Special Inner Conduit
Cables
Ball-Joint Lens Mount Technology
With the Sony patented Ball-Joint Lens Mount
mechanism incorporated into the vari-focal lens of
these cameras, the lens can be rotated freely in any
direction. Unlike conventional cameras, it takes only
one action to adjust the pan and tilt angles, allowing
for quick and easy adjustment of the camera‘s
viewing angle during installation.
Ruggedized Design
The vandal-resistant SSC-CD79/CD79P,
SSC-CD77/CD77P, and SSC-CD75/CD75P cameras are
housed in a heavy-duty, aluminum die-cast enclosure
with an impact-resistant polycarbonate dome. These
cameras comply with the IP66
*3
standard, for
protection against water and dust.
*3
Ingress Protection (IP) standard is a system for numerically
classifying the degree of protection provided by enclosures
of electrical equipment against solid objects and liquids.
IP66 means there is no ingress of dust and the equipment is
protected against powerful water jets.
Enhanced Weather Resistance
The SSC-CD77/CD77P and SSC-CD75/CD75P feature
additional water resistance by using a special inner
conduit for the camera cables. In addition, with the
optional YT-HU75 Heater Unit, these cameras can be
used in severe temperatures as low as -40 °C (-40 °F).

Operational Flexibility
Day/Night Function
The SSC-CD79/CD79P and SSC-CD77/CD77P camera
can switch from day mode (color) to night mode
(B/W) by replacing its infrared-cut filter with a clear
filter. Based on user presets, the camera can toggle
between day mode and night mode using an external
sensor or automatically in response to surrounding light
conditions. The camera can simultaneously switch to
night mode and provide a trigger for near-IR
illuminators via its external control port, allowing it to
operate even in zero lx
*4
conditions.
*4
Zero lx means the absence of visible light to the naked eye.
IR illuminators are required to operate at zero lx.
Other Convenient Features
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
Unwanted backlight can often cast a shadow in front
of the subject of an image, making it appear dark to
the camera. The BLC function incorporated in these
cameras automatically compensates for such conditions,
making the subject more visible on the monitor.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
These cameras are equipped with an advanced AGC
function. This automatically boosts the camera gain
up to 24 dB, allowing operators monitoring the
image to distinguish the subject more easily in low
light conditions.
Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW)/ATW Pro
ATW is a feature of these cameras that automatically
adjusts the camera‘s white balance to adapt to
changing light conditions. With ATW, these cameras
can compensate for a color temperature range of
between 2,000 K and 10,000 K, allowing for operation
under a variety of lighting conditions, including special
light sources such as a sodium vapor lamp. When
operating under natural light, incandescent lamps,
or fluorescent light sources, ATW Pro – which
compensates for a color temperature range of
between 2,500 K and 6,000 K – is ideal for reproducing
color images closer to what we see with our eyes.
AC Line Lock/Internal Line Lock
These cameras feature both an AC line lock and an
internal line lock for synchronization. The AC line lock
is ideal in multi-camera operations, as it synchronizes all
cameras connected to the same power line.
This helps to prevent the video from rolling vertically
when switching between cameras. The vertical
phase can be adjusted by ±90 degrees.
Flexible Power Operation
These cameras offer a choice of two types of power:
24 V AC or 12 V DC. The camera automatically adapts
to whichever power source is used, making installation
fast and effective.
