With its feature rich and compact design, the SNC-RZ50P PTZ Camera is ideal for a wide range of monitoring applications
The SNC-RZ50P is the latest in a series of Sony network cameras that incorporates advanced image processing technology to provide three compression formats: JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264. Users can choose any of the three compression formats to match the network environment and application requirements. Furthermore, with a newly-developed "Dual Encoding Capability", the camera allows for simultaneous streaming in JPEG and MPEG-4, further expanding monitoring applications. In addition to its Pan/Tilt capability, the SNC-RZ50P is equipped with a powerful 26x optical zoom, allowing users to zoom in on small or distant objects with exceptional clarity. And, because the camera incorporates a Day/Night function, it provides clear images in low-light environments and even in 0 lx*1 lighting conditions. Combining other convenient features, such as Intelligent Motion Detection, Intelligent Object Detection, Voice Alert, Built-in Compact Flash and PC card slots, and an Image Flip function, the SNC-RZ50P can be used for a wide variety of monitoring applications in location such as schools, shopping malls, public space and more.
*lx means absence of visible light to the naked eye. A separate IR illuminator, available through third party vendors, is required for the camera to operate in 0 lx conditions.

Features

(Fig. 1, 2) The SNC-RZ50P is PTZ-capable with a pan range of 340 and a tilt range of 115, enabling users to monitor a wide area. Also, with its powerful 26x optical and 12x digital (312x total) zoom, users can zoom in on small or distant objects with exceptional clarity.
Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Capability
Selectable H.264, JPEG and MPEG-4 Compression Formats
The SNC-RZ50P supports three compression formats, JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264. MPEG-4 provides clear moving images efficiently over networks even with limited network bandwidth. For higher compression, when bandwidth is even more limited, H.264, which achieves two times more compression than MPEG-4, is available. If high quality still images are preferred, then the industry standard JPEG compression format can be chosen. The image size can be selected from three modes to meet your network environment and application requirements.

1/4-type Super HAD CCD
Employing the latest 1/4-type Super HAD CCD, the SNC-RZ50P delivers exceptional picture quality for your remote monitoring applications. And, with a minimum illumination level of 2.2 lx at F 1.6 in colour, the camera captures high-contrast images even in low-light conditions.

Dynamic Frame Integration (Fig. 3)
The SNC-RZ50P incorporates Dynamic Frame Integration technology to reproduce clear and smooth images for both still and moving objects within an image. The camera detects movement within the image and reproduces those areas in the image with minimal blurring, while areas in the image with little or no movement are displayed naturally with minimal jugged edges. This unique algorithm also takes advantage of the interlace scanning CCD, which is inherently more sensitive than progressive scan CCDs, providing clear images even under low-lighting conditions.

Day/Night Function

The SNC-RZ50P offers a Day/Night function to provide optimised sensitivity in both day and night environments. As the scene darkens, the infrared cut filter is automatically replaced with a clear filter and the camera switches to B/W mode, requiring a minimum illumination of less than 0.3 lx. In this mode, the camera is also sensitive to near IR illuminators, allowing it to operate even in 0 lx*2 conditions.

Dual Encoding Capability

(Fig. 4) The SNC-RZ50P is equipped with a dual encoding capability that enables the camera to generate both MPEG-4 and JPEG images simultaneously. For example, you can set up your system to transfer MPEG-4 images over a WAN or an Internet VPN, where network bandwidth is limited, while storing high-resolution JPEG images on a server configured on the LAN.
The SNC-RZ50P is equipped with a built-in Intelligent Motion Detection function that can trigger a variety of actions such as storing and transferring images or that can trigger an external device through its output relays. Unlike conventional motion detection schemes where the current image is compared to the previous frame, the SNC-RZ50P utilises the last 15 frames to perform motion analysis and to trigger the alarm. This prevents unwanted noise components from accidentally triggering an alarm, providing a more robust detection method, thus reducing the number of false alarms.
Intelligent Object Detection*3
The SNC-RZ50P can detect objects that have been left in one place for a specified duration. Up to four detection areas can be designated. This feature can be useful for applications such as detecting suspicious objects left in public spaces, or for detecting stalled cars or accidents on the road.

Sensor in/Alarm out

Equipped with two sensor inputs, the SNC-RZ50P can receive triggers from external sensors. Two alarm outputs can also be used to trigger other devices to perform a variety of actions.

Pre-/Post-Alarm Image Storage
The SNC-RZ50P is capable of storing both pre-and post-alarm images on removable media when an alarm is triggered.

Image Stabiliser

The image stabiliser function minimises the appearance of shaky images caused by low-frequency vibration so that stable and sharp images are provided. This function is useful for outdoor surveillance and traffic monitoring applications.

All of the pre-/post-alarm images stored at the time of an alarm event can be transferred to an FTP server for later viewing. Also, a still image at the time of an alarm event can be sent to a designated e-mail address.
*4 All images transferred using SMTP are in JPEG format.
Anti-tampering Function*5
Incorporating a digital signature technology using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), the SNC-RZ50P allows users to verify the origin of images and ensure the integrity of images against tampering. This is done by creating a digital certificate for each camera manufactured and applying digital signatures in the form of metadata to all images produced by that camera; this combination assures that an image produced by a camera is unique to that camera.
*5 This function is available with a software upgrade. For more details please contact your nearest Sony dealer.

Network Features

Simultaneous Access
Up to 20 users can simultaneously access the SNC-RZ50P and monitor images separately.
part of the monitor image in the viewer will pan and tilt the camera so that the selected point is centered. Also, selecting an area on the image by holding down the left mouse button and dragging the mouse diagonally will enlarge and centre the selected area in the monitor.

Multicasting Capability

The SNC-RZ50P has a built-in multicasting capability for MPEG-4 and H.264 video. When configured with a multicast router, the unit can efficiently stream video and audio to a large number of users.
Network Security Features

IP Filtering

With IP filtering, access to the SNC-RZ50P 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.

Password Protection

User names and passwords can be assigned to allow five levels of access. The administrator has complete access/control of the cameras, while the other four levels of access can be set to limit user privileges to functions such as PTZ control, viewing and trigger control.
