The Sony SNC-DF85N "ruggedized" network mini-dome camera.

At a time when retail theft is increasing, Sony Australia has launched two new mini-dome surveillance cameras designed to reproduce extremely clear and detailed images tailored for businesses.

The Sony SNC-DF85N and SNC-DF85P network mini-dome cameras are vandal and weather-resistance and use sophisticated camera technology that enables accurate surveillance even in difficult lighting conditions.

Sony Australia product marketing manager for Security Solutions, Tony Lagan said that customers can now take surveillance to "the next level".

"In real terms, this means enhanced security&nb sp;and better safety wherever customers require it," he said.

Tough body
The SNC-DF85 combines dynamic range with an exceptionally tough camera body. It integrates sophisticated 1/3 type CCD with DynaView technology gives the camera a dynamic range that is 128 times wider than conventional cameras. Even in the presence of strong backlight, such as in an entrance lobby, this advanced DynaView technology is able to reduce both whiteout and blackout to enable more accurate monitoring and surveillance.

By simultaneously capturing images with a nor mal and a high shutter speed, the camera can deliver high-contrast images that give security personnel a much clearer view of activity.
