Responding to the growing demand for an affordable and easy-to-use network video camera, the SNC-P1 offers a cost-effective solution for a broad range of remote monitoring applications such as retail, offices, manufacturing lines and web casting. In addition to the industry-standard JPEG compression format, the SNC-P1 utilises the efficient MPEG-4 compression format, which provides smooth video/audio streaming via ordinary broadband network environments such as DSL or CATV. And, thanks to the high compression ratio of the MPEG-4 format, the SNC-P1 can achieve a high frame rate of up to 30 fps* – even when bandwidth is limited.
With its built-in web server, images can be viewed and managed from a PC running a standard web browser. The SNC-P1 also features audio capability with a built-in microphone, external microphone input and audio line output, which significantly expands its range of applications. What's more, the SNC-P1 network video camera incorporates a variety of convenient features – including slow shutter, motion detection, pre/post-alarm function, and multicasting capability – to fully support your remote monitoring and web-casting operations. With its network functionality and a variety of convenient features, the Sony SNC-P1 makes remote monitoring easier, closer, and more affordable than ever before.
All-in-One Network Video Camera
The SNC-P1 incorporates a 1/4-type progressive scan CCD, built-in microphone, and 100Base TX/10Base-T (RJ-45) network interface in a compact and stylish body. With its built-in web server, the SNC-P1 allows users to monitor images and manage the camera on a PC running a standard web browser; no additional software is needed.
MPEG-4 Compression Format
The SNC-P1 utilises the MPEG-4 compression format that achieves high-compression ratios, allowing smooth moving images to be streamed over a wide range of bandwidths. Because of its high compression ratios, users can monitor high-quality moving images with low delay- even at low bandwidths. The transmission mode (TCP or UDP) and image size can be selected according to the network environment and application requirements. Image size can be selected from six modes: 640 x 480, 480 x 360, 384 x 288, 320 x 240, 256 x 192, and 160 x 120. What's more, the SNC-P1 supports variable bit rate of up to 2 Mbps, providing great quality images.
JPEG Compression Format
In addition to the MPEG-4 compression format, the SNC-P1 employs the industry-standard JPEG compression format. The image size can be selected from six modes: 640 x 480, 480 x 360, 384 x 288, 320 x 240, 256 x 192 and 160 x 120.
High Frame Rate
The SNC-P1 produces images with a maximum frame rate of 30 fps at 320 x 240 size in both MPEG 4 and JPEG modes, allowing clear and smooth images to be viewed. The frame rate can be fixed or set to a variable rate that automatically adjusts to the available bandwidth.
Audio Monitoring
Incorporating a built-in microphone and an external microphone input, the SNC-P1 allows users to also monitor audio. Used with an external microphone, the SNC-P1 is capable of picking up sound from distant objects clearly. The unit is also equipped with an audio line output for active speakers; users can send an alert or make an announcement at the camera site through speakers. The audio quality of this product significantly expands the possibility of remote monitoring applications.
