Sony SNC-VM642R 2 Megapixel Network Outdoor Dome camera, 3-9mm Lens

This minidome network camera delivers Full HD quality images around the clock – indoors or outside. The vandal- and weather-resistant SNC-VM642R is ideal for a wide range of demanding security, surveillance and monitoring applications, from banks, factories, shopping malls and offices to airports, car parks and transportation systems.

The camera captures crisp, low-noise Full HD images, even in challenging low-light conditions. The sensitive 1/2.8" type Exmor R CMOS image sensor is teamed with XDNR processing, improving low-light performance and achieving the minimum illumination of 0.006 lux (30 IRE) in color mode. Video can be captured at a high maximum frame rate of 60fps – allowing smoother, more accurate viewing of moving objects such as people or vehicles.

View-DR expands dynamic range for significantly improved imaging in high-contrast and strongly backlit scenes, like sun-drenched offices or car park entrances. Image stabilization keeps video images crisp and clear, even when the camera is subject to vibration on a mounting pole or bracket.

The camera can see in conditions of complete darkness, with built-in IR (infrared) illumination that’s coupled with Advanced IR technology to capture near and far-away objects without overexposure. The SNC-VM642R can clearly capture objects in total darkness at distances up to 100m (30 IRE) from the camera.

The addition of SD card edge storage allows video/audio data to be recorded directly by the camera when triggered by an alarm event. This provides valuable redundancy in the event of temporary network failure: recording to the network server resumes automatically when normal network connection is restored.

See every scene clearly with Full HD image quality

View fine detail in a wide range of everyday video security and surveillance environments, from retail spaces to banks and schools. The sensitive 1/2.8" type Exmor R CMOS image sensor is teamed with XDNR processing, improving low-light performance and achieving the minimum illumination of 0.006 lux (30 IRE) in color mode

Capture smooth, fluid movement at 60fps

Video images can be captured at a high frame rate of 60fps, allowing precise analysis when stepping through recorded footage frame by frame. It’s ideal for applications like city surveillance where it’s essential to see what’s happening with split-second accuracy.

Steadier, more stable video footage

The in-built image stabilizer minimizes the effects of camera shake – for example when the camera’s pole mounted or subject to mechanical vibration. With clearer, more stable video images it’s easier to see what’s happening in any scene.

Don’t miss that crucial moment with Intelligent Motion Detection and Face Detection

In-built motion detection can trigger a range of actions, from storage and transfer of images to sounding of external alarms. False alarms caused by noise, weather and environment noise are minimized by a smart processing algorithm. Human face detection is also supported, allowing rapid indexing of recordings to find events where a face is visible in the scene.

Clear pictures in total darkness with Advanced IR

Built-in IR illuminators assist with clearly capturing objects in total darkness at distances up to 100m (30 IRE) from the camera. View-DR technology ensures that clear black-and-white images can be seen both near and far from the camera without overexposure.

Better pictures, day or night

True D/N (Day/Night) function automatically switches the camera to Day or Night mode, depending on ambient light levels.

Optimum picture quality in any situation

A choice of selectable picture modes optimizes camera settings for best picture quality in a wide range of applications and lighting environments.

Recording quality to suit your network

Select CBR (constant bitrate), VBR (variable bitrate) or VBR-with-cap compression modes for optimized recording quality depending on IP network conditions.

Edge recording on SD card for reliable operation

SD card edge storage allows video/audio data to be recorded directly by the camera when triggered by an alarm event. This provides valuable redundancy in the event of temporary network failure: recording to the network server resumes automatically when normal network connection is restored.

Detect in confidence with Edge-based Analytics

Powerful DEPA Advanced video analytics enhances Intelligent Motion Detection with rule-based alarm triggers, providing alerts with object filters like ‘passing’ and ‘intrusion’ to further reduce false alarms.

Reduce cabling costs with Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the camera be powered by the same Ethernet cable that’s used for data transfer, reducing installation complexity and costs.

View and control with your smartphone

Remotely view live camera images with your Android or iOS smartphone or tablet. You don’t even need to download a special app.

ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) compliance

Support for ONVIF simplifies interoperability with other network video devices. The ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) defines a common protocol for the exchange of information between network video devices, including automatic device discovery and video streaming.

Quick, easy installation

Quick, easy adjustment of focus and zoom settings simplifies installation while reducing maintenance time. Configuration of network settings is made simple with the supplied SNC Easy IP Setup Guide application.

Dependable all-weather operation

The camera can operate reliably over a wide temperature range. Ideal for outdoor use, it is IP66 rated, water-proof and dust-tight.
