Features
Rugged Design
The SNC-DF70P is specially designed to be used for outdoor surveillance or indoors for vandal resistant applications. The cameras are housed in a heavy-duty aluminium die-cast enclosure with a durable polycarbonate viewing window. These cameras comply with the IP66 standard for protection against water and dust.
Superior Picture Quality
The SNC-DF70P Series incorporates a 1/4-type Super HADTM CCD that achieves high horizontal resolution of 480 TV lines (analogue video output) and high sensitivity. The CCD imager provides a minimum illumination of 0.9 lx at F1.0, enabling capture of clear images even under low light conditions.
MPEG-4 and JPEG Compression Formats
The SNC-DF70P supports both the MPEG-4 and JPEG compression formats. The high compression ratio of MPEG-4 provides smooth moving images over networks even when bandwidth is limited. If higher quality, still images are preferred, then the industry standard JPEG compression format is selectable from the setup menu. The SNC-DF70P also supports variable bit rates up to 2 Mb/s.
High Frame Rate
The SNC-DF Series produces images at a maximum frame rate of 25fps when the image size is 320 x 240 in both MPEG-4 and JPEG modes, producing clear and smooth moving images.
Audio Monitoring
Incorporating an external microphone input, the SNC-DF70P is capable of picking up sound from the camera site clearly. The unit is also equipped with an audio line output for active speakers. This allows users to communicate with the remote site, expanding the capability of remote monitoring applications.
Day/Night Function
The SNC-DF70P features a 'Day/Night' capability, which provides optimised sensitivity in both day and night shooting applications. As the scene darkens, an infrared filter is automatically replaced with a clear filter and the camera switches to B&W mode, allowing for operation at a minimum illumination of 0.2 lx at F1.0, or 0 lx using an IR Illuminator from 3rd party vendors.
Adaptive Rate Control
In order to control QoS (Quality of Service) levels over a network, the SNC-DF70P employs an adaptive rate control function. This function automatically varies the video bit transfer rate to meet changing network conditions. Adaptive rate control also selects the most appropriate frame rates, preventing audio and video breakup.
Simultaneous Access
Up to 20 users in JPEG mode or 10 users in MPEG-4 mode can simultaneously access the SNC-DF70P and monitor images separately.

Benefits
Ruggedised mini-fixed dome camera for discrete observation
The SNC-DF70P is more discreet than traditional security cameras making it ideal for surveillance sites where video cameras should be less noticeable such as schools, police stations and discotheque entrances. In addition to the discreteness, Sony's original sleek triangular design of the cameras fits smartly into any surveillance site. An optional in-ceiling mounting bracket is available for an even more discrete profile.
Especially suited for hostile environments
The SNC-DF70P is designed to perform under extreme conditions where there may be a risk of unwanted violence or industrial areas thanks to its heavy-duty enclosure endure. Also, anti-theft screws are to prevent any attempts to steal or break the camera.
MPEG-4 video compression reduces transmission bandwidth requirements
The SNC-DF70P allows you to select M-JPEG or MPEG-4 compression format to achieve high-compression allowing smooth moving images to be streamed over a wide range of bandwidths.
Getting the complete picture thanks to bi-directional audio
Equipped with a microphone input, the SNC-DF70P can be configured with a microphone so that audio, including sound from distant objects, can be monitored at the camera site. Users can send an alert or make an announcement to the audio line output, significantly expanding the possibilities for remote monitoring applications.
Excellent performance under low light conditions
Sony ExwaveHAD technology allows the SNC-DF70P to give outstanding performance in monitoring and surveillance applications dealing with very low light conditions.
Single Cable operation for easy installation
The SNC-DF70P offers a choice of three different power supplies. AC 24 V or DC 12 V can be supplied through the standard power terminal while Power-over-Ethernet simplifies installation by reducing the need for additional cables for power.
Monitoring day and night
The SNC-DF70P offers a 'Day/Night' function to provide optimised sensitivity in both day and night environments. As the scene darkens the camera switches to B/W mode, requiring a minimum illumination of less than 0.01 lx.
Built-in CS Mount,Auto Iris Vari-Focal Lens
The SNC-DF70P comes with a built-in CS mount, auto iris vari-focal lens with a focal length of 3.0 to 8.0 mm to cover a broad range of viewing choices and feature a masked dome cover with a clear slit. The versatile lens compensates the focal length difference between visible light and infrared light. The result is clear and crisp images (the subject remains in focus) when going from visible to infrared light and vice versa.
