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 pan, tilt and rotate the imager/lens,
allowing for quick and easy adjustment of the
camera‘s viewing angle during installation.
Ruggedized Design
The vandal-resistant SSC-CD77/CD77P and
SSC-CD75/CD75P cameras are housed in a heavy-
duty, aluminum die-cast enclosure with an impact-
resistant polycarbonate dome. The camera complies
with the IP66*3 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 °C (-40 °F).
*3 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.

Operational Flexibility
Day/Night Function
The SNC-CD77/CD77P camera can switch from day
mode (color) to night mode (B/W) by replacing its
infrared-cut filter with a clear filter. Based on user presets,
the camera can toggle between day mode and night
mode when triggered by an external sensor, or
automatically in response to surrounding light conditions.
The camera can simultaneously switch to night mode
and provide a trigger for near-IR illuminators via its
external control port, allowing it to operate even in zero
lx*4 conditions.
*4 Zero lx means the absence of visible light to the naked eye.
IR illuminators are required to operate at zero lx.
Other Convenient Features
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
Unwanted backlight can often cast a shadow in front
of the subject of an image, making it appear dark to
the camera. The BLC function incorporated in the
SSC-CD77/CD77P/CD75/CD75P/CD45/CD45P
cameras automatically compensates for such
conditions, making the subject more visible.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
These cameras are equipped with an advanced
AGC function. This automatically boosts the camera
gain up to 24 dB, allowing operators monitoring the
image to distinguish the subject more easily in low
light conditions.
Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW)/ATW Pro
ATW is a feature that automatically adjusts the
camera's white balance to adapt to changing light
conditions. With ATW, these cameras can compensate
for a color temperature range of between 2,000 K and
10,000 K, allowing for operation under a variety of
lighting conditions, including common outdoor light
sources such as high pressure sodium vapor lamp.
When operating under natural light, incandescent
lamps, or fluorescent light sources, ATW Pro – which
compensates for a color temperature range of
between 2,500 K and 6,000 K – is ideal for reproducing
color images closer to what we see with our eyes.
AC Line Lock/Internal Line Lock
These cameras feature both an AC line lock and an
internal line lock for synchronization. The AC line lock is
ideal in multi-camera operations, as it synchronizes all
cameras connected to the same power line.
This helps to prevent the video from rolling vertically
when switching between cameras. The vertical
phase can be adjusted by ±90 degrees.
Flexible Power Operation
These cameras offer a choice of two types of power:
24 V AC or 12 V DC. The camera automatically adapts
to whichever power source is used, making installation
fast and effective.
