Features

High-quality monitoring via the network

You can monitor a high-quality live image from the camera using the Web browser on the computer connected to the 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network. The maximum frame rate is 30 FPS for the SNC-CS3N and 25 FPS for the SNC-CS3P.

Up to 50 users can view the image from one camera at the same time.

Available Web browsers

Microsoft Internet Explorer Ver. 5.5 or 6.0

(Available OS: Windows 98/ 98SE/ Me/ NT4.0/ 2000/ XP)

High-sensitivity and superior picture quality

The 1/3 type Exwave HADTM CCD offers superior picture quality – high horizontal resolution, high sensitivity, an excellent signal-to-noise and a low smear level.

Image recording on the built-in memory

You can record still images from the camera onto the camera’s built-in memory (about 8 MB). You can record a still image at the moment when a trigger by the external sensor input, built-in activity detection function or manual trigger button occurs, or still images sequentially for a determined period before and after the trigger. Periodic recording of still images is also possible.

Image transmission using an E-mail or FTP server

You can send a still image from the camera as an attachment of an E-mail or to an FTP server, at the moment when a trigger by the external sensor input, built-in activity detection function or manual trigger button occurs. You can also send still images sequentially for a determined period before and after the trigger to an FTP server, or send them periodically.

If you use the FTP client software of the computer, you can also search for and receive the still image recorded in the built-in memory.

Alarm output

The camera is equipped with two sets of alarm outputs. You can use them to control peripheral devices by synchronizing with the external sensor inputs, built-in activity detection function, manual trigger button, or timer.

Transparency-type RS-232C interface

If you connect peripheral devices to the camera via the RS-232C interface, you can control the devices from the computer via the network and receive data from these devices.

Analog video output

The analog video output allows connecting a VTR or TV monitor for local image recording and monitoring.

Sony SNC-CS3N, SNC-CS3P manual Features

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.
