FEATURES
360-degree Endless Pan/Tilt/Zoom
Capability
The SNC-RX550 has a high-speed 360° endless
panning (or rotation) capability and a tilt range of
90°, which allows users to precisely capture almost
any object surrounding the camera. Also, with its
powerful 26x optical zoom (312x with digital zoom),
users can zoom in on small or distant objects with
exceptional clarity.
High-Quality Images and
High-Sensitivity
Employing the latest 1/4-type Exwave HAD
the SNC-RX550 delivers exceptional picture quality
for your remote monitoring applications. And with a
minimum illumination level of 1.0 lx at F 1.6 in color,
the camera captures high-contrast images even in
low-light conditions.

Selectable JPEG, MPEG-4,
H.264 Compression Formats
*4
The SNC-RX550 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
is selectable. The image size can be selected from
three modes to meet your network environment and
application requirements.
H.264 compressed video cannot be viewed using a
*4
browser. This function will be available with a software
upgrade in the future.
High Frame Rate
The SNC-RX550 supports a maximum frame rate of
30 fps when the image size is VGA (640 x 480) in
both MPEG-4 and JPEG modes, producing clear and
smooth-moving images. The frame rate can be set
to meet your network environment and system
requirements.
