Ball-Joint Lens Mount Technology
With the Sony patented Ball-Joint Lens Mount
mechanism incorporated into the vari-focal lens of
these cameras, the lens can be rotated freely in any
direction. Unlike conventional cameras, it takes only
one action to adjust the pan and tilt angles, allowing
for quick and easy adjustment of the camera's
viewing angle during installation.

Ruggedized Design
SNC-DF80
The vandal-resistant SNC-DF80 camera is housed in a
heavy-duty, aluminum die-cast enclosure with an
impact-resistant polycarbonate dome. It complies
with the IP66 *5 standard, and offers additional water
resistance by using a special inner conduit for the
camera cables. For cold-weather outdoor applications,
the optional YT-HU75 Heater Unit is available. This
allows the camera to be used in severe temperatures
as low as -40 °F (-40 °C).
*5
Ingress Protection (IP) standard is a system for numerically
classifying the degree of protection provided by enclosures
of electrical equipment against solid objects and liquids.
IP66 means there is no ingress of dust and
the equipment is protected against powerful water jets.

Selectable JPEG, MPEG-4, H.264
Compression Formats
These multi-codec cameras support three compression
formats: JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264. The industry-
standard JPEG compression format is the best choice
for high-quality still images. MPEG-4 provides clear
moving images efficiently over networks when
bandwidth is limited. And H.264 provides twice the
efficiency of MPEG-4, for when bandwidth is even
more limited.
Dual-encoding Capability
With a dual-encoding capability, these cameras can
generate both MPEG-4 and JPEG images simultaneously.
For example, the system can be set up to transfer
MPEG-4 images over a WAN or an Internet VPN
where network bandwidth is limited, while storing
high-resolution JPEG images on a server that's
configured on your LAN.

Day/Night Function
The SNC-DF80 camera can switch from day mode
(color) to night mode (B/W) by replacing its infrared-
cut filter with a clear filter. Users can toggle between
the two modes in different ways, either manually, on
a predefined schedule, using an external sensor, or
automatically in response to the scene illumination.
When the camera is in night mode, it is sensitive to
near-IR illuminators, allowing it to operate even in
zero lx *6 conditions.
Cables
*6 Zero lx means the absence of visible light to the naked eye.
IR illuminators are required to operate at zero lx.
