Sony announces SNC-VM772R availability in Europe set to deliver 4K imaging capabilities, bandwidth optimisation and intelligent scene capture
Basingstoke – September 16th, 2015 Sony today announces that its highly regarded 4K SNC-VM772R
video security camera will be available to purchase in Europe from
mid-October. Designed to address the security industry’s concerns around
achieving both high resolution and high sensitivity, as well as
increased system costs, the new model combines the enhanced resolution
of 4K with low-light sensitivity, bandwidth optimisation features, and
intelligent scene capture to adopt the best picture quality.
Announced
as part of Sony’s 4K mission, the camera will give security users the
ability to capture content at four times the resolution of Full HD. 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 with a single camera.
The SNC-VM772R camera combines these benefits with enhanced visibility,
reduced total system costs and flexible, easy installation.
"4K
is soon to be a video security standard," said Damien Weissenburger,
Business Head of Corporate & Education Solutions, 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 of Sony’s 4K video security camera covers a larger
area, improves situational awareness and ensures nothing is missed – all
benefits the market has been crying out for. We’ve already received
substantial interest in the SNC-VM772R
across Europe and the product promises to be a real game changer for
the market as customers unlock the true value of 4K imaging."
Fiegl
+ Spielberger, an Austrian electro-technology company which specialises
in bespoke security concepts is the first to provide the SNC-VM772R to
its customers in Europe. The company is already using the model at a
large bakery for surveillance across the site, from production areas
through to the car park. “Innovation like 4K camera technology is
essential when it comes to meeting the growing demands of our customers”
says Bernhard Bachofner, Managing Partner at Fiegl & Spielberger
Solution GmbH. "From our point of view, the biggest advantages of the
new camera are its innovative features. When combined with the higher
resolution, they open up a host of new opportunities in large-scale
surveillance”.
The introduction of the SNC-VM772R to the security
industry extends Sony’s 4K leadership in the broadcast and production
industries, where Sony’s 4K cameras are shooting blockbuster movies,
popular television shows and major sporting events. Sony’s 4K digital
cinema projectors are in movie theaters worldwide and Sony’s 4K TVs
bring content to consumers.
