— 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/RZ30P 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/RZ30P
clearly demonstrating the advantages of network
cameras, Sony now explores the possibilities of remote­monitoring applications even further with the introduction
of its new network camera, the SNC-Z20.
The SNC-Z20 incorporates a highly sensitive 1/4 type CCD
with Exwave HAD
Images are compressed using the industry standard JPEG­compression 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*
resolution is just one of the many capabilities of the
SNC-Z20. Its built-in web server allows images to be
viewed and controlled from a PC running a standard web
browser or the optional Sony IMZ-RS Series Intelligent
Monitoring Software. The SNC-Z20 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-Z20 is the right
choice for network monitoring applications.

Remote Monitoring/Control Over
Networks

The SNC-Z20 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-Z20 camera. And, by installing
the optional IMZ-RS Series Intelligent
Monitoring Software, up to 32 cameras can
be simultaneously monitored and controlled
from a single PC. The images from these
cameras can also be recorded to the PC's
hard drive. In addition, images can be viewed
from a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)*

(see Fig. 2).
