Other Convenient Features

✜Solid PTZ/Cropping Functions

SNC-DM160 SNC-DM110

To minimize data size when network bandwidth is limited, Solid PTZ and Cropping are useful features. The Solid PTZ function allows users to select a specified area within the camera's field of view at a lower resolution such as VGA. By doing so, users can electronically pan, tilt, and zoom within the image. (See Fig. 4) In addition, the Solid PTZ function can be used in conjunction with motion detection, allowing users to monitor only areas where there is movement and to automatically track moving objects within the camera's field of view.

The cropping function allows users to freely crop portions of the full-resolution megapixel image to accentuate a monitoring area or to remove areas that do not need to be monitored. (See Fig. 5)

✜Date/Time Superimposition

The date and time of images recorded by these cameras can be superimposed on the video while it is being monitored and recorded. This makes it easy to identify the exact date and time of an event during playback. Also, because the information becomes part of the video image, it is a useful feature when providing video evidence to authorities. In addition, up to 20 characters on a single line can be used to display further information such as the monitoring location and the camera name.

✜Privacy Zone Masking

These cameras can mask up to seven unwanted or prohibited areas within an image for privacy protection.

✜Analog Composite Video Output

An analog composite video signal can be output via the BNC connector. This feature is ideal for storing images to a local recorder.

✜24 V AC, 12 V DC, or PoE Operation

These cameras offer a choice of three types of power: 24 V AC, 12 V DC, or PoE (Power-over-Ethernet, IEEE 802.3af). They automatically adapt to whichever power source is used, making installation fast and effective.

✜Network Features

•Simultaneous Access for up to 10 Users
