Overview

Features

• Remote Monitoring/Control Over Networks Using a Standard Web Browser
  The SNC-RZ30N is equipped with a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface and has a web server capability with an assignable IP address. These features coupled with the camera’s built-in software allow the user to control the camera and view live images over a network. All that is required is a PC running a standard web browser. No additional software or plug-ins are required.
• High-Speed, Quiet Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ)
  It’s easy to locate almost any position in the viewable area surrounding the SNC-RZ30N using its high-speed PTZ capability. Of all PTZ-capable network cameras, the SNC-RZ30N has one of the widest ranges in its class: a pan range of 340°, a tilt range of 115°, plus a 25x optical / 300x digital zoom capability. The full 340° pan range can be covered in 2 seconds, and the -90° to +25° tilt range can be covered in 1.5 seconds. In addition to the wide range of motion and high-speed movements, the SNC-RZ30N incorporates gearless direct-drive motors that ensure exceptionally quiet operation.
• High-Quality Image/Selectable Parameters
  The SNC-RZ30N has a number of selectable parameters that make it easy to match the quality of the image with your bandwidth requirements. For example, the SNC-RZ30N, which uses the industry-standard JPEG compression format, has a compression ratio selectable between 1/5 and 1/60. Also, with a maximum setting of 30 fps, the frame rate can either be set manually at a fixed frame rate, or at a variable frame rate based on the amount of bandwidth available. Furthermore, the resolution can be selected from a choice of 736 x 480, 640 x 480, 320 x 240, and 160 x 120. With a high-speed network connection, you can obtain high-quality video images, and with a limited bandwidth connection, you can set the parameters so that images are still very clear with no image break-up.
• Two Type II PCMCIA Expansion Slots
  Two Type II PCMCIA card slots are integrated into the SNC-RZ30N. These slots can be used to increase the storage capacity of the unit by adding either a flash memory card or an ATA Hard Disk Drive (HDD) card. IC recording media such as a Memory Stick media card with a Memory Stick/PC card adaptor can be used as well.
• Image Transfer Using FTP/SMTP
  Because the SNC-RZ30N supports both FTP and SMTP protocols, JPEG still image data can be transferred, as required, either to an FTP server or to a specified e-mail address as a JPEG attachment.
• Activity Detection/Alarm Trigger
  The SNC-RZ30N has a built-in activity detection function that can be set to trigger an alarm or a switch. For example, when there is movement in the field-of-view of the camera, the camera could set off an audible alarm or turn on a lamp. In addition to using the built-in activity detection function, the SNC-RZ30N can be configured with up to three external sensors for expanded functionality. Any or all of these sensors can be set to trigger an alarm, or to send a signal to a solenoid to perform functions such as locking a door. Other functions can also be performed such as sending the image that was captured at the time the alarm was triggered to an e-mail address or to an FTP server. Also, because the SNC-RZ30N has 8 MB of RAM designated as a buffer and a high-speed data-transfer capability of up to 30 fps, hundreds of images from before and after the alarm was triggered can be buffered in the RAM and transferred.
• Analog Composite Video Output
  The SNC-RZ30N can output an analog composite video signal via the BNC connector on the unit’s rear panel. This is an ideal feature for sending signals to a local recording device or monitor.
• RS-232C/485 Transparency Interface
  External equipment can be connected to the RS-232C/485 interface of the SNC-RZ30N, and can be controlled by a PC connected to the network on which the SNC-RZ30N resides.
• Simultaneous Access
  Up to 50 users can simultaneously access a single SNC-RZ30N to monitor images and control the camera. One of two control modes for the camera can be set by the administrator, allowing control of the unit to be shared by a number of users. One mode gives priority to the user who last attempted to control the camera, while the other mode is time-based. When this mode is set, priority is given to a user for a specified amount of time and when time expires, the next person who takes control is given priority for that same amount of time.
• Network Security Features
  • IP Filtering - User access to the SNC-RZ30N can be limited by IP filtering. Up to ten different groups can be established by defining an IP address range for each group. This allows users with IP addresses in a defined range to access the camera, while denying access to all other addresses.
  • Password Protection - User names and passwords can be assigned to allow four levels of access. Generally, the administrator has complete access/control of the camera, while the other three levels can be set to limit user privileges to functions such as PTZ control, viewing, trigger control, etc.
• Other Features
  • Direct Pointing or Vectoring - There is an alternative method of controlling the pan and tilt of the SNC-RZ30N. When this other method is selected, an on-screen simulated pad appears on the GUI (Graphical User Interface) allowing “direct pointing” or “vectoring” to control the camera.
  • “Tour” Feature - The “tour” feature allows the user to preset up to five scanning patterns with up to 16 positions in each scan. This is useful when you wish to monitor designated areas in a room.
  • Cropping Feature - The administrator can designate an area in the image to be cropped. This feature is particularly useful when you wish to monitor a specific location. In addition, it reduces the size of the image file, making the storage and transfer of images more efficient.
  • Day/Night Mode - The SNC-RZ30N has a unique day/night mode, which allows images to be viewed even in low
    light conditions.
