Providing various convenient features such as Turbo AGC, Auto Tracing White (ATW) Balance,
Back-Light Compensation and more, the SSC-DC172P offers an ideal solution for a wide range
of surveillance applications in locations ranging from offices and retail stores to warehouses. 
And all at an affordable price!
High Picture Quality
The SSC-DC172P 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
This camera incorporates Sony DSP 
technology for powerful picture contrast control.
Providing outstanding stability over long periods
of time and reliability levels unattainable with
analogue signal processors, the SSC-DC172P
captures superb images under various lighting
conditions.
Compact and Stylish Design
With dimensions of 60 (W) x 54 (H) x 120 (D) mm
and weighing only 355 grams, this compact
camera can easily be installed in places where
space is limited and installation was previously
difficult for larger cameras. Stylish and unobtru-
sive, the metallic-silver design will complement
any decor.
Turbo AGC
The SSC-DC172P camera is equipped with an
advanced Turbo AGC function. This allows users
to boost camera gain to 24 dB, enabling subjects
to be distinguished more easily - even when 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-DC172P 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 colour image is always obtained.
Back-Light Compensation (BLC)
Unwanted backlighting can often cause the 
subject matter of an image to be cast into 
shadow. The BLC function automatically 
compensates for such conditions and makes the
subject easily visible with an improved level of
object recognition.
