Sony SRGA12 8.5 Megapixel 4K Network Camera — Color Black

Experience a new standard in intelligent surveillance with the Sony SRGA12, an 8.5‑megapixel, 4K network camera that blends razor‑sharp imaging with advanced AI analytics and PTZ Auto Framing. Designed for busy environments like retail spaces, corporate campuses, and commercial facilities, this camera delivers cinematic level framing and proactive security without the need for constant human control. It’s built to blend into any setting while delivering powerful performance, intuitive operation, and reliable network integration. The SRGA12 leverages Sony’s expertise in imaging technology to produce incredibly clear detail, accurate color reproduction, and smooth 4K video that stands up to the most demanding monitoring requirements. Whether you’re monitoring a storefront, a lobby, or a large office floor, this camera helps you capture decisive moments with precision, speed, and confidence.

• AI‑driven PTZ Auto Framing for hands‑free video composition. Built‑in AI analytics analyze scene dynamics and automatically adjust pan, tilt, and zoom to create well‑composed footage. This means subjects stay centered, action remains in frame, and you get consistently professional video without an operator touching the controls.
• Stunning 8.5 MP 4K image quality for crisp detail. Capture high‑resolution video at ultra‑clear 4K (3840x2160) so you never miss important facial features, license plates, or small text. The camera’s optics and sensor work together to preserve realistic color and contrast in a wide range of lighting conditions.
• Built‑in analytics that power proactive security. The SRGA12 includes intelligent analytics capable of detecting people, objects, motion, and other events. Alerts can be sent instantly to your security team or integrated into your VMS/NVR for rapid incident response, reducing response times and improving overall situational awareness.
• Seamless network integration with flexible installation options. Designed for modern IP surveillance, this camera supports standard network infrastructure and can be deployed across wired Ethernet networks. Its compact, understated form factor makes it ideal for ceilings, walls, or discreet placements in retail spaces and offices, while providing reliable performance over long cable runs.
• Durable build with practical deployment features. The SRGA12 is engineered to withstand real‑world use with a robust chassis and streamlined setup. It offers flexible mounting options, secure access controls, and compatibility with common enterprise video management ecosystems, helping you deploy quickly and maintain long‑term operation without complex workarounds.

How to Install Sony SRGA12

• Prepare the installation environment. Determine the optimal vantage point for coverage and framing. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy and suitable for a ceiling or wall installation. Verify that your network supports PoE if you plan to power the camera through Ethernet.
• Connect to power and network. Use a PoE switch or injector to provide both power and data connection. Connect the camera’s Ethernet port to the network and confirm link activity via the status indicators or the camera’s web interface.
• Access the camera’s configuration interface. Use the default IP address or a discovery utility to locate the SRGA12 on your network. Log in with the provided credentials and begin the initial setup, including time zone, network settings, and user access controls.
• Calibrate PTZ Auto Framing and analytics. Enable PTZ Auto Framing and configure camera presets, movement limits, and framing preferences. Activate built‑in AI analytics and set up event rules, alerts, and integration with your VMS or NVR so you receive timely notifications when security events occur.
• Test and integrate with your security system. Verify video quality, framing accuracy, and analytics performance. Ensure the SRGA12 streams correctly to your recording platform and that remote access and alerting function as expected. Perform a final check on lighting changes and adjust exposure, white balance, and picture profiles as needed.

Frequently asked questions

• What is PTZ Auto Framing? PTZ Auto Framing is an AI‑driven technology that automatically analyzes the scene to keep subjects centered and the action within the frame. It reduces the need for manual camera control while delivering consistently composed video, especially in dynamic environments.
• Does the SRGA12 support 4K resolution? Yes. It captures and streams video in 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160), providing enhanced detail for identification and analysis.
• Can this camera operate without a dedicated operator? The camera is designed to minimize manual operation through AI analytics and Auto Framing, making it suitable for unstaffed surveillance setups while still offering manual controls when needed.
• Is PoE supported? Yes. Power over Ethernet simplifies installation by delivering power and data over a single cable, reducing clutter and the number of required power sources on site.
• How do I integrate the SRGA12 with a VMS or NVR? The camera is built to work with common IP surveillance ecosystems. You can add it to your existing VMS/NVR using standard ONVIF profiles or vendor‑specific integration options, configure notifications, and map its streams to your recording and playback workflows.
