You can monitor a high-quality live image from the 
camera using the Web browser on a computer connected 
to a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network. The 
maximum frame rate is 30 fps for SNC-RZ50N and 25 
fps for SNC-RZ50P.
Up to 20 users can view an image from one camera at the 
same time.
The camera supports JPEG and MPEG4 video 
compression (video codecs) and can operate in either the 
“Single codec” or “Dual codec” mode. The “Single 
codec” mode allows monitoring in one of the two video 
codecs, and the “Dual codec” mode allows monitoring 
in JPEG and MPEG4 simultaneously.

The camera is provided with a high-speed (300° 
rotation/second) pan/tilt mechanism, which allows 
–170° to +170° panning and –90° to +25° tilting. The 
camera is also provided with a high-magnification zoom 
lens with optical zoom of 26 magnifications and digital 
zoom of 12 magnifications, for a total of 312 
magnifications.

Inserting the optional SNCA-CFW1 wireless card into 
the CF card slot or PC card slot enables you to transmit 
images from the camera via wireless LAN (802.11b).

If you use the CF card slot, insert the Sony wireless card 
SNCA-CFW1 (optional) in it. If you use the PC card 
slot, use with a commercially available Compact Flash 
Type II-PCMCIA converting adaptor.

You can send a still image from the camera as an e-mail 
or FTP server, attachment by setting off a trigger using 
an external sensor input, built-in object detection 
function or manual trigger button. You can also send still 
images sequentially for a determined period before and 
after the trigger to an FTP server, or send them 
periodically.

You can save up to 16 preset positions (pan, tilt and 
zoom positions) of the camera, and up to 5 tour 
programs composed from the preset positions. You can 
activate the preset positions by synchronizing them with 
an external sensor input or built-in object detection 
function.

The camera is provided an intelligent object detection 
function to watch images. This function combines 
“Moving object detection” that detects moving objects 
in camera images with “Unattended object detection” 
that detects objects that do not move for a specified 
period in camera images.

The camera is equipped with two sets of alarm outputs. 
You can use the alarms to control peripheral devices by 
synchronizing them with the external sensor inputs, 
built-in object detection function, manual trigger button, 
Day/Night function or timer.

Clicking on a desired point in the viewer allows you to 
pan and tilt the camera in the direction of that point. 
Dragging a desired area in the viewer allows you to 
zoom in the dragged area as well as pan and tilt the 
camera.

• You should keep in mind that the images or audio 

you are monitoring may be protected by privacy 
and other legal rights, and the responsibility for 
making sure you are complying with applicable 
laws is yours alone.

• Access to the images and audio is protected only 

by a user name and the password you set up. No 
further authentication is provided nor should you 
presume that any other protective filtering is done 
by the service. Since the service is Internet-based, 
there is a risk that the image or audio you are 
monitoring can be viewed or used by a third-party 
via the network.
