Overview

•You should keep in mind that the images or audio you are monitoring may be protected by privacy and other legal rights, and the responsibility for making sure you are complying with applicable laws is yours alone.

•Access to the images and audio is protected only by a user name and the password you set up. No further authentication is provided nor should you presume that any other protective filtering is done by the service. Since the service is Internet-based, there is a risk that the image or audio you are monitoring can be viewed or used by a third-party via the network.

Overview

Features

High-quality monitoring via the network

You can monitor a high-quality live image from the camera using the Web browser on a computer connected to a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network. The maximum frame rate is 30 fps for SNC-RZ50N and 25 fps for SNC-RZ50P.

Up to 20 users can view an image from one camera at the same time.

The camera supports JPEG and MPEG4 video compression (video codecs) and can operate in either the “Single codec” or “Dual codec” mode. The “Single codec” mode allows monitoring in one of the two video codecs, and the “Dual codec” mode allows monitoring in JPEG and MPEG4 simultaneously.

Remote-controllable high-speed pan/tilt mechanism and high magnification auto- focus zoom lens

The camera is provided with a high-speed (300° rotation/second) pan/tilt mechanism, which allows –170° to +170° panning and –90° to +25° tilting. The camera is also provided with a high-magnification zoom lens with optical zoom of 26 magnifications and digital zoom of 12 magnifications, for a total of 312 magnifications.

Wireless LAN

Inserting the optional SNCA-CFW1 wireless card into the CF card slot or PC card slot enables you to transmit images from the camera via wireless LAN (802.11b).

If you use the CF card slot, insert the Sony wireless card SNCA-CFW1 (optional) in it. If you use the PC card slot, use with a commercially available Compact Flash Type II-PCMCIA converting adaptor.

Image transmission using an e-mail orFTP

You can send a still image from the camera as an e-mail or FTP server, attachment by setting off a trigger using an external sensor input, built-in object detection function or manual trigger button. You can also send still images sequentially for a determined period before and after the trigger to an FTP server, or send them periodically.

Preset positions and Tour programs

You can save up to 16 preset positions (pan, tilt and zoom positions) of the camera, and up to 5 tour programs composed from the preset positions. You can activate the preset positions by synchronizing them with an external sensor input or built-in object detection function.

Intelligent object detection function

The camera is provided an intelligent object detection function to watch images. This function combines “Moving object detection” that detects moving objects in camera images with “Unattended object detection” that detects objects that do not move for a specified period in camera images.

Alarm output

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

Direct panning/tilting

Clicking on a desired point in the viewer allows you to pan and tilt the camera in the direction of that point. Dragging a desired area in the viewer allows you to zoom in the dragged area as well as pan and tilt the camera.
