress of dust and the equipment is protected against powerful water
jets.

Dual Image Encoding
Operational Flexibility
Selectable JPEG, MPEG-4, H.264
Compression Formats
These multi-codec cameras support three
compression formats: JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264.
The industry-standard JPEG compression format is
the best choice for high-quality still images.
MPEG-4 provides clear moving images efficiently
over networks when bandwidth is limited. And
H.264 provides twice the efficiency of MPEG-4, for
when bandwidth is even more limited.
Dual-encoding Capability
With a dual-encoding capability, these cameras
can stream both JPEG and MPEG-4 simultaneously.
For example, the system can be set up to transfer
MPEG-4 images over a WAN or an Internet VPN
where network bandwidth is limited, while storing
high-resolution JPEG images on a server that’s
configured on your LAN.
Bi-directional Audio
Users can connect an external microphone to
these cameras in order to pick up audio from a
preferred location. They are 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 these cameras.
These can then be played out via a locally
connected speaker upon an alarm trigger.

High Level of Security
Intelligent Motion Detection (IMD)
The built-in IMD functions of these cameras can
trigger a variety of actions, 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 initiate alarms based on more
specific movements,such as passing a virtual
borderline or appearing into a virtual area.
Intelligent Object Detection (IOD)*6
The SNC-DF85, SNC-DF80, and SNC-DF50 cameras
can detect objects that have been abandoned
or become stationary for a specified duration
within up to four designated detection areas. This
feature is useful for detecting suspicious objects
left in public places, or for detecting stalled cars
or accidents on the road. As with IMD, filters can
be used to refine this intelligence if the camera is
configured with DEPA-enabled products.
*6 The intelligent object detection function and the intelligent motion
detection function cannot be used simultaneously.
Sensor IN/Alarm OUT Ports
Equipped with a sensor input, these cameras can
receive triggers from an external sensor. Also,two
alarm relay outputs can be used to trigger
external devices to perform a variety of actions.
Pre-/Post-alarm Image Storage
These cameras are capable of storing both pre-
and post-alarm images on 16 MB of built-in
memory or on removable storage media.*7
*7 Storage on removable media is available with the
SNC-DF85 and SNC-DF80.
Network Security Features
IEEE802.1X Compliant
The SNC-DF85, SNC-DF80, and SNC-DF50 support

video signal via the BNC connector. This feature is
ideal for outputting images to a local recording
device or monitor.
Other Convenient Features
Date/Time Superimposition
The date and time of images recorded by these
cameras can be superimposed on the video while it is
being monitored and recorded. This feature is ideal for
easily identifying the exact date and time of an event
during playback. Also because the information
becomes part of the video image, it is a useful feature
when providing video evidence to authorities.
