Sony SSC-DC174 Color Video
Camera - the Practical and 
Cost-Effective Surveillance
Solution
Sony introduces a new addition to its line of
surveillance video cameras – the SSC-DC174. This
camera incorporates a 1/3-type IT Super HAD™ CCD
and Sony Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology to
achieve high picture quality and remarkable sensitivity
with a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of more than 50 dB.
Providing various convenient features such as Turbo
AGC, Auto Tracing White (ATW) Balance, Back-Light
Compensation and more, the SSC-DC174 offers an
ideal solution for a wide range of surveillance
applications in locations ranging from banks and retail
stores to warehouses – at an affordable price.
High Picture Quality
The SSC-DC174 camera incorporates a 1/3-type
IT Super HAD™ CCD that achieves a horizontal
resolution of 330 TV lines and a minimum
illumination of 0.6 lx at F1.2 (50 IRE).
DSP Technology
The camera incorporates Sony DSP technology
for powerful picture contrast control.  Providing
outstanding stability over long periods of time
and reliability levels unattainable with analog
signal processors, the SSC-DC174 camera
captures superb images under various lighting
conditions.
Compact and Stylish Design
With dimensions of 2 3/8 x 2 1/4 x 4 3/4 inches
and weighing only 12 oz, this compact camera
can easily be installed in places where space is
limited and installation was previously difficult.
Its stylish and unobtrusive metallic-silver design
will complement any decor.
Turbo AGC
The SSC-DC174 camera is equipped with an
advanced Turbo AGC function.  This allows
users to boost camera gain to 24 dB, enabling
viewers of the image to distinguish the subject
more easily - even if it is shot in low light.  The
AGC mode is switchable between OFF and
TURBO.
Wide Auto Tracing White (ATW) Range
ATW is a feature that automatically adjusts the
camera's white balance to adapt to changing
light conditions.  The SSC-DC174 camera
provides an extremely wide ATW range of 
2,000 K to 10,000 K, allowing adjustment-free
operation under a variety of light conditions.
This ensures that a precise color image is
always obtained.
