Sony FCB-EW9500H 4 MP (2160p/60)

Sony FCB-EW9500H 4 MP (2160p/60) Block Camera, 30x Optical Zoom, HDMI Output, 1/1.8″ Sensor, High Sensitivity, Super Image Stabilizer

The Sony FCB-EW9500H represents the pinnacle of block camera technology, combining a high-resolution 4MP (2160p/60) output with a massive 30x Enhanced Optical Zoom. At its core is a 1/1.8-type STARVIS™ CMOS sensor, engineered for ultra-high sensitivity and exceptional performance in low-light conditions. This camera is specifically designed for system integrators in fields such as security surveillance, drone/UAV gimbals, medical imaging, and industrial inspection, where long-range clarity and stable video are non-negotiable.

Key Features

Featuring the revolutionary Super Image Stabilizer (Super/Super+ Mode), the FCB-EW9500H significantly suppresses image blur caused by high-frequency vibrations—a critical feature for cameras mounted on moving platforms or in high-wind environments. The lens system is optimized to reduce aberrations, providing sharp imagery from the wide-end to the full telephoto extension. Additionally, it introduces Spot Focus, Spot AE, and Spot AWB, allowing pilots and operators to specify exact areas of the screen for exposure and focus calculation, ensuring the subject is always perfectly captured regardless of background lighting.

Specifications

Equipped with a native HDMI (TMDS) digital output, this camera offers “plug-and-play” compatibility with high-end monitors and recording systems. It operates on a versatile 7.0V to 12.0V DC power range with a low power consumption of approximately 4.6W. The camera supports the industry-standard VISCA protocol, enabling precise remote control over zoom, focus, and shutter settings. Despite its powerful 30x optics, the unit maintains a compact footprint (56 x 64 x 125 mm) and weighs just 439g, making it light enough for high-end gimbal integration.

Applications

The FCB-EW9500H is a versatile workhorse. In Law Enforcement and Surveillance, its ability to identify license plates from over 350 meters makes it indispensable. For Drone and ROV Operators, the combination of 4MP resolution and rolling shutter stabilization provides cinematic-quality data for infrastructure inspections (power lines, bridges). It is also widely used in Medical Imaging, where the 30x zoom allows for non-invasive, high-detail observation in surgical or diagnostic environments.
