In the September issue of GIT SECURITY, we spoke with ­Michael Hirsch, Vice President for Sony Video Security at Bosch, about the partnership of Bosch and Sony to develop innovative video surveillance products and solutions for security ­applications. Now it is time to take a closer look at the Sony product portfolio.

Full-HD at its Best
During 2017, Sony enhanced its video security line-up with eight new Full HD sixth generation (G6-R) video security cameras. These camera models deliver on the ever increasing demand for greater image clarity within the video security market, providing cutting-edge image capture technology with minimum illumination of 0.006 lux.
The upgraded G6 cameras include high performance image sensors, lenses and image processors. Using advanced imaging technology, Sony’s cameras offer security professionals clear detail and higher visibility with excellent low-light sensitivity, ideal for a wide range of demanding applications, including city, transport and commercial surveillance. They can capture images beyond the reach of conventional security cameras, helping to provide security professionals with better visibility and in turn greater accuracy.

4K IP Video Solutions
Sony’s latest image capture technology, including state-of-the-art 4K technology, delivers the maximum return on investment in video security and surveillance – in cities, public spaces, airports, roads and railways. The two 4K cameras SNC-VB770 and SNC-VM772R come with a full-frame 35 mm 12MP Exmor CMOS sensor that features top levels of minimum illumination of less than 0.004 lx to capture exceptionally detailed 4K/30 fps color video, even at night and in similar extreme lighting environments. The cameras are equipped with high performance lenses including premium lenses from Zeiss and Sony for the most demanding applications.
With four times the resolution of Full HD, 4K offers users accurate and detailed images for facial recognition and license plate reading, as well as low-light technology for increased situation awareness providing improved efficiency, safety and security. Sony 4K provides clear images in any environment, with increased efficiency and lower operational costs compared with conventional video security solutions.
