The Sony SNC-RZ30N Pan/tilt/zoom Network Color Camera combines a
responsive pan/tilt movement, auto focus, low-light sensitivity, and a
powerful zoom, with a network connection and IP capability, making it
ideal for surveillance and remote monitoring applications that require
orientation and focus on different details. With the addition of its
compact design and advanced feature set, the Sony SNC-RZ30N is perfect
for a wide range of surveillance applications including the monitoring
of people and property in buildings, offices, warehouses, retail outlets,
and shopping centers. The Sony SNC-RZ30N Color Network Camera is a digital network camera
that distributes live images or video over an intranet or the Internet
via a built-in web-server. The Sony SNC-RZ30N allows high-quality remote
surveillance from any browser on the network, and provides full
Web-based control of its various management and configuration functions.
Connecting via 10/100 Base T/TX Ethernet, the SNC-RZ30N uses the JPEG
compression format and achieves up to 30 fps (frames per second) via the
NTSC TV signal system.
This integrated PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) camera provides up to 736-by-480
effective pixels, with an extraordinary 25x optical and 12x digital zoom
that allows you to clearly pick out even the most distant objects. The
Sony SNC-RZ30N features activity detection, and includes a built-in
alarm input/output and video output. This camera even presents a
transparent interface from RS-232C/485 to Ethernet for network-based
control of external devices connected to the camera, and allows up to 50
concurrent users to access the camera via the Internet at levels
determined by administrator security settings.
The Sony SNC-RZ30N has a pan-angle range of 340 degrees with a
tilt-angle range of 115 degrees, and can cover the entire panning
distance in under two seconds with speeds that can be manually
controlled or set to automatic. This unit features the ability to set 16
areas of interest and have the camera rotate between them automatically.
This camera also features an 8 MB image buffer, a PCMCIA slot for
wireless, good nighttime sensitivity with a minimum illumination of 0.18
Lux.

10/100 base-T Ethernet
The Sony SNC-RZ30N surveillance camera is a
reliable, economical and high-quality solution for demanding interactive
surveillance and is designed primarily for indoor use. User's should
note, however, that the camera's image sensor may become permanently
damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light, so
the camera should not be mounted or pointed directly at the sun or other
bright-light sources. This camera also requires a PC that is not
included in this package in order to take advantage of the Internet
functionality. About Surveillance Camera Technical Features
Lux rating is the
measurement used to indicate how sensitive a camera is to light, and
stands for the level of light reflected off a piece of paper by a candle
from one meter away. Thus a sensitivity of three would mean a camera
could generate an acceptable picture of a piece-of-paper-sized object
that was illuminated by the equivalent of three candles from one meter
away. The lower the level, the better the camera's ability to work in
low-light conditions. The camera's resolution should be greater than or
equal to the resolution supported by the system's recorder or monitor.
The S/N, or signal to noise ratio, is an important measure of a camera's
quality. A poor camera, low-light conditions or poor wiring causes
"noise" which consumes processing power and disk space. A camera with a
wide dynamic range is ideal, especially for recording areas in which
both indoor and outdoor light are present. CCD (charge-coupled device)
sensors provide high-quality images that are less susceptible to noise.
CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors offer less image
quality, but are usually more cost-effective and energy efficient.
About IP Cameras
An IP camera can be used to project images and video
directly through a computer's Web browser for remote monitoring. An IP
camera, unlike a web cam, contains the IP and Web page within it and can
often be added to a network without additional configuration or software.
Combined with a network video recorder, an IP camera can be used to
construct a reliable video surveillance system.
About Pan/Tilt Cameras
A Pan/Tilt Camera has the ability to pan
("move" horizontally), or tilt ("move" vertically). IP cameras often
have pan/tilt capability. A pan/tilt camera is ideal for monitoring of
situations that need a continual real-time adjustment of the views.
