Selecting the frame rate

Click the down-arrow button in the Frame rate box and select the frame rate with which the images are transmitted, from the drop-down list.

You can select the frame rate from among the following: SNC-CS3N:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, Fastest

SNC-CS3P:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, Fastest

The numbers indicate “FPS” (the number of frames transmitted per second).

With Fastest, the camera transmits the maximum number of frames possible for the connected line. The maximum frame rate is 30 FPS for the SNC-CS3N and 25 FPS for the SNC-CS3P.

Note

The frame rate options indicate the maximum number of frames that can be transmitted. The number of frames actually transmitted may vary depending on the network environments and camera settings (image size and image quality settings).

Selecting the view size

Click the down-arrow button in the View size box and select the view size from the drop-down list.

You can select the view size from among the following: Auto, 640 × 480, 320 × 240, 160 × 120

SNC-CS3P, SNC-CS3N specifications

The Sony SNC-CS3N and SNC-CS3P are advanced network cameras designed to meet the needs of various surveillance applications. Equipped with cutting-edge features and technologies, they provide high-quality video output and reliable performance in a range of environments.

One of the standout characteristics of both models is their high-resolution image capture. With a progressive scan CMOS sensor, these cameras deliver exceptional clarity and detail, making them suitable for monitoring large areas or specific points of interest. The ability to capture video in 720p HD ensures that users can identify subjects clearly, an essential capability for security and surveillance purposes.

Both the SNC-CS3N and SNC-CS3P boast True Day/Night functionality, enabling them to adapt to changing lighting conditions. The IR cut filter ensures that images remain sharp during the day while switching to Night mode for optimum performance in low-light conditions. This feature expands the operational capabilities of the cameras, allowing them to function effectively 24/7.

The cameras also incorporate Sony's advanced image processing technologies, including noise reduction and automatic exposure control. These technologies enhance image quality, ensuring clear and stable footage even in challenging conditions. The SNC-CS3P variant offers additional features like Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), helping to capture details in both bright and dark areas in the same scene. This is particularly beneficial in environments with high contrast lighting.

Connectivity is another key aspect of the SNC-CS3N and SNC-CS3P. They support IP networking, allowing users to view live feeds and recordings via a web interface or compatible mobile applications. This remote access capability makes it easy to monitor premises from anywhere in the world, enhancing security and peace of mind.

Both models feature built-in motion detection, which can trigger recording and alerts, ensuring that users are notified of potential security breaches in real-time. Furthermore, the cameras support various video compression formats, including H.264 and MJPEG, optimizing bandwidth usage and storage efficiency without compromising image quality.

In terms of installation and integration, the SNC-CS3N and SNC-CS3P are designed for flexibility. They can be mounted on walls or ceilings, and their sleek, compact design ensures they blend seamlessly into their surroundings. This combination of performance, adaptability, and user-friendly features makes them a compelling choice for both residential and commercial surveillance needs.

Overall, the Sony SNC-CS3N and SNC-CS3P network cameras represent a robust solution for those seeking reliable, high-quality video surveillance technology, capable of meeting the demands of various environments while ensuring comprehensive security coverage.
