✜ Dual-encoding Capability
With a dual-encoding capability, these cameras can
generate both JPEG and MPEG-4 images
simultaneously at 30 fps when the image size is set to
VGA*
3 . This capability is useful for transferring MPEG-4
images over a WAN or an Internet VPN where network
bandwidth is limited, while also storing high-resolution
JPEG images on a LAN-based server.
*3 The frame rate varies depending on the file size.

✜ Day/Night Function
The SNC-DM160 and SNC-DS60 cameras can switch from
day mode (color) to night mode (B/W) by replacing their
infrared-cut filter with a clear filter. Based on user presets,
the camera can toggle between day mode and night
mode using an external sensor or automatically in
response to surrounding light conditions. The camera
can simultaneously switch to night mode and provide a
trigger for near-IR illuminators via its external control port,
allowing it to operate even in zero lx*
4 conditions.
* 4 Zero lx means the absence of visible light to the naked eye. Near-IR
illuminators are required to operate at zero lx.
✜ Bi-directional Audio
Users can connect an external microphone or an
audio amp to these cameras using the mic/line input
(switchable). In addition, the cameras are also
equipped with an active speaker output, enabling
users to sound an alert or make an announcement
from the camera unit via a remote location.
This significantly expands the possibilities of monitoring
applications.
✜ Voice Alert
The Voice Alert function allows users to upload up to
three pre-recorded audio files to the camera. These
can then be played out via a locally connected
speaker upon an alarm trigger.

✜ The DEPA Platform – Intelligent Video Analytics
The SNC-DM Series and SNC-DS Series cameras offer
intelligent video analytics, based on the Sony DEPA
platform. DEPA is a combined function of the
intelligence built in to the camera and rules/filters that
determine which images should be recorded or when
an alarm should be triggered. Using the network
camera Intelligent Motion Detection (IMD) function,
‘tagged’ objects and their associated metadata,
including object position, are sent either to the NSR
Series recorder or the IMZ-RS400 Series software. These
products then use the metadata, together with filters,
to analyze object movement and to perform a
predefined action, such as image recording or alarm
triggering. This method of distributed processing
minimizes server workload, network bandwidth, and
storage requirements.
✜ Intelligent Motion Detection
The built-in IMD function can trigger a variety of
actions, such as the storage and transfer of images or
the activation of an external device through its output
relays. False alarms caused by noise and repeated
motion patterns are minimized thanks to an advanced
Sony algorithm. Plus, when used in conjunction with
DEPA-enabled recorders or software, a multitude of
filter functions are available. These allow you to initiate
alarms based on more specific movements, such as
passing a virtual borderline.
