Now available from Sony, its SNC-CX600W wireless camera, designed for small businesses. The company is also adding the SNC-CX600 High Definition (HD) security camera to the range for wired, Power over Ethernet (PoE) installations. The two cameras, featuring wide viewing angles and 720p image quality, are said by the firm to be suitable for large public and private enterprises, and for shops, offices and stores. The products offer high-resolution imaging, and built-in recording, in a compact design. Both units come with the company’s original IPELA ENGINE EX integrated signal processing, with a lens that covers a full 120 degrees; or about 50 per cent wider, it is claimed, than other cameras in the same class. The broader coverage helps reduce the number of cameras needed to cover any space, it is claimed. Each camera includes a motion sensor that works in light and dark; white LED illumination that enables colour recording; and speaker and a microphone. As an example, when the motion sensor detects an intruder, the camera can respond by switching on wide-angle LED illumination, playing out an alert and a pre-recorded voice message, while also sending an email notification to the user. Live images of the event and playback of recordings on the optional SD card are available for viewing through Internet Explorer. The CX600W camera is Wi-Fi certified so users can enjoy stable network transmission as well as easy network security settings with the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) standard.
Since these cameras have edge storage, they can store images and audio onto microSD or Micro SDHC cards and capture motion-triggered images without use of an external recorder – another way for users to use less space.
Sony’s new SNC-CX600W camera is already available in Europe and the SNC-CX600 is from December 2013; visit http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/products/video-security.
