Sony VM642R Dome Camera

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 colour 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 stabilisation 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.

Installation of the SNC-VM642R is simplified by the same familiar user interface, usability and form factor as previous-generation Sony V Series cameras. The totally sealed minidome unit assures dependable operation in challenging indoor and outdoor environments. It’s capable of operating in extreme temperatures. The camera’s vandal-resistant design meets the IK10 standard (protection against mechanical impact), and is IP66 rated for protection against water and dust.
