Features
"Day/Night" Function
The SNC-CS50 offers a "Day/Night" function to provide optimized sensitivity in both day and night environments. As the scene darkens, the infrared cut filter is automatically replaced with a clear filter and the camera switches to B/W mode, achieving a minimum illumination of less than 0.04 lx.
Advanced Video Motion Detection
The SNC-CS50 is equipped with a built-in advanced video motion detection function that can trigger a variety of actions such as storing and transferring images or that can trigger an external device through its output relays. Unlike with conventional motion detection, the last 15 frames are used to calculate motion detection information and to trigger the alarm when motion is detected. This prevents unwanted noise components from accidentally triggering an alarm, providing a more robust detection method.
Unattended Object Detection
The SNC-CS50 can detect objects that have been left in one place for a specified duration. Up to four detection areas can be specified. This feature can be useful for applications such as detecting suspicious objects in public spaces or for detecting illegally parked cars.
Sensor IN/Alarm OUT Ports
Equipped with two sensor inputs, the camera can receive triggers from external sensors. Also, two alarm (relay) outputs can be used to trigger other devices to perform a variety of actions.
Pre-/Post-Alarm Image Storage
With an ATA memory card in a PC card slot, the SNC-CS50 can store several seconds of pre- and post-alarm images when the motion and unattended object detection systems, or the sensor inputs trigger an alarm.
Image Transfer Using FTP/SMTP
All of the pre-/post-alarm images stored at the time of an alarm event can be transferred to a FTP server for later viewing*. Also, a still image at the time of an alarm event can be sent to a designated e-mail address. * All images transferred using SMTP are in JPEG format.
Simultaneous Access
Up to 20 users can simultaneously access the SNC-CS50 and monitor images separately.

Benefits
High-Quality Images
Employing the latest 1/3-type CCD with SuperExwave technology, the SNC-CS50 delivers exceptional picture quality for your remote monitoring applications. Also, because the minimum illumination level is 0.4 lx at F 0.95 in colour, the camera operates extremely well even in low-light conditions.
Selectable JPEG, MPEG-4, H.264 Compression Formats
The SNC-CS50 supports three compression formats, JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264. MPEG-4 provides clear moving images efficiently over networks even with limited network bandwidth. For higher compression, when bandwidth is even more limited, H.264, which achieves two times more compression than MPEG-4, is available.
High Frame Rate
The SNC-CS50 supports a maximum frame rate of 30 fps when the image size is VGA (640 x 480) in both MPEG-4 and JPEG modes, producing clear and smooth-moving images. The frame rate can also be set to a variable rate that automatically adjusts to the available bandwidth according to the system requirements.
Slim and Stylish Design With Front and Rear Covers
The SNC-CS50 comes equipped with a stylish front lens cover and a convenient rear panel cover for cable management, the camera is less likely to detract from the natural decor of the room in which it is installed.
Dual Encoding Capability
The SNC-CS50 is equipped with a dual encoding capability that enables the camera to generate both MPEG-4 and JPEG images simultaneously. For example, you can set up your system to transfer MPEG-4 images over a WAN or an Internet VPN, where network bandwidth is limited, while storing high-resolution JPEG images on a local storage device configured on the LAN.
Vari-Focal Lens
The SNC-CS50 comes equipped with a CS-mount, IR compensated vari-focal lens with an auto iris function that covers the frequently used horizontal viewing angle of 94 to 35 degrees. Because the maximum aperture is F 0.95, the lens can provide remarkable image quality even in low-light conditions.
