The SNC-RZ30 is combining network functionality with a Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) capability, takes remote monitoring to the next step by offering the flexibility to see almost anything within the security camera's range and field-of-view over an ordinary TCP/IP network. Images from the SNC-RZ30 can be viewed and the PTZ movement can be controlled using a PC running a standard browser without the need for additional software or plug-ins. Moreover, setup is very easy because the setup menu is also browser-based.

The SNC-RZ30 features a 25x optical zoom capability that allows a user to zoom in on small or distant objects with exceptional clarity. Image quality is extremely high because the SNC-RZ30 uses a high-resolution CCD imager. The SNC-RZ30 employs JPEG compression and can be set up to transfer these JPEG images to an FTP server or to a specified e-mail address. Also, the frame rate for this security camera can be set as high as 30 fps, which makes for very smooth moving images. The Sony SNC-RZ30 IP security camera features built-in PCMCIA card slots to further expand the unit's memory with a flash ATA card, an ATA HDD card, or a Memory Stick with adaptor, allowing you to store tens of thousands of images.

Finally, unlike most IP network cameras, the Sony SNC-RZ30 has an analog composite video output connector for outputting video to a local recorder, making it ideal for reviewing activity that might have been missed while monitoring in real time.

All of this functionality is packed into one sleek, compact, and lightweight body that can be either ceiling mounted or placed on a flat surface. The feature rich SNC-RZ30 will make your IP network camera experience an unforgettable one.
