FEATURES
Clear and Bright HD Images 
Excellent HD Picture Quality at 30 fps
The SNC-CH140 and SNC-DH140 utilize H.264, MPEG-4, 
and JPEG compression formats to bring you clear and 
detailed HD images.  Capable of streaming video in 
HD at 30 frames per second (fps), these cameras are 
ideal for wide-area surveillance applications.
The new Exmor CMOS sensor
The Exmor CMOS sensor, newly designed for 
surveillance, features a high-speed readout capability 
that captures multiple HD resolution 
images at a very high speed.  
Incorporating this advanced 1/3-type 
progressive Exmor CMOS sensor, the 
SNC-CH140 and SNC-DH140 realize 
high image quality and high sensitivity 
for surveillance in HD resolution.
Drastic Improvement in Visibility
View-DR  
(Visibility enhanced wide Dynamic Range)
The SNC-CH140 and SNC-DH140 include View-DR 
technology, which is a combination of Sony’s full-
capture Wide-D technology, high-speed Exmor CMOS 
sensor, and Visibility Enhancer technology.  With close 
to 2X the sensitivity of cameras with conventional 
Wide-D technology alone, View-DR technology enable 
these cameras to capture images with very high 
visibility.
Visibility Enhancer*
1
Additionally, the SNC-CH140 and SNC-DH140 include 
Visibility Enhancer, a tone-correction technology that 
optimizes the visibility of a scene by increasing 
brightness in the darker areas, and compressing the 
brighter areas.  The results are sharper, clearer images 
and a higher level of visibility − all of which are critical 
for security surveillance.
XDNR (eXcellent Dynamic Noise Reduction)
Incorporating newly developed XDNR technology, 
these cameras provide clear images while at the same 
time minimizing motion blur under low illumination.  
This technology is ideal for surveillance in low-light 
conditions, such as night-time monitoring.
Intelligence
DEPA Advanced − Intelligent Video and  
Audio Analytics
Incorporating DEPA™ Advanced technology, the  
SNC-CH140 and SNC-DH140 offer intelligent video and 
audio analytics.  This allows users to further refine the 
criteria for triggering an alarm, making the overall 
system more efficient.
• Intelligent Motion Detection
In using the camera’s intelligent motion detection, 
users can also define up to three rules for alarm 
activation, such as creating virtual borders, or 
detection areas in the camera’s field of view.  
Additionally, these cameras feature a beam intrusion 
detector*
2
 that can create a virtual beam - if 
anybody passes through this beam, an alarm is 
triggered.
• Tamper Alarm
When an attempt is made to tamper with the 
camera, such as spray-painting the lens, the camera 
detects this and triggers an alarm.  This event can be 
used to activate the alarm output relays, or even to 
start the Voice Alert function.
• Advanced Audio Detection*
2
Unlike conventional audio detection, where an alarm 
is triggered based on a flat, preset audio level, the 
new cameras periodically ingest the ambient sound 
level and frequencies, to establish a threshold over 
the ambient level.  Any sounds above this threshold 
would trigger an alarm.
