Administrating the Camera

Setting the Alarm Buffer

— Alarm buffer setting Page

When you click Alarm buffer on the Administrator menu, the Alarm buffer Setting page appears.

Use this page to set up for the alarm buffer used in the FTP client function (see page 27) and the Image memory function (see page 35).

Recording interval

Select the interval (in seconds) at which you want to record an image in the alarm buffer.

You can select from among the following intervals: SNC-CS3N:

1/30, 1/15, 1/10, 1/5, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (seconds)

SNC-CS3P:

1/25, 1/12, 1/8, 1/5, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (seconds)

Pre-alarm images

Type the number of images to be recorded before detecting an alarm (Pre-alarm).

Post-alarm images

Type the number of images to be recorded after detecting an alarm (Post-alarm).

Maximum alarm images

Displays the maximum number of images that can be recorded in the alarm buffer with the current image size and image quality.

Note

The number of Maximum alarm images differs depending on the Image size and Image quality settings on the Camera setting page.

Check the Maximum alarm images setting and set so that the total number of Pre-alarm images and Post- alarm images does not exceed the Maximum alarm images.

If you set both Pre-alarm images and Post-alarm images to 0, only one image is recorded at the moment when an alarm is detected.

OK/Cancel

See “Buttons common to every setting page” on page 17.

Communicating Data via Serial Port

— Serial setting Page

When you click Serial on the Administrator menu, the Serial setting page appears.

Use this page to set up for the date communication via the serial interface. You can input data from a computer via the network to the camera, and output it to an external serial interface for controlling a peripheral device, or, vice versa, input data from a peripheral device to the camera via the external serial interface and output it to the computer via the network.

Perform the setting to match the peripheral device you connect to the camera.

The external serial interface of this camera conforms to RS-232C standards.

Mode

Select the port through which you send and receive data via the network: HTTP (HTTP Generic Driver) or TCP (TCP Generic Driver).

HTTP: When you select HTTP, you can realize data communication by creating an HTML program with CGI commands embedded in the computer.

For the CGI commands, consult your authorized Sony dealer.

TCP: When you select TCP, specify the TCP port number on the TCP Port No. menu, and you can send and receive data that is input to or output from the external serial communication port. You can check the connection to the camera using a DOS command “telnet [host name] [assigned port number]”.

TCP port No.

When you select TCP on the Mode menu, type the port number for the TCP port (TCP Generic Driver). Set a port number other than Well-Known port numbers (0 to 1023).

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.
