DVR Security System Review

Here we have another security camera created by Sony, the SSC-DC80 has a 1/2 inch Exwave HAD image sensor, the Sony security camera has been designed to produce sharp images.  The camera is particularly useful making the background objects within an image show up more prominently, this particular feature proves useful when you need to increase the size of a recorded image.  There is also a privacy zone feature that you can use to ensure the camera does not monitor areas that are classed as private.

A feature known as ‘Turbo AGC’ gives you the ability to boost the cameras gain control up to 28 db, this feature is of most use in situations where you need to record a subject in low level light conditions.  Turbo AGC mode has a number of preset modes that you can select, these include normal, turbo and manual, you can also turn the feature off completely.

The camera has a set up menu and this allows you to set the cameras white balancing, synchronisation and other functions directly from the buttons situated at the side of the camera.  The Sony security camera has a BNC video output you can use to attach it directly to a DVR or other recording devices, the camera also has an S-Video that improves the quality of the feed from the camera.

The Sony security cameras white balancing controls can be controlled automatically or you can set the feature to manual.  The camera uses an NTSC video signal and has a maximum horizontal resolution of 480 TV lines.  The camera has an effective pixel range of 768*494 and its electronic shutter has a range between 1/60th and 1/100,000th of a second

You have the option to give the Sony security camera a specific name, this can be of help if the camera is to be attached to a surveillance system that already consists of many cameras.  When naming the camera you can add up to 24 characters to the name you wish to choose, you also have the option to change the cameras lens if you wish, the camera is compatible with DC servo and video servo type lenses.
