Dual Encoding Capability

The SNC-RZ50N 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.

Image Stabilizer

The image stabilizer function of the SNC-RZ50N
minimizes 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.

"Day/Night" Function

The SNC-RZ50N offers a "Day/Night" function to
provide optimized 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
0 lx means absence of visible light to the naked eye.

Alarm Functions

Intelligent Motion Detection
The SNC-RZ50N 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-RZ50N utilizes the last 15 frames
to perform motion analysis, and to trigger the
alarm. This helps to prevent unwanted noise
components from accidentally triggering an alarm,
providing a more robust detection method, thus
reducing the number of false alarms.
MPEG-4
Intelligent Object Detection
The SNC-RZ50N 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.
*5 The Intelligent Object Detection function and Intelligent
Motion Detection function cannot be used simultaneously.
Sensor IN/Alarm OUT ports
Equipped with two sensor inputs, the SNC-RZ50N
can receive triggers from external sensors. Also,
two alarm outputs can be used to trigger other
devices to perform a variety of actions.
Pre-/Post-Alarm Image Storage
The SNC-RZ50N is capable of storing both
pre-and post-alarm images on removable media
when an alarm is triggered.
Image Transfer Using FTP/SMTP
All of the pre-/post-alarm images stored in the
SNC-RZ50N 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.
*6 All images transferred using SMTP are in JPEG format.
