Sony SNC-ER521 Speed Dome IP Security Camera

Sony SNC-ER521 Speed Dome IP Security Camera

This stylishly designed rapid dome camera is ideal for video monitoring of wide areas like shopping malls and airport concourses. The SNC-ER521 captures crisp Standard Definition (PAL) images in a choice of three popular video coding standards to suit your needs and network conditions. The autofocus lens with powerful 36x optical zoom range pulls distant subjects closer for detail-packed close-ups. Combined with digital zoom, maximum magnification ratio is an impressive 432x, helping identify far-away subjects even in the largest airport concourse. Even high-contrast or backlit scenes aren't a problem with DynaView technology that can handle extremes of light and shade for a clearer view. High-speed 360 degree endless rotation helps pinpoint targets faster, while the camera's wide tilt range includes an above-the-horizon capability  ideal for monitoring multi-level environments like shopping precincts and car parks. Images can be optionally recorded onto an on-board memory card for fail-safe data backup. The camera can also be conveniently controlled from a smartphone or tablet, letting you view images remotely and adjust pan, tilt, and zoom. The SNC-ER521 is easy to install, with HPoE (High Power over Ethernet) sharing power and data signals over the same cable to reduce infrastructure costs and labour.

Key Features:

• The camera's high-speed 360-degree endless panning capability is ideal for covering wide areas quickly.
• With a 15° tilt-up and total tilt range of 210°, the SNC-ER521 is ideal for environments such as multi-storey car parks, shopping centres and transport terminals.
• Easily find and track targets with powerful 36x optical zoom. Combined with 12x digital zoom it provides an impressive total zoom ratio of 432x.
• Pick the video compression format that's appropriate for your application needs and network resources. JPEG is the best choice for capturing high-quality still images; MPEG-4 or H.264 provide clear video images over limited-bandwidth networks. Dual streaming allows two video streams to be sent independently  ideal for viewing live video while recording simultaneously onto a server.
• True Day/Night function switches the camera between Day (colour) and Night (B/W) modes, boosting sensitivity to near-IR light to see images in conditions of near-darkness.
• DynaView with Wide-D technology expands video dynamic range, improving visibility of images in scenes with high or poor contrast.
• Sony's DEPA (Distributed Enhanced Processing Architecture) technology also transmits metadata - like object size and position - to a DEPA-enabled recorder. Image processing is performed by the camera, reducing the load on the recorder compared with conventional analytic systems.
• High Power over Ethernet (HPoE - IEEE802.3at) uses the same network cable for camera powering and data transfer, reducing physical infrastructure costs and allowing simpler, more rapid installation.
• The SNC-ER521 conforms to ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) Profile S, the widely-accepted protocol for information exchange between network video devices. This gives extra confidence in the camera's breadth of compatibility with other devices.
