The High-Performance Network Camera With Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Delivering Outstanding Image Quality – The Improved SNC-RZ30*1Is the One!
Combining network functionality with a Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) capability, the SNC-RZ30 takes applications such as remote monitoring, webcasting, etc. to the next step by offering the flexibility to see almost anything within the camera's range and field-of-view over a TCP/IP network. Images from the SNC-RZ30 can be viewed and the PTZ movement can be controlled using a PC running a standard browser without the need for additional software. Moreover, setup is very easy because the setup menu is also browser-based.
The SNC-RZ30 features a 25x optical zoom capability that allows a user to zoom in on small or distant objects with exceptional clarity. Image quality is extremely high because the SNC-RZ30 uses a newly improved high-resolution CCD imager and a high-quality image processor. The SNC-RZ30 employs motion-JPEG compression and can be set up to transfer these JPEG images to an FTP server or to a specified e-mail address. Also, the frame rate for this camera can be set as high as 30 fps,*2 which makes for very smooth moving images. The SNC-RZ30 features two built-in PC card slots to further expand the unit's memory with removable media,*3 allowing you to store tens of thousands of images. In addition, the card slot can accept IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless cards,*4 enabling the unit to be wirelessly connected to a network.
Finally, unlike most network cameras, the SNC-RZ30 has an analog composite video output that can be fed to a local video monitor or a video recorder, for viewing and redundant recording.
All of this functionality is packaged into one sleek, compact, and lightweight body that can be either ceiling mounted or placed on a flat surface. Make the feature rich SNC-RZ30 the camera for your network applications.
