New Rapid Dome Cameras from Sony − High Visibility,
Feature Rich, and a Choice of Models
Sony is pleased to introduce its new rapid dome cameras, the SNC-RS Series, which support H.264, MPEG-4,
and JPEG compression formats. With a powerful streaming capability of 30 fps in D1 resolution, combined
with newly developed image-enhancement technologies, the SNC-RS Series dramatically enhances
usability in a wide variety of lighting environments and applications. Plus, a total 210° tilt range and 360°
endless high-speed pan capability allows users to view images above the horizon. This feature provides
great installation flexibility for a number of different applications and locations. With a host of new features
and excellent performance, the SNC-RS Series is the perfect choice, for your security surveillance needs.

Clear and Bright HD Images
Visibility Enhancer
The SNC-RS Series includes Visibility Enhancer technology.
This tone-correction technology optimizes the visibility of a
scene by increasing brightness in darker areas of the
scene and compressing the brighter areas. The result is
sharper, clearer images and a higher level of visibility − all
of which are critical for security surveillance.
XDNR (eXcellent Dynamic Noise Reduction)
Incorporating newly developed XDNR technology, these
cameras can provide clear images while at the same
time minimizing motion blur under low illumination. What’s
more, when both XDNR and Visibility Enhancer are turned
on, the cameras can achieve up to four times the sensitivity
compared to when they are off.
This technology is ideal for any outdoor surveillance
monitoring, such as a car parked at night.
Wide-D Technology
The SNS-RS Series incorporates Wide-D technology, which
offers a wide dynamic range to handle various lighting
conditions in a scene. Even in a scene with extremely
bright and dark areas, or in backlight conditions, the
SNC-RS Series provides clear visibility of all objects.
Powerful and Versatile Zoom Capability
The SNC-RS46/RS86 incorporates a powerful 36x optical
zoom lens, while the SNC-RS44/RS84 incorporates a 18x
optical zoom lens. Both also feature a 12x digital zoom
capability, providing a total zoom ratio of 432x for the
SNC-RS46/RS86 and 216x for the SNC-RS44/RS84.
Intelligence
DEPA Advanced − Intelligent Video and Audio Analytics
Incorporating DEPA™ Advanced technology, the SNC-RS
Series offers intelligent video and audio analytics. With this
feature, the camera can trigger an alarm based on rules.
This allows users to further refine the criteria for triggering an
alarm, making the overall system more efficient.
•Intelligent Motion Detection
With this feature,the cameras can detect irregular motion
and trigger an alarm based on up to three user-defined rules,
such as intrusion across a virtual border line or a beam
intrusion detector*1.
•Tamper Alarm
When an attempt is made to tamper with the camera, such
as spray-painting the lens, the SNC-RS Series detects this and
triggers an alarm. This event can be used to activate the
camera relays,or even to start the Voice Alert function.
•Advanced Audio Detection*2
Unlike conventional audio detection where an alarm is
triggered based on a preset audio level,the SNC-RS Series
triggers its alarms based on ambient sound conditions as the
threshold. The camera stores and updates ambient audio
levels and frequencies, and when the threshold level based
on this data is surpassed,an alarm is triggered.
Audio Functions
Voice Alert
The camera can store up to three pre-recorded audio files.
Upon initiation, either manually or via an alarm, the
camera can play out one of the three pre-recorded audio
files via a locally connected active speaker.
Ambient Sound Filter
The SNC-RS Series is capable of learning ambient sound
and suppressing extraneous noise.
Dynamic Range Compressor*2
To prevent audio clipping from occurring due to high
audio levels, these cameras employ the dynamic range
compressor, which dynamically controls the gain to
maintain incoming audio at a proper level.
Echo Cancellation
The SNC-RS Series has an echo-cancellation capability.
This feature cancels the echo that would otherwise occur
between the operator site and the camera site, when loud
speakers and microphones are used in the system.
System Flexibility
Three Codecs − H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG Support
The SNC-RS Series supports three compression formats:
H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG. 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. H.264 provides
twice the efficiency of MPEG-4, for when bandwidth is
even more limited.
Dual-encoding Capability
With its dual-encoding capability, the SNC-RS Series can
stream any two formats from H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG.
simultaneously. This flexibility allows you to maximize your
network and storage resources.

ONVIF Conformance
(Open Network Video Interface Forum)
In line with Sony’s commitment to open standards, the
SNC-RS Series conforms to ONVIF software specifications.
ONVIF™ defines a common protocol for the exchange of
information between different network video devices
regardless of manufacturer, and realizes greater
interoperability in multi-vendor network video systems.
Support for IPv6
The SNC-RS Series supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6).
Advanced Rapid Dome Mechanis
Above-the-Horizon Tilt − 15° Tilt-up
The SNC-RS Series has a total tilt range of 210°. Thanks to
this additional 15° tilt range compared to the normal
horizon-only view, the SNC-RS Series is able to monitor
elevated areas − which greatly expands its viewing range.
High-speed 360° Endless Panning
The SNC-RS Series has a high-speed 360° endless panning
(or rotation) capability, as fast as 400° per second. This
allows users to quickly and precisely capture almost any
object within the field of view surrounding the camera.

hPoE Support*3(Compliant With IEEE802.3)
Supporting high Power over Ethernet (hPoE), the
SNC-RS44/RS46 can be powered using the same Ethernet
cable it uses for data transfer.This feature greatly reduces
the physical infrastructure costs and speed of deployment.
Flexible and Easy Installation
Quick-release Mechanism
The camera can be installed or detached quickly and
easily thanks to its newly developed base, which greatly
reduces installation and servicing time.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Local Storage / Wireless Capability
The SNC-RS Series has a CompactFlash®slot. This can be
used either with a CompactFlash memory card for local
video storage, or for wireless capability. The SNCA-CFW5
(802.11b/g) CompactFlash type wireless LAN card is
supported.
Designed for Heavy-duty Outdoor
Monitoring (SNC-RS84/RS86)
IP66 Rating
The SNC-RS84/RS86 complies with the IP66 standard for
protection against water and dust.
Hard Coated Dome Cover
The camera is protected by an impact-resistant
polycarbonate dome cover.
Integrated Sunshade and Ventilation Mechanism
For outdoor applications, the camera comes standard
with a sunshield and special ventilation mechanism.
