London, May 2015 – Stand E250: Sony will be back
at IFSEC 2015 (Stand E250) on June 16-18 to showcase its latest range of video
security solutions aimed at a wide range of different markets such as
transportation, retail, banking and city
surveillance.
Underlining Sony’s
commitment to performance and quality, Sony will officially launch its new SNC-VM772R 4K video security camera in Europe. The new model
combines the enhanced resolution of 4K with low-light sensitivity leveraging
1.0 type back Illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor, bandwidth optimization
features, and intelligent scene capture capability to maintain the best picture
quality, making the model ideal for city surveillance, transportation, railway,
traffic monitoring and airport surveillance applications.
4K technology gives security users the ability to capture content at four times
the resolution of Full HD (1080p). With the exceptional detail provided by 4K
technology, security professionals can expand their wide area surveillance and
still capture, magnify and examine the smallest parts of a scene such as a face or a car license plate number – all
with a single camera. The SNC-VM772R camera combines
these benefits with enhanced visibility, reduced total system costs and
flexible and easy installation for customers.
Sony has developed
several unique technologies to overcome the challenges of 4K cameras in the
market: improving visibility and light sensitivity while reducing the amount of
bandwidth needed to handle large 4K files. Higher-resolution imaging has
traditionally come at the expense of low-light sensitivity. The new SNC-VM772R uses a 1.0 type
20MP Exmor R sensor and is capable of 0.1 lx sensitivity for clear image capture
in light and dark conditions.
A back-lit structure doubles the camera’s light sensitivity and a built-in
infrared (IR) light source enhances low-light use and night-time shooting for
improved visibility at longer distances. In wide area coverage, various
lighting conditions exist during the day and night. The SNC-VM772R has 90dB wide
dynamic range and 30fps to deliver clear, sharp images for better visibility
and recognition.
Finally, a 20MP 2.9-times motorized zoom lens is matched to the image sensor to
maximize video resolution. The lens features optical image stabilization and
helps capture images with low distortion.
"4K is the new video security standard," said Katsunori Yamanouchi,
Vice President, Sony Professional Solutions Europe. "But 4K imaging is
about more than just increased resolution. It's also expanding the application
potential of security cameras and helping to transform security and
surveillance. The increased resolution covers a larger area, improving
situational awareness and ensuring nothing is missed. These benefits help
security professionals reduce installation and operating costs as fewer cameras
are needed for specific areas."
Sony will be exhibiting the new SNC-VM772R alongside its
latest product range through live technology demonstrations at IFSEC on Stand
E250, at the ExCeL Centre in London.

At IFSEC this year, we showed you how video surveillance and monitoring in 4K delivers more detail and extra intelligence in cities, transport hubs, commercial and industrial environments.
See everything, miss nothing
We displayed our industry-leading 4K and Full HD imaging products and solutions on our stand, and attracted countless visitors to see for themselves just how impactful our new 4K solutions are.
The Austrian construction steel specialist SAKO has been using three SNC-VM772R 4K network security cameras from Sony Professional since 2015. The highly-sensitive 1.0” Exmor-R-CMOS image sensors with background lighting means even the smallest details—such as truck registration plates or the numbers on loading pallets—can be documented clearly and reliably. SAKO is planning to add more Sony Professional 4K cameras in 2016.
At IFSEC 2016, Sony will be showcasing its latest range of IP video solutions to show visitors how video surveillance and monitoring in 4K delivers more detail and extra intelligence in cities, transport hubs, commercial and industrial environments.
