The SNT-V501/V504 are compact, high- performance Video Network Stations that enable video cameras to be remotely monitored and controlled 1 over the network. The SNT-V501 accepts one video input, while up to four video inputs are supported by the SNT-V504, providing greater expandability of your IP-based monitoring systems.

The SNT-V501/V504 stations provide JPEG images at a high-refresh rate of 30 fps (NTSC), so you can easily monitor smooth, near-motion images using a standard web browser. Support for a PCMCIA card slot, plus a number of convenient features such as alarm, image-transfer, and network security functions, enable scalable and effective monitoring operation.

Converting existing analog cameras to an IP-based monitoring system, the SNT-V501/V504 stations are ideal solutions for today's network monitoring demands.

FEATURES

Network Monitoring System

The SNT-V501/V504 stations support TCP/IP protocol, enabling cameras to be remotely monitored and controlled over LAN (Local Area Networks) and WAN (Wide Area Networks). Equipped with a built-in web server, the SNT-V501/V504 stations allow a PC running a standard web browser to monitor live images and to control certain cameras without the need for additional software or plug-ins. Up to 50 users can simultaneously monitor camera images. Also, smooth, near-motion images are realized with up to 30 fps (NTSC) for VGA image quality.

Image Viewer (SNT-V501)

Multiple Camera Operation over LAN (SNT-V504)

The SNT-V504 accepts four video inputs. From a remote PC terminal, signals from the SNT-V504 unit can be monitored using a variety of screen combinations, including two types of four-division split-screens and single screen. Display patterns and image sizes are easily switched by simply clicking on the appropriate icon, providing efficient and flexible monitoring*.

*Every user monitoring images can switch the display pattern and image size. When one user changes the display pattern and/or images size, those changes will be reflected on the other user displays.

Compact and Lightweight Design

With compact dimensions of just 128 x 40 x 150 mm (5 1/8 x 1 5/8 x 6 inches) and a light weight of only 650 g (1 lb 7 oz) (SNT-V501)/ 710 g (1 lb 9 oz) (SNT-V504), these Video Network Stations are suitable for restricted space or rack installation.

PCMCIA Type II Slot*

Memory card - You can increase the storage capacity of the SNT-V501/V504 stations by adding either a flash memory card or an ATA Hard Disk Drive (HDD) card. IC recording media such as a Memory StickTM media card with a Memory Stick/PC card adaptor can also be used.

Wireless card - The SNT-V501/V504 stations are compatible with certain IEEE 802.11b-compliant wireless PC cards.

*Please contact your local Sony office or authorized dealer for the memory and the wireless cards compatible with the SNT-V501/V504.

Alarm Function

The SNT-V501/V504 are equipped with a built-in, activity-detection function that can be set to generate an alarm through its alarm-output ports. In addition, with a sensor-input port that can receive a trigger from an external sensor and a built-in 8-MB buffer, the SNT-V501/V504 stations can store hundreds of pre-alarm and post-alarm still images at the time an alarm is triggered -whether from the activity-detection function, the alarm-input port, or both. Pre-/post- alarm images can then be transferred to an FTP server.

RS-232C/485 Interface

Camera control with a serial interface -

The SNT-V501/V504 stations allow control of the Pan/Tilt/Zoom and camera settings of Sony EVI-D100/EVI-D70 cameras, and control of the Sony SSC-DC590 Series cameras.

Transparent function -

The SNT-V501/V504 stations have a transparent function via the RS-232C/485 interface. External equipment can be connected and controlled by a PC connected to the network.

Network Security Feature

User access to video cameras via the SNT-V501/V504 stations can be limited by IP filtering. Up to ten different groups can be established by defining an IP address for each group. Additionally, user names and passwords can be assigned to allow four levels of access.

OTHER FEATURES

???Tour??? Feature -

This allows the user to preset up to five scanning patterns with up to 16 positions in each scan.

???Area setting??? Feature -

This allows the administrator to design an area within the image to be cropped, which is particularly useful when you wish to monitor a specific location.

Viewing from a PDA

Images can be viewed from a PDA running Microsoft Pocket PC?? 2003.*

* The Jeode plug-in Ver. 1.9.1 is required for viewing images.
