With its IP CCTV network functionality, superb picture quality, and sophisticated features, the Sony SNC-Z20P netwoek camera is the right choice for your networked monitoring applications
![]() |
The SNC-Z20P incorporates a highly sensitive 1/4 type CCD with Exwave HAD™ technology for superb picture quality. Images are compressed using the JPEG compression format for efficient distribution over a network. |
Equipped with an auto-focus 18x optical-zoom lens, this camera can zoom in on a small or distant object with exceptional clarity. The frame rate can be set as high as 25 fps1 at VGA resolution to reproduce very smooth-moving images. 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 Monitoring Software (which belongs to the RealShot Manager Software line-up). The SNC-Z20P also has sophisticated features such as Day/Night, Slow Shutter, and Activity Detection functions for further convenience in monitoring operations.
High Picture Quality and High Zoom Ratio
The SNC-Z20P incorporates a 1/4 type CCD with Exwave HAD technology, offering highresolution images with excellent sensitivity and achieves a horizontal resolution of 460 TV lines. The built-in auto-focus 18x optical zoom lens enables the user to obtain clear images even when enlarged. A maximum 216x zoom ratio is available when the optical zoom and 12x digital zoom are used together. To cover a wide angle of view, anoptional VCL-0637H Wide Conversion Lens can be attached.
Remote Monitoring / Control Over Networks
The SNC-Z20P is equipped with a 100Base-TX/ 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 unit without the need for additional software or plug-ins. Up to 50 users can simultaneously access, monitor, and control the images of a single SNC-Z20P camera. And, by installing the optional IMZ-RS Series Monitoring Software, up to 32 cameras can be simultaneously monitored and controlled from a single or multiple PCs. 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 assistant2 (PDA).
High Frame Rate
The SNC-Z20P offers a maximum frame rate of 25 fps1, allowing clear and smooth frame-accurate images to be viewed. The frame rate can be set to a fixed or variable frame rate, which is automatically adjusted according to the available bandwidth.
Network Security Features - IP Filtering
Using the IP-filtering feature, access to the SNC-Z20P can be restricted to one or more groups of selected users. Up to ten different groups can be established by defining an IP-address range for each group. Setting these groups restricts access to the camera to the defined IP-address range, 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 zoom control, viewing, trigger control, etc.
Selectable Image Quality and Size / Image Flip Function
The SNC-Z20P gives you the flexibility to select image quality and image size according to your network bandwidth. Employing the industry-standard JPEG-compression format, the SNC-Z20P has a selec table compression ratio between 1/5 and 1/60. Also, the image size can be selected from four modes: 736 x 544, 640 x 480, 320 x 240, and 160 x 120. Images from the camera can be electrically reversed upside down – allowing the camera to be installed in a variety of locations and positions.
Day / Night Function and Slow Shutter
The SNC-Z20P offers a Day / Night function to provide optimised sensitivity in both day and night shooting scenarios. As the scene illumination reduces and the image darkens, the infrared filter is automatically removed and the camera switches to B/W mode, achieving a minimum illumination of 0.01 lx (F1.4, 50IRE, Slow shutter OFF) – a drastic improvement from 0.7 lx minimum illumination in colour mode. In addition, the slow shutter mode provides a remarkable enhancement in sensitivity by allowing the charge accumulation period of the CCD to be extended to a maximum of 1 second.
