Home security and peace of mind don't come any easier than this. The
Sony SNC-M3W Pan/Tilt IP Wireless Network Camera with Audio is an
all-in-one mini network color video camera that allows you to monitor
any room in your home wirelessly from the convenience of your PC's
browser. And with the added pan/tilt feature, you won't need to install
additional cameras to monitor those larger rooms or areas in your home.
With an IP server and web page embedded in the camera itself, you don't
need any special software, and a simple wizard makes set-up a breeze.

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-M3W 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-M3W
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.
The Convenience of Wireless Remote Operation The SNC-M3W supports the
IEEE 802.11b standard for wireless operation. This means that you can
monitor those difficult and "out of the way" rooms and hallways without
the need for dedicated (and often expensive) wiring. By going wireless,
you can greatly expand your monitoring activities without adding to your
budget.
Pan/Tilt Capability With pan and tilt capability, the SNC-M3W
significantly increases the monitoring area for each camera that you set
up. This feature is ideal for larger rooms or areas that require wider
viewing ranges. The camera's 120-degree pan range (+60 to -60 degrees)
and 70-degree tilt range (+10 to -60 degrees), means that you won't need
extra cameras to monitor those larger spaces in your home.
Network Security Features
To enhance your monitoring options, the Sony
SNC-M3W 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-M3W,
Sony has made monitoring your home as easy as possible. Camera settings,
controls and monitoring are easy 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, ceiling, or on your desktop using the supplied camera
stand, you'll be assured of peace of mind any time of day or night.
