This allows a PC running a standard web browser to monitor its live images and control the camera without the need for additional software or plug-ins. Up to 50 simultaneous users can access, monitor, and control the images of a single SNC-Z20N camera. In addition, images can be viewed from a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
The SNC-Z20N produces images with a maximum frame rate of 30 fps, allowing for clear and smooth frame accurate images to be viewed. The frame rate can be set to a fixed or variable frame rate, which is automatically adjusted according to the available bandwidth.
High Picture Quality and High Zoom Ratio
The SNC-Z20N incorporates a 1/4 type CCD with Exwave HAD technology that produces high resolution images with excellent sensitivity. The SNC-Z20N achieves a horizontal resolution of 470 TV lines. Its built in auto focus 18x optical zoom lens enables the user to obtain clear images over long distances. A maximum 216x zoom ratio is available when the optical zoom and 12x digital zoom are used together.
Selectable Image Quality and Size/Image Flip Function
The SNC-Z20N provides the flexibility to select image quality and image size according to network bandwidth. Employing the industry standard JPEG compression format, the SNC-Z20N has a selectable compression ratios between 1/5 and 1/60. Also, the image size can be selected from four modes: 736 x 480, 640 x 480, 320 x 240, and 160 x 120. Images from the camera can be electronically inverted including the analog video output, allowing the camera to be installed in a variety of locations and positions.
Activity Detection/Alarm Trigger

If a change in luminance level is detected in the field of view, an alarm is automatically triggered. In addition, the SNC-Z20N comes with an alarm input port to receive a trigger from an external sensor.
The pre and post alarm images stored at the time of an alarm event can be transferred to an FTP server, and the still image can also be sent to a specified e-mail address as a JPEG attachment, enabling the user to see what happened when an alarm occurred.
