Sony to launch its 3rd generation multi-codec network cameras soon
Sony prepares to launch its 3rd generation multi-codec network cameras by December. The SNC-RX530N and SNC-RX570N are designed to address specific end-user requirements in an array of security applications, such as increased sensitivity and wider dynamic range.

These new models use Intelligent Motion Detection and Intelligent Object Detection to maximize the efficiency of a monitoring system.

The SNC-RX570 model features a 36x optical zoom lens, allowing for a zoom capability of up to 432x when used with its 12x digital zoom. The SNC-RX530 camera has an 18x optical zoom lens.
These cameras support Sony's own wireless cards, including the newly introduced SNCA-CFW5 Compact Flash card, which can offer 802.11g wireless capability for users of SNC-RX series, SNC-CS50N, and SNC-RZ50N cameras.
In night mode, the cameras are sensitive to near-IR illuminators, allowing them to operate even in zero lux, or extreme low-light, conditions.
