Featuring the MPEG-4 compression format, as
well as the more widely used JPEG compression format, this camera
provides smooth, streaming video and audio over networks, including
those with low bandwidth. Clear, Smooth Resolution
Featuring MPEG-4 data compression, as well as
the widely-used JPEG compression formats, the Sony SNC-M1 offers clear,
smooth reproduction of live moving images at frame rates up to 30 frames
per second (fps) at 320x240 resolution. You can choose the compression
format you prefer, as well as the image size. The 320 x 240-sized images
offer a maximum frame rate of 30 fps, while 640 x 480-sized images
provide clearer and more detailed viewing. What's more, the camera
automatically adjusts the video bit rate to meet changing network
conditions, allowing you to view your video images even at low
bandwidths.
Audio Monitoring
Incorporating a built-in microphone, the Sony SNC-M1
also offers high-quality audio monitoring. For enhanced audio pick-up
from the camera's location, the camera includes an external microphone
jack, while a speaker output allows you to communicate with the remote
site. This added feature greatly expands the capability of your
monitoring abilities.
All-in-One Network Camera
The camera's built-in web server enables you
to monitor live images and control cameras on any PC running a standard
web browser without having to install any additional software. To begin
monitoring your location, you simply connect the camera to a network,
and you can immediately access the remote images on your networked PC.
Network Security Features
To enhance your monitoring options, the Sony
SNC-M1 allows up to 20 simultaneous users (20 in JPEG mode and 10 in
MPEG-4 mode) to monitor the images remotely. And when an alarm is
triggered by the motion detection function (in MPEG-4 mode), a preset
message can be sent to up to three e-mail addresses. This gives you the
confidence of knowing that even when you're not viewing the images from
your home directly, your home is still being closely monitored.
User-Friendly Controls and Flexible Installation
With the SNC-M1, Sony
has made home monitoring as easy as possible, thanks to a user-friendly
graphical user interface (GUI) on the PC monitor. In addition, the GUI
background can be customized according to your preferences. Whether you
mount the camera on a wall, a ceiling, or on your desktop using the
supplied camera stand, you'll be assured of peace of mind any time of
day or night.
