"Day/Night" Function
The SNC-RZ30 offers a "Day/Night" function to provide optimized sensitivity in both day and night environments. As the scene darkens, the infrared cut-filter is automatically replaced with a clear filter and the camera switches to B/W mode, requiring a much lower minimum illumination level. Three modes can be set: automatic, manual, or timer mode.
Image Transfer Using FTP/SMTP
Because the SNC-RZ30 supports both FTP and SMTP protocols, JPEG still image data can be transferred, as required, either to an FTP server or to a specified e-mail address as a JPEG attachment.
Activity Detection/Alarm Trigger
The SNC-RZ30 has a built-in activity detection function that can be set to trigger its two output relays. When there is movement in the field-of-view of the camera, the camera can trigger either or both of its relays to, for example, set off an audible alarm, turn on a lamp, or send a signal to an electric door strike to lock or unlock a door. In addition to using the built-in activity detection function, the SNC-RZ30 can be configured with up to three external sensors for expanded functionality. These sensors can also be set to trigger the camera's output relays, or to move the camera to a preset position.
Moreover, other actions can be performed at the time of an alarm event triggered by either the activity detection function or an external sensor. For example, sending the image that was captured when the alarm was activated, to an e-mail address or to an FTP server is possible. Also, because the SNC-RZ30 has 8 MB of RAM designated as a buffer and a high-speed data- transfer capability of up to 30 fps,*7 hundreds of images from before and after the alarm was triggered can be buffered in the RAM and if required transferred to an FTP server.
*7 The SNC-RZ30N transfers data at speeds up to 30 fps while the SNC-RZ30P transfers data at speeds up to 25 fps.
Two Type II PC Card Slots
Two Type II PC card slots are integrated into the SNC-RZ30, and can accept the following types of PC cards:*8
Memory Card
You can increase the SNC-RZ30 storage capacity by adding either a flash memory card or an ATA Hard Disk Drive (HDD) card. IC recording media such as a Memory Stick™ media card with a Memory Stick/PC card adaptor can also be used.
Wireless Card
Wireless networks are becoming more prevalent allowing you to install your SNC-RZ30 without unsightly wires. The SNC-RZ30 is compatible with IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless PC cards.
*8 Please contact your local Sony sales office for a list of compatible PC cards for use with the SNC-RZ30.
PCMCIA Type II x 2
Analog Composite Video Output
The SNC-RZ30 can output an analog composite video signal via the BNC connector on the unit's rear panel.*9 This is an ideal feature for sending signals to a local recording device or monitor.
*9 The SNC-RZ30N output is in NTSC format (525/60), and the SNC-RZ30P output is in PAL format (625/50).
