Sony Expands IPELA Engine EX Family With New Entry- And Mid-Level Models

  • Apr 11, 2013

Sony Electronics is expanding its IPELA ENGINE EX family with the new E series IP cameras available in both HD and Full HD resolution.

The new series brings the proven benefits of IPELA ENGINE technology – image quality, dynamic range, low light performance, and image stabilization – to a range of entry-to-mid-level applications including retail, education and banking. In addition, two new EX V series cameras expand the mid-level and high end models.

Each member of the IPELA ENGINE EX E series incorporates improvements in core camera functionality to provide optimal images even in the most challenging security scenarios. The latest advances in View-DR dynamic range enhancing technology deliver detail even when imaging brightly backlit figures. Noise reduction is significantly enhanced and low light sensitivity is tremendously improved to more than twice that of Sony's previous pace-setting cameras. Together, these enable high performance for both day and night applications. This surpasses cameras built with technologies that can only perform in either day or night use. All new models also incorporate image stabilization to reduce camera shake caused by wind and vibrations in mounting platforms. Camera shake blurs images, washing out details. This new feature compensates for it so that EX E series cameras deliver imaging excellence despite such adverse conditions.

The 10 new cameras in the EX E Series offer a comprehensive line-up of fixed, minidome, vandal-proof minidome and outdoor, ruggedized minidome models. These are designed to be used for everyday video surveillance needs. Each IP camera delivers high performance, unprecedented flexibility and cost-efficiency.

"The E series is an important expansion to the IPELA ENGINE EX lineup, making the new platform's extraordinary image quality and capabilities available to a broader base of customers," said Mark Collett, General Manager, Sony Security Systems Division. "Like all IPELA ENGINE cameras, the EX E series incorporates fundamental advances in dynamic range, low light sensitivity and low noise performance. It's a perfect choice for entry-to-mid level customers looking to break new ground in a highly competitive marketplace."

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
