Sony continues to improve FCB technology with the latest E series camera modules. The FCB-EX995E/P incorporates a number of upgrades and new features in order once again drive the standard for industrial camera block technology.

The FCB-EX995E/P is available in both PAL (FCB-EX995EP) and NTSC (FCB-EX995E) and adopts a number of new features designed for the digital age, including a new progressive scan ¼-type EXview HAD CCD, high resolution (up to 550 TV line) and a digital output option, supporting the future demands of digital video infrastructure.

The camera module includes a newly designed 28x zoom lens and incorporates new StableZoom™ technology, which combines image stabilisation with digital zoom in order to enhance the picture and maintain horizontal angle of view, resulting in a equivalent zoom ratio of 33x optical zoom. The new 28x lens is highly durable supporting an extremely fast zoom capability (2.5 seconds from tele end to wide end). Due to the ‘bright’ nature of the new lens, when combined with the Progressive Scan sensor, the FCB-EX995E/P can operate at a minimum illumination of 0.65 lx (F1.35 measured at 50IRE). The picture quality at low light is further enhanced via the combined 2D/3D superior Enhanced Noise Reduction capability - with 5 levels - in. This together with an auto on/off Wide Dynamic Range, and auto ICR function makes the FCB-EX995E/P particularly suitable for integration into challenging outdoor video surveillance monitoring applications.

In order to meet a wider range of applications, the FCB-EX995E/P also comes equipped with evermore sophisticated additional specifications and features, including a wider operating temperature range, temperature readout, Colour Enhancement and Slow AE Response (beyond 10 minutes) as well as other features inherited from earlier FCB EX series cameras. These and other features make the FCB-EX995E/P the definitive choice for security & monitoring systems, but also suitable for low vision systems, inspection and UAV applications among others.
