Sony's New Fixed IP Network
Color Camera SNC-Z20*
— Making the Remote
Possibilities Endless
With a variety of network-ready products, Sony is leading
the way into the new world of network-based surveillance
and monitoring applications. In 2002, Sony introduced the
SNC-RZ30N/RZ30P Pan/Tilt/Zoom IP camera, offering the
flexibility to view scenes from anywhere across the globe
over a standard IP network. With the SNC-RZ30N/RZ30P
clearly demonstrating the advantages of network
cameras, Sony now explores the possibilities of remote-
monitoring applications even further with the introduction
of its new network camera, the SNC-Z20.
The SNC-Z20 incorporates a highly sensitive 1/4 type CCD
with Exwave HAD TM technology for superb picture quality.
Images are compressed using the industry standard JPEG-
compression format for efficient distribution over a
network. Equipped with an auto-focus 18x optical zoom
lens, this camera can zoom in on small or distant objects
with exceptional clarity. Frame rates of 30
resolution is just one of the many capabilities of the
SNC-Z20. 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 Intelligent
Monitoring Software. The SNC-Z20 also offers a variety
of other sophisticated features such as Day/Night mode,
Slow Shutter, and Activity Detection functions, ideal for
remote monitoring operations.
With its network functionality, superb picture quality, and
sophisticated features, the Sony SNC-Z20 is the right
choice for network monitoring applications.

(see Fig. 1). Up to 50 simultaneous users can
access, monitor, and control the images of a
single SNC-Z20 camera. And, by installing
the optional IMZ-RS Series Intelligent
