FCB-EV7520-FCB-EV7320, Full High Definition (FHD), high sensitivity, color block cameras by Sony, will bring a new dimension to low light video applications.

Highly respected Sony will soon unveil two new additions to their amazing line of color block cameras: the FCB‐EV7520 (12x with 360x optical zoom), and the FCB‐EV7320 (20x with 240x optical zoom). These 1080p60 cameras feature Sony’s advanced 1/2.8 type Exmor R™ CMOS sensor technology and dedicated image signal processor, producing the highest quality images in lighting as low as 0.01 lx (1/30 second, 50%, High Sensitivity mode on).

The FCB‐EV7520-FCB‐EV7320 cameras produce remarkably clear, concise imaging, coupled with reduced blur, and stand out in applications such as security surveillance, intelligent traffic applications, remote monitoring and video conferencing. With their superior IMX291 back-illuminated rolling shutter CMOS image sensor with Bayer filter, ultra-high sensitivity image quality is achieved in visible-light and near infrared light areas. The sensor is equipped with Sony’s Exmor R chip sensor technology, integrating a light-sensitive area that is more than doubles the sensitivity of standard CMOS sensors, allowing for superior imaging performance with low noise, by utilizing the first pixel distinctively developed for back-illuminated surveillance cameras. Front illuminated cameras do not clearly address an image, however the FCB‐EV7520-FCB-EV7320 cameras with their IR ability, illuminate subjects for clear visibility. The FCB-EV7520-FCB-EV7320 Sony cameras offer multiple feature upgrades: Wide-Dynamic Range Mode (multiple exposure, high image contrast and a crucial improvement of 130dB when set to max WDR), Privacy Zone Masking (guarding private areas that are within the camera’s range of vision, that are not to be surveilled, thus protecting privacy), Defog Mode (allowing subjects to emerge more clearly in areas of low contrast/ foggy or hazy settings), and Auto ICR Function (a high sensitivity imager, perfect for day and/or night functions). Their impressive range of qualities continues – the cameras have Digital 2D and 3D Noise filtering reduction that include five level selections which adjust to fit the environment, motion detection and alarm, electronic shutter/slow shutter, and picture effects that include E-Flip, Nega Art, Black and White, Mirror Image, and Color Enhancement. All of this, coupled with clear FHD imaging, and a skill for fine-tuning and flexible operation, and one has two new cameras with uninterrupted, extra-impressive qualities. Raising the bar in color block cameras, these cameras are equipped with multiple outputs (parallel, Serial LVDS and MIPI), giving them the ability to attain a maximum frame rate of 30 frames per second at full resolution, exceeding most cameras in their field. And, while the FCB-EV7520-FCB-EV7320 cameras produce previously unheard of levels of enhanced sensitivity, all is accomplished in a smaller, compact size (2 inches x 2-3/8 inches x 3-5/8 inches ~ 50mm x 60mm x 89.7mm) and lightweight (9 ounces / 260 grams for the FCB-EV7520, and 9.3 ounces / 265 grams for the FCB-EV7320) – and with additional increased zoom capabilities. When around the clock surveillance is required, there is the possibility that picture quality will have to be sacrificed because of the varying lighting settings. The Sony FCB-EV7520-FCB-EV7320 color block cameras operate perfectly in drastically low lighting levels. Thanks to their low light sensitivity, the Auto ICR (Auto IR-cut Filter Removal) automatically changes from day to night mode, and removes the IR-cut filter to enhance sensitivity for flawless pictures in near-darkness. Their sensitivity has been extended from the visible light range, to include the near-infrared range for night filming, vital for surveillance observation. Sony’s consistent growth and expansion in the area of new and innovative camera design and applications demonstrates their continuing expertise in the field of Full High Definition color block cameras.  Upon release by Sony, the FCB-EV7520-FCB-EV7320 low light surveillance cameras will be available from Aegis Electronic Group, Inc., and will fulfill all video low-light demanding applications.
