Sony SNC-RZ30N/2 - Manual (Page 6)

Password Protection
User names and passwords can be assigned to
allow four levels of access. Generally,
the administrator has complete access/control of
the camera, while the other three levels can be
set to limit user privileges to functions such as
PTZ control, viewing, trigger control, etc.
Other Features
Viewing from a PDA
Images from the SNC-RZ30 can be viewed from
a PDA running Microsoft Pocket PC
® 2002. *9
*9 The Jeode™ plug-in Ver. 1.9.1 is required for viewing
images from a PDA.
Direct Pointing or Vectoring
There is an alternative method of controlling the
pan and tilt of the SNC-RZ30. When this
alternate method is selected, an on-screen
simulated pad appears on the GUI (Graphical
User Interface) allowing "direct pointing" or
"vectoring" to control the camera.
"Tour" Feature
The "tour" feature allows the user to preset up
to five scanning patterns with up to 16 positions
in each scan. This is useful when you wish to
monitor designated areas in a room.
Cropping Feature
The administrator can designate an area in the
image to be cropped. This feature is particularly
useful when you wish to monitor a specific
location. In addition, it reduces the size of the
image file, making the storage and transfer of
images more efficient.
RS-232C/485 Interface (Transparency
Function or VISCA Protocol)
Transparency Function
The SNC-RZ30 has a transparency function
available via the RS-232C/485 interface. External
equipment can be connected and controlled by a
PC connected to the network on which the
SNC-RZ30 resides.
VISCA Protocol
The SNC-RZ30 can be interfaced with external
control equipment using the VISCA protocol.
This configuration allows for local control of
P/T/Z and camera settings.
Simultaneous Access
Up to 50 users can simultaneously access a
single SNC-RZ30 to monitor images and control
the camera. One of two control modes for the
camera can be set by the administrator,
allowing control of the unit to be shared by a
number of users. One mode gives priority to
the user who last attempted to control the
camera, while the other mode is time-based.
When the time-based mode is set, priority is
given to a user for a specified amount of time
and when time expires, the next person who
takes control is given priority for that same
amount of time.
Network Security Features
IP Filtering
User access to the SNC-RZ30 can be limited by IP
filtering. Up to ten different groups can be
established by defining an IP address range for
each group. This allows users with IP addresses
in a defined range to access the camera, while
denying access to all other addresses.
