Because of its high-compression ratios, users can monitor high-quality moving images without delay even at low bandwidths.High frame rateThe SNC-P5 produces images with a maximum frame rate of 30 fps at 320 x 240 QVGA size in both MPEG-4 and JPEG modes, allowing clear and smooth images to be viewed. The frame rate can be fixed or set to a variable rate that automatically adjusts to the available bandwidth.Benefits Bi-directional audio monitoringIncorporating a built-in microphone and an external microphone input, the SNC-P5 allows users to monitor audio in addition to video images. Using an external microphone, the SNC-P5 is capable of picking up sound from a distance.Adaptive rate controlTo implement the Quality of Service (QoS) technology on the network, the SNC-P5 provides adaptive rate control function which automatically varies the bit rate of audio and video data corresponding to changing network conditions and selects the most appropriate frame rates. This function helps prevent audio and video breakup.Multi casting capabilityThe SNC-P5 has a Multicasting capability that enables efficient video and audio streaming to a large number of users without overloading the network.Alarm functionThe SNC-P5 is equipped with a built-in motion detection function that can generate an alarm through an alarm-output port or trigger various actions. Unlike conventional activity detection, the SNC-P5 uses vector information to detect motion, achieving robustness against noise components.

Sony SNC-EP521 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.

Sony Professional announced new additions to its X series security camera range, further enhancing its powerful line-up of solutions. At Security Essen 2010 Sony Professional showcased five new models from its X series of cameras, as well as its new Plug and Play NSR-S20 recording solution for X series cameras.The latest additions to the X series camera range are compact in size but boast excellent full HD and HD picture quality by incorporating Sony's Advanced Distributed Enhanced Processing Architecture (DEPA). New models include a fixed camera, the SNC-CH110; two mini dome cameras, the SNC-DH110 and SNC-DH210; and two impact-resistant mini dome cameras, the SNC-DH110T and SNC-DH210T.X series cameras are some of the world's smallest HD cameras, allowing them to be fitted into the smallest of spaces for discrete use. The cameras' ultra compact size and a compelling price point are attained with no compromise on the power or performance available. Moreover, the cameras are extremely energy-efficient; consuming an estimated 75% less energy than a conventional 11.2w full HD fixed box camera. An innovative design for quick installation, variety of colours including silver, black or white, and full HD quality means that the new cameras are particularly suited to use in retail applications. The innovative Stream Squared function of the X series in particular allows simultaneous streaming of two 4:3 aspect ratio videos in user-selectable SD resolutions. An entire image or a part of an image can be selected from the original view and resized to SD resolution. This means it can stream a wide-angle view and a close-up shot at the same time. It is perfect for keeping a close eye on high-risk spots while keeping the wider picture in sight simultaneously. With this feature, the 720p X series cameras can replace two SD cameras installed in the same line of view - saving on costs. Bruno Winnen, Head of Video Security, Sony Professional commented: "HD remains a key focus for Sony and Security Essen 2010 is the ideal platform to demonstrate Sony's understanding of the security market and the needs of our customers. The latest line up of cameras creates easy migration to IP and the Plug and Play NSR offers a versatile and reliable recording solution. The full HD family of cameras across the X series combine cost-effective, entry level cameras with fixed and mini dome versions to create a truly innovative portfolio."   See images with captions
