High-quality monitoring via the network
You can monitor a high-quality live image from the
camera using the Web browser on a computer connected
to a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network. The
maximum frame rate is 30 fps for SNC-RZ50N and 25
fps for SNC-RZ50P.
Up to 20 users can view an image from one camera at the
same time.
The camera supports JPEG and MPEG4 video
compression (video codecs) and can operate in either the
“Single codec” or “Dual codec” mode. The “Single
codec” mode allows monitoring in one of the two video
codecs, and the “Dual codec” mode allows monitoring
in JPEG and MPEG4 simultaneously.
Remote-controllable high-speed pan/tilt
mechanism and high magnification auto-
focus zoom lens
The camera is provided with a high-speed (300°
rotation/second) pan/tilt mechanism, which allows
–170° to +170° panning and –90° to +25° tilting. The
camera is also provided with a high-magnification zoom
lens with optical zoom of 26 magnifications and digital
zoom of 12 magnifications, for a total of 312
magnifications.
Wireless LAN
Inserting the optional SNCA-CFW1 wireless card into
the CF card slot or PC card slot enables you to transmit
images from the camera via wireless LAN (802.11b).
If you use the CF card slot, insert the Sony wireless card
SNCA-CFW1 (optional) in it. If you use the PC card
slot, use with a commercially available Compact Flash
Type II-PCMCIA converting adaptor.
Image transmission using an e-mail or
FTP
You can send a still image from the camera as an e-mail
or FTP server, attachment by setting off a trigger using
an external sensor input, built-in object detection
function or manual trigger button. You can also send still
images sequentially for a determined period before and
after the trigger to an FTP server, or send them
periodically.
Preset positions and Tour programs
You can save up to 16 preset positions (pan, tilt and
zoom positions) of the camera, and up to 5 tour
programs composed from the preset positions. You can
activate the preset positions by synchronizing them with
an external sensor input or built-in object detection
function.
Intelligent object detection function
The camera is provided an intelligent object detection
function to watch images. This function combines
“Moving object detection” that detects moving objects
in camera images with “Unattended object detection”
that detects objects that do not move for a specified
period in camera images.
Alarm output
The camera is equipped with two sets of alarm outputs.
You can use the alarms to control peripheral devices by
synchronizing them with the external sensor inputs,
built-in object detection function, manual trigger button,
Day/Night function or timer.
Direct panning/tilting
Clicking on a desired point in the viewer allows you to
pan and tilt the camera in the direction of that point.
Dragging a desired area in the viewer allows you to
zoom in the dragged area as well as pan and tilt the
camera.
• You should keep in mind that the images or audio
you are monitoring may be protected by privacy
and other legal rights, and the responsibility for
making sure you are complying with applicable
laws is yours alone.
• Access to the images and audio is protected only
by a user name and the password you set up. No
further authentication is provided nor should you
presume that any other protective filtering is done
by the service. Since the service is Internet-based,
there is a risk that the image or audio you are
monitoring can be viewed or used by a third-party
via the network.
