Network Features
Simultaneous Access
Up to 20 users can simultaneously access the SNC-RZ50P
and monitor images separately.
Multicasting Capability
The SNC-RZ50P has a built-in multicasting capability for
MPEG-4 and H.264 video. When configured with a
multicast router, the unit can efficiently stream video and
audio to a large number of users.
Network Security Features
IP Filtering
With IP filtering, access to the SNC-RZ50P can be
restricted to one or more groups of selected users. Up to
ten different groups can be established by defining an IP
address range for each group.
Password Protection
User names and passwords can be assigned to allow
five levels of access. The administrator has complete
access/control of the cameras, while the other four levels
of access can be set to limit user privileges to functions
such as PTZ control, viewing and trigger control.
Compact Flash™ Type Card Slot
and PC Card Slot
Both Compact Flash and PC card slots are integrated
into the SNC-RZ50P, enabling you to store images on
removable media as required.
Wireless Capability
The SNC-RZ50P supports the IEEE802.11b compliant
SNCA-CFW1 Wireless LAN Card. In addition, the optional
SNCA-AN1 External Antenna can be used to transmit
wireless signals over a longer distance. A wireless system
configuration can save you time and money during
installation.
Audio Capability
Bi-Directional Audio
Users can connect an external microphone to the unit
and pickup audio from a preferred location. This unit is
also equipped with a speaker output, enabling users to
send an alert or make an announcement, significantly
expanding the possibilities for remote monitoring
applications.
Voice Alert
The Voice Alert function allows users to upload a
pre-recorded audio file that can be played back upon an
alarm trigger, or on a pre-specified time schedule.
User-Friendly GUI (Fig. 5)
The SNC-RZ50P has a user-friendly GUI accessible via a
PC running the Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
browser
software. Setup is very easy with intuitive icons and
pull-down menus. Directly pointing to and clicking on any
part of the monitor image in the viewer will pan and tilt the
camera so that the selected point is centered. Also,
selecting an area on the image by holding down the left
mouse button and dragging the mouse diagonally will
enlarge and centre the selected area in the monitor.
Compact and Stylish Design With
Rear Cover
With its compact body and a stylish rear panel cover for
cable management, the SNC-RZ50P is less likely to
detract from the natural décor of the room in which it is
installed.
Flexible Installation
The SNC-RZ50P can either be mounted to a ceiling or
placed on a desktop. Because this camera incorporates
an electronic "Image Flip" function, it displays images for
proper upright viewing in either orientation in both the
analogue output as well as the browser view.
Analogue Composite Video Output
The SNC-RZ50P can output an analogue composite video
signal via the BNC connector on the unit's rear panel.
This feature is ideal for outputting image data to a local
recording device or monitor.
RS-232C Interface
Transparency Function
The SNC-RZ50P has a transparency function available
via the RS-232C interface. For example, external equipment
connected to the camera via RS-232C can be controlled
by a PC over a network.
VISCA™ Protocol
The SNC-RZ50P can interface with external control
equipment using the Sony VISCA protocol. This configuration
allows for local control of Pan/Tilt/Zoom and for camera
settings.
