— Making the Remote
Possibilities Endless

With a variety of network-ready products, Sony is leading
the way into the new world of network-based surveillance
and monitoring applications. In 2002, Sony introduced the
SNC-RZ30N Pan/Tilt/Zoom IP camera, offering the flexibility
to view scenes from anywhere across the globe over a
standard IP network. With the SNC-RZ30N clearly
demonstrating the advantages of network cameras, Sony
now explores the possibilities of remote-monitoring
applications even further with the introduction of its new
fixed network camera, the SNC-Z20N.

The SNC-Z20N incorporates a highly sensitive 1/4 type
CCD with Exwave HAD

technology for superb picture
quality. Images are compressed using the industry
standard JPEG-compression format for efficient
distribution over a network. Equipped with an auto-focus
18x optical zoom lens, this camera can zoom in on small
or distant objects with exceptional clarity. Frame rates of
30 fps

at VGA resolution is just one of the many
capabilities of the SNC-Z20N. Its built-in web server
allows images to be viewed and controlled from a PC
running a standard web browser. The SNC-Z20N also
offers a variety of other sophisticated features such as
Day/Night mode, Slow Shutter, and Activity Detection
functions, ideal for remote monitoring operations.

With its network functionality, superb picture quality, and
sophisticated features, the Sony SNC-Z20N is the right
choice for network monitoring applications.

and network bandwidth are required.

Remote Monitoring/Control Over
Networks

The SNC-Z20N is equipped with a 100Base­TX/10Base-T (RJ-45) interface and a built-in
web server. This allows a PC running a
standard web browser to monitor its live
images and control the camera without the
need for additional software or plug-ins

(see Fig. 1). Up to 50 simultaneous users can

access, monitor, and control the images of a
single SNC-Z20N camera. In addition, images
can be viewed from a Personal Digital
