Overview
Overview
Features
Four cameras can be connected at the
same time
The SNT-V704 is equipped with four video input
connectors so that up to four cameras can be connected
to at the same time. And all pictures of the connected
cameras can be displayed at the same time on the screen
divided into 4.
for the Sony video cameras that can be controlled by this
unit.
Image recording on the built-in memory
or USB flash memory (commercially
available)
You can record still images from the camera(s) onto this
unit’s built-in memory (about 32 MB) or recommended
USB flash memory connected to the USB connector.
You can record a still image at the moment when a
trigger by the external sensor input(s), built-in activity
detection function or manual trigger button occurs, or
still images sequentially for a determined period before
and after the trigger. Periodic recording of still images
is also possible.
Monitoring over a network
This unit allows monitoring of live images and sound
from the connected camera using a Web browser on a
computer.
MPEG4 and MotionJPEG video
compression formats
Adoption of two video compression formats, MPEG4
and MotionJPEG, allows smooth streaming of motion
pictures with 30 fps (FULL D1 size).
Audio transmission
This unit is equipped with a plug-in-power microphone
input (rated voltage: 5 V DC, minijack, monaural) and
line input (minijack, monaural × 2ch), which allow
audio transmission by connecting a commercially
available microphone and an audio amplifier.
External speaker system connectable

for each of the connected cameras. As the masking
portions can be enlarged, reduced or moved according to
the camera’s PTZ function, the same portions can
always be hidden. This masking feature is available only
Image transmission using an E-mail or
FTP server
You can send a still image from this unit as an
attachment of an E-mail or to an FTP server, at the
moment when a trigger by the external sensor input,
built-in activity detection function or manual trigger
button occurs. You can also send still images
sequentially for a determined period before and after the
trigger to an FTP server, or send them periodically.
If you use the FTP client software of the computer, you
can also search for and receive the still image recorded
in the built-in memory or USB flash memory connected
to the USB connector of this unit.
Preset positions and Tour programs
You can save up to 16 preset positions (pan, tilt and
zoom positions) and activate up to 5 patterns of tour
programs (programing the automatic actions for pan, tilt
and zoom). You can activate the preset positions by
synchronizing with the external sensor input or built-in
activity detection function.
Alarm output
This unit is equipped with four sets of alarm outputs.
You can use them to control peripheral devices by
synchronizing with the external sensor input(s), built-in
activity detection function, manual trigger button, Day/
Night function or timer.

Preparation
Assigning the IP Address to the Unit
To connect this unit to a network, you need to assign a
new IP address to the unit.
You can assign an IP address in two ways:
• Using the setup program stored in the supplied CDROM (see this page)
• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands (see page 65)
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using the supplied setup program and how to
configure the network.
Before starting, connect the unit to a local network,
referring to “Connecting to a Computer or a Network”
(see page 10).
Consult the administrator of the network about the
assigned IP address.
Note
set up correctly. Delete the downloaded file, and
click the Setup icon again.
4
Install the IP Setup Program on your computer
using the wizard.
If the Software License Agreement is displayed,
read it carefully and click Accept to continue with
the installation.
5
Start the IP Setup Program.
The program detects the video network station
SNT-V704 connected to the local network and lists
them on the Network tab window.
• The Setup Program may not operate correctly if you
use a personal firewall or antivirus software in your
computer. In that case, disable the software or assign
an IP address to the camera using another method. For
example, see “Assigning the IP Address to the Unit
Using ARP Commands” on page 65
• It you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2, disable
the Windows Firewall function. Otherwise the IP
Setup Program will not operate correctly.
To disable Windows Firewall, operate as follows:
1 Open Windows Firewall from Control Panel.
With the category display, you can find Windows
Firewall in Security Center.
2 Select Off, and click OK.
Assigning an IP address using the Setup Program
1
Insert the supplied CD-ROM disc into your CDROM drive.
After a short time a window will open displaying
the files on the CD-ROM.
2
Click the Setup icon of IP Setup Program.
The “File Download” dialog opens.
6
Click on the SNT-V704 you want to assign a new IP
address in the list.
The network settings for the selected SNT-V704 are
displayed.
7
Set the IP address.
To obtain the IP address automatically from a
DHCP server:
Select Obtain an IP address automatically.
3
Click Open.
Note
If you click “Save this program to disk” on the “File
Download” dialog, you will not be able to perform
12
Assigning the IP Address to the Unit
The IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway
are assigned automatically.
To specify the IP address manually:
Select Use the following IP address, and type the
IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway in the
relevant boxes.
Note
You cannot change the Administrator name and

image.
See “Operating the Camera from the Monitor Image
(Only when the BRC-300, the EVI-D100 or the EVID70 is connected with VISCA cable)” on page 23.
Notes
• When cables are connected to Video out 1 to 4
connectors (BNC type), the 75 ohms terminal is
automatically turned to off inside the camera. This is
why the video image turns whitish if 75 ohms is not
terminated in the connected equipment. This is not a
malfunction of the camera. When connecting to the
video out terminals, be sure to terminate 75 ohms in
the connected equipment.
• This camera receives the video signal in 720 × 480
(NTSC)/720 × 576 (PAL) format. Some cameras
output the video signal in a smaller size than 720 × 480
(NTSC)/720 × 576 (PAL). In this case, the image in
the monitor image section has a black border.
If you operate Pan, Tilt, or Zoom on with this image,
the black area is also affected. (See “Operating the
Camera from the Monitor Image (Only when the
BRC-300, the EVI-D100 or the EVI-D70 is connected

For the PAL cameras:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, Fastest
The numbers indicate “FPS” (the number of frames
transmitted per second).
With Fastest, the camera transmits the maximum
number of frames possible for the connected line. The
maximum frame rate is 30 FPS (NTSC) or 25 FPS
(PAL).
Notes
• When the monitor image is set to Quad or the output
format of the camera image is set to MPEG4
(page 36), the Frame rate box is not displayed.
