Sony Video Network Stations ease upgrade to IP-network monitoringJune 9, 2022by -- Sony of Canada Ltd., Canada's leading electronicand computer products solutions provider for consumers and business, today enhanced its line of professional network cameras with the introduction of the SNT-V501/V504 Series Video Network Stations. The stations are designed to enable analog robotic video cameras to be remotely monitored and controlled over IP (Internet Protocol)-networks without disrupting existing infrastructure. The SNT-V501/V504 Series allows existing analog camera installations to be converted to IP-based monitoring systems. The Video Network Station encodes analog video signals into the digital domain and translates command codes to cameras. The built-in web server allows a personal computer running a standard web browser to monitor images and control cameras without the need for additional software or plug-ins. "The arrival of the SNT-V501/V504 Series makes the transition to network monitoring a simple step for those with analog systems," said Carlos Varela, Product Manager, Surveillance Products, Broadcast & Communication Solutions Group, Sony of Canada Ltd. "Before, making such a move was more of a migration than a simple upgrade. This builds on what's in place, enhances functionality, and extends return of investment on existing equipment." Up to 50 users can have simultaneous access to monitor high quality 640 X 480 pixels resolution VGA (video graphics array) images at up to 30 frames per second. Since the digital interface operates alongside an analog pass-through, the IP-network system can be added without interrupting the operation of the analog setup. The SNT-V501 has a single analog composite video input, and the SNT-V504 can accept up to four analog composite video inputs. The SNT-V501/V504 Series is equipped with a built-in activity-detection function, which can be set to respond to user-defined alarm events. An additional alarm-input port can be connected to an external sensor to trigger the unit. Through a built-in 8-MB buffer, or by utilizing a Memory Stick(R) media via the PCMCIA slot, the user can store hundreds of pre-alarm and post-alarm still images whenever an alarm event triggers the activity-detection function, the alarm-input port, or both. Upon alarm initiation, the SNT-V501/SNT-V504's FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client function can upload 'alarm' images to an FTP server. The SNT-V501/V504 Series Video Network Stations include an industry- standard PCMCIA Type II slot to increase memory or to add wireless capabilities with an IEEE 802.11b-compliant wireless PC card. A wide assortment of flash memory, including ATA hard disk drives and IC recording media such as Memory Stick(R) media can be used. An RS-232C/485 serial interface allows remote operation of the Pan/Tilt/Zoom and camera settings of Sony EVI-D100/EVI-D70 cameras, as well as operation of the Sony SSC-DC590 Series. A transparency function is also available so external equipment can be connected, monitored and controlled. The Sony SNT-V501 Video Network Station will be available by the end of June. The SNT-V504 will be available in August. Request For More Information Forward this release to a friend Back to list
