| Features | Benefits: |
|---|---|
| Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Capability | The SNC-RZ50 is PTZ-capable with a pan range of 340 degrees and a tilt range of 115 degrees, enabling users to monitor a wide area. Also, with its powerful 26x optical and 12x digital (312x total) zoom, users can zoom in on small or distant objects with exceptional clarity. |
| Selectable JPEG, MPEG-4, H.264 Compression Formats*1 | The SNC-RZ50 supports three compression formats, JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264. MPEG-4 provides clear moving images efficiently over networks even with limited network bandwidth. For higher compression, when bandwidth is even more limited, H.264, which achieves two times more compression than MPEG-4, is available. If high quality still images are preferred, then the industry standard JPEG compression format can be chosen. The image size can be selected from three modes to meet your network environment and application requirements. *1 H.264 compressed video cannot be viewed using a browser. This function will be available with a software upgrade in the future. |
| 1/4-type Super HAD CCD | Employing the latest 1/4-type Super HAD CCD, the SNC-RZ50 delivers exceptional picture quality for your remote monitoring applications. And with a minimum illumination level of 2.2 lx at F 1.6 in color, the camera captures high-contrast images even in low-light conditions. |
| Dynamic Frame Integration | The SNC-RZ50 incorporates Dynamic Frame Integration technology to reproduce clear and smooth images for both still and moving objects within an image. The camera detects movement within the image and reproduces those areas in the image with minimal blurring, while areas in the image with little or no movement are displayed naturally with minimal jagged edges. This unique algorithm also takes advantage of the interlace scanning CCD, which is inherently more sensitive than progressive scan CCDs, providing clear images even under low-lighting conditions. |
| High Frame Rate | The SNC-RZ50 supports a maximum frame rate of 30 fps when the image size is VGA (640 x 480) in both MPEG-4 and JPEG modes, producing clear and smooth-moving images. The frame rate can be set to meet your network environment and system requirements. |
| Dual Encoding Capability | The SNC-RZ50 is equipped with a dual encoding capability that enables the camera to generate both MPEG-4 and JPEG images simultaneously. For example, you can set up your system to transfer MPEG-4 images over a WAN or an Internet VPN, where network bandwidth is limited, while storing high-resolution JPEG images on a server configured on the LAN. |
| Image Stabilizer | The image stabilizer function minimizes the appearance of shaky images caused by low-frequency vibration so that stable and sharp images are provided. This function is useful for outdoor surveillance and traffic monitoring applications. |
| "Day/Night" Function | The SNC-RZ50 offers a "Day/Night" function to provide optimized sensitivity in both day and night environments. As the scene darkens, the infrared cut filter is automatically replaced with a clear filter and the camera switches to B/W mode, requiring a minimum illumination of less than 0.3 lx. In this mode, the camera is also sensitive to near IR illuminators, allowing it to operate even in 0 lx*2 conditions. *2 0 lx means absence of visible light to the naked eye. |
| Intelligent Motion Detection | The SNC-RZ50 is equipped with a built-in Intelligent Motion Detection function that can trigger a variety of actions such as storing and transferring images or that can trigger an external device through its output relays. Unlike conventional motion detection schemes where the current image is compared to the previous frame, the SNC-RZ50 utilizes the last 15 frames to perform motion analysis, and to trigger the alarm. This prevents unwanted noise components from accidentally triggering an alarm, providing a more robust detection method, thus reducing the number of false alarms. |
| Intelligent Object Detection*3 | The SNC-RZ50 can detect objects that have been left in one place for a specified duration. Up to four detection areas can be designated. This feature can be useful for applications such as detecting suspicious objects left in public spaces, or for detecting stalled cars or accidents on the road. *3 The Intelligent Object Detection function and Intelligent Motion Detection function cannot be used simultaneously. |
| Sensor IN/Alarm OUT ports | Equipped with two sensor inputs, the SNC-RZ50 can receive triggers from external sensors. Also, two alarm outputs can be used to trigger other devices to perform a variety of actions. |
| Pre-/Post-Alarm Image Storage | The SNC-RZ50 is capable of storing both pre-and post-alarm images on removable media when an alarm is triggered. |
| Image Transfer Using FTP/SMTP*4 | All of the pre-/post-alarm images stored at the time of an alarm event can be transferred to an FTP server for later viewing. Also, a still image at the time of an alarm event can be sent to a designated e-mail address. *4 All images transferred using SMTP are in JPEG format. |
| Anti-tampering Function*5 | Incorporating a digital signature technology using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), the SNC-RZ50 allows users to verify the origin of images and ensure the integrity of images against tampering. This is done by creating a digital certificate for each camera manufactured and applying digital signatures in the form of metadata to all images produced by that camera; this combination assures that an image produced by a camera is unique only to that camera. *5 This function is available only with recording software that complies with the Sony digital signature scheme. |
| Simultaneous Access | Up to 20 users can simultaneously access the SNC-RZ50 and monitor images separately. |
| Multicasting Capability | The SNC-RZ50 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. |
| IP Filtering | With IP filtering, access to the SNC-RZ50 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-RZ50, enabling you to store images on removable media as required. |
| Wireless Capability | The SNC-RZ50 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. |
| 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 | The SNC-RZ50 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 center the selected area in the monitor. |
| Compact and Stylish Design With Rear Cover | The SNC-RZ50 incorporates Dynamic Frame Integration technology to reproduce clear and smooth images for both still and moving objects within an image. The camera detects movement within the image and reproduces those areas in the image with minimal blurring, while areas in the image with little or no movement are displayed naturally with minimal jugged edges. This unique algorithm also takes advantage of the interlace scanning CCD, which is inherently more sensitive than progressive scan CCDs, providing clear images even under low-lighting conditions. |
| Flexible Installation | The SNC-RZ50 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 analog output as well as the browser view. |
| Analog Composite Video Output | The SNC-RZ50 can output an analog 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. |
| Transparency Function | The SNC-RZ50 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-RZ50 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. |
