Sony's new FCB-EX series of colour block cameras are equipped with an incredibly high
26x zoom lens which has a wide/telephoto horizontal field of view, making them ideally
suited for use in security domes and traffic monitoring applications. These cameras
incorporate an advanced Spherical Privacy Zone Masking feature which allows the masking
function to be interlocked with the camera's pan/tilt/zoom movements, regardless of the
camera angle, ensuring the individual’s privacy.
FEATURES
- 26X Zoom Lens - High Telephoto Zoom and Wide Horizontal Field of view capability - The FCB-EX980 camera features a powerful 26x lens with a WIDE field of view of 54o and a 2.2o telephoto capability.
- Upgraded 3-D "Sperical Privacy Zone Masking" - Incorporating latest generation firmware, this FCB camera features an "advanced privacy zone masking" function for use with a pan/tilt system. The masking blocks can be interlocked to track with pan/tilt/zoom even when the camera is panning in a tilted position or circling.
