Sony SNC-CS50, SNC-RZ50 Network Features, Network Security Features, Other Convenient Features

Network Features

Adaptive Rate Control

In order to control QoS (Quality of Service) levels over a network, these cameras employ an adaptive rate control (ARC) function. ARC automatically varies the video bit-transfer rate to meet changing network conditions and selects the most appropriate frame rates, thus preventing video breakup.

Simultaneous Access

Up to 20 users can simultaneously access these cameras and monitor images separately.

Multicasting Capability

When configured with a multicast router,these cameras can efficiently stream MPEG-4 and H.246 video and audio to a large number of users.

DDNS Support*6

SNC-RZ50

Because the SNC-RZ50 supports DDNS, a unique host name can be assigned to the camera when using a dynamic IP address over the Internet.

Network Security Features

IEEE802.1X Compliant

These cameras support IEEE802.1X port-based network access control. This means they can be integrated to a network environment that uses the IEEE802.1X client-authorization protocol for security purposes. This feature can be used on both wired- and wireless-connections.

SSL Compliant

SNC-RZ50

The SNC-RZ50 supports the SSL protocol for encrypting data, to enable secure data transmission over networks.

RS-232C Interface

Transparency Function:

These cameras have a transparency function that allows external equipment connected via the RS-232C interface to be controlled or monitored, by a PC over a network.

VISCATM Protocol:

SNC-RX Series SNC-RZ50

The SNC-RX Series and the SNC-RZ50 can interface with external control equipment using the Sony VISCA protocol. This configuration allows for local control of Pan/Tilt/Zoom and adjustment of camera settings.

Other Convenient Features

Date/Time Superimposition

The date and time of recorded images can be superimposed on the video while it is being monitored and recorded. This feature is ideal not only for easily identifying the exact date and time of an event during playback, but because the information becomes part of the video image, it is also useful when providing video evidence to authorities.

File Export to Various Removable Media

The SNC multi-codec cameras are equipped with a PC card slot and/or other removable media slots, allowing users to store images on removable media as required.

Privacy Zone Masking Functions*7

Spherical Privacy Zone Masking:

SNC-RX Series SNC-RZ50

This technology allows masked areas to be interlocked with the camera’s Pan/Tilt/Zoom movements regardless of the camera angle or even if it is circling. Up to eight unwanted or prohibited areas within an image can be masked precisely and appropriately.

Privacy Zone Masking:

SNC-CS50

Up to seven unwanted or prohibited areas within an image can be masked.

*7 Supplied “SNC Privacy Masking Tool”software is required to set masking areas.

Versatile Interfaces

Analog Composite Video Output

These cameras can output an analog composite video signal via the BNC connector.This feature is ideal for local video recording or monitoring.

Also, the analog composite video signal provides a high-horizontal resolution ranging from 450 to 540 TV lines depending on the model, delivering amazingly clear and detailed images.

Mechanical “Auto-Flip” Function

SNC-RX Series

The SNC-RX Series combines a 90-degree tilt capability with 360-degree rotation to track subjects passing beneath it. First, the camera tilts down 90 degrees until the subject is directly beneath it. Then it rotates 180 degrees, and tilts back up to track the subject as it moves away. This combination of moves is known as the Auto-Flip function.

24 V AC, 12 V DC, or PoE Operation

SNC-CS50

The SNC-CS50 offers a choice of three types of power: 24 V AC, 12 V DC, or PoE (Power-over-Ethernet, IEEE 802.3af). The camera automatically adapts to the applied power source for fast and effective operation.
