SNC-RX550N User Guide SNC-RX550N Accessories

Sony introduces a new addition to its Network Camera Lineup, the SNC-RX550 Network Dome Camera, which combines the latest image processing technology to provide multiple compression formats and advanced functionality with a high-speed PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) capability.

Slip rings on the camera allow a full pan of 360 degrees, allowing users to monitor almost anywhere surrounding the camera using this single unit. In addition, equipped with a powerful 26x optical zoom, the camera allows users to zoom in on small or distant objects with exceptional clarity. Designed for 24/7 operation, the SNC-RX550 incorporates a Day/Night function, providing clear images even in 0 lx*1 lighting conditions. And using advanced image processing technology, the camera provides three compression formats; JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264,
† capabilities include dual encoding to allow simultaneous streaming in JPEG and MPEG-4, as well as high frame rates of 30 fps in both JPEG and MPEG-4.

Combining other intelligent features, such as Intelligent Motion Detection and Intelligent Object Detection into its stylish body, the SNC-RX550 is the right choice for a wide variety of surveillance and monitoring applications.

Features

• 360-degree Endless Pan/Tilt/Zoom Capability: The SNC-RX550N has high speed 360 degree endless panning capability and a tilt range of 90 degree.
• 26X optical zoom (312X with digital zoom)
• High Quality Images and High Sensitivity: Employing the latest 1/4 type Exwave HAD CCD for exceptional picture quality and with a minimum illumination level of 1.0 lx at F1.6, the camera captures high-contrast images even in low-light conditions.
• Selectable JPEG, MPEG4 and H.264 Compression Formats
• High Frame Rate: Maximum frame rate of 30fps in VGA (640 x 480) in both MPEG4 and JPEG formats.
• Dual Codec (Dual Streaming) Capability: The SNC-RX550N is equipped with dual encoding capability that enables the camera to generate both MPEG4 and JPEG images simultaneously.
• Image Stabilizer: Minimizes the appearance of shaky images caused by low-frequency vibration so that stable and sharp images are provided.
• Day/Night Function: Provides optimized sensitivity in both day and night environments.
• Anti-tampering Function: Incorporating a digital signature technology using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), the SNC-RX550N allows users to verify the origin of images and helps prevent tampering.
• Intelligent Alarm Function: Intelligent Motion Detection-Unlike conventional motion detection which typically detects luminance level differences, the SNC-RX550N utilizes the last 15 frames to calculate motion detection information.
• Intelligent Alarm Function: Intelligent Object Detection-The SNC-RX550N can detect objects that have been left in one place for a specified duration.
