Operational Flexibility

Selectable JPEG, MPEG-4, H.264

Compression Formats

These multi-codec cameras support three compression formats, JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264. The “industry standard” JPEG compression format can be selected when high-quality still images are preferred. MPEG-4 provides clear moving images efficiently over networks when bandwidth is limited. For more efficient compression, when bandwidth is even more limited, the H.264 compression format, which is approximately twice as efficient as MPEG-4, is also available.

Dual Encoding Capability

With a dual encoding capability,these cameras can generate both MPEG-4 and JPEG images simultaneously. For example, you can set up your system to transfer MPEG-4 images over a WAN or an Internet VPN, where network bandwidth is limited, while storing high-resolution JPEG images on a server configured on the LAN.

Wireless Capability

These cameras support IEEE802.11g*2 and IEEE802.11b compliant Wireless LAN Cards. In addition, the optional SNCA-AN1 External Antenna can be used to transmit wireless signals over a longer distance.

A wireless system configuration can save you time and money during installation.

*2 When the SNCA-CFW5 (IEEE802.11g/11b Wireless LAN Card) is used with the SNC-RX Series and SNC-CS50, the typical transfer rate is approximately 3 Mb/s. When used with the SNC-RZ50, the typical transfer rate is approximately 9 Mb/s when using the CF Card slot and approximately

3 Mb/s when using the PC Card slot.

“Day/Night” Function

These cameras can switch from day mode (Color) to night mode (B/W) by replacing the camera’s infrared cut filter with a clear filter. Users can toggle between the two modes, manually,on a predefined schedule, using an external sensor,or automatically in response to surrounding light conditions. When these cameras are in night mode, they are sensitive to near-IR illuminators, allowing them to operate even in zero lx*3 conditions.

*3 Zero lx means absence of visible light to the naked eye.

Bi-Directional Audio

Users can connect an external microphone to these cameras in order to pick up audio from a preferred location. These cameras are also equipped with a speaker output, enabling users to send an alert or make an announcement from a remote location – significantly expanding the possibilities of their monitoring applications.

Voice Alert

The Voice Alert function allows users to upload up to three pre-recorded audio files to these cameras, for playback upon an alarm trigger or on a pre-specified time schedule.

High Level of Security

Intelligent Motion Detection

The built-in IMD function can trigger a variety of actions such as the storage and transfer of images or can trigger an external device through its output relays. False alarms caused by noise and repeated motion patterns are minimized thanks to an advanced Sony algorithm. Plus, when used in conjunction with DEPA-enabled recorders or software, a multitude of filter functions is available to actuate triggers based on more specific movement.

Intelligent Object Detection*4

These cameras can detect objects that have been abandoned or have become stationary for a specified duration. Up to four detection ares can be designnated. This feature is useful for detecting suspicious objects left in public places, or for detecting stalled cars or accidents on the road. Like IMD, filters can be used when configured with DEPA- enabled products.

*4 The intelligent object detection function and the intelligent motion detection function cannot be used simultaneously.

Sensor IN/Alarm OUT Ports

Equipped with two sensor inputs, these cameras can receive triggers from external sensors. Two alarm outputs can also be used to trigger other devices to perform a variety of actions.

Pre-/Post-Alarm Image Storage

These cameras are capable of storing both pre-and post-alarm images on 16 MB of built-in memory or on removable storage media.

Image Transfer Using FTP/SMTP*5

All of the pre-/post-alarm images stored at the time of an alarm event can be transferred to an FTP server for viewing at a later time. Also, a still image generated at the time of an alarm event can be sent to a designated e-mail address.

*5 All images transferred using SMTP are in JPEG format.
