This new camera from Sony features M-PEG4, JPEG and H.264 milti codec compression capability, M-PEG4 and JPEG dual stream capability, auto-iris vari-focal lens (f3.0-8.0mm, F1.0), high picture quality-1/3 type SuperExwave CCD and high sensitivity-0.4lux(F1.0, 50IRE).

Other features include, day/night function, high-frame rate of up to 30fps at 640x480 sized image, 3 selectable image sizes-VGA, QVGA, QQVGA, simultaneous access up to 20 users, multicasting capability and intelligent motion detection and alarm trigger function.

• High Quality Images and High Sensitivity: Employing the latest 1/3" type SuperExwave CCD for exceptional picture quality and with a minimum illumination level of 0.4 lx at F0.95, the camera captures high-contrast images even in low-light conditions
  
  
• Selectable JPEG, MPEG4 and H.264 Compression Formats
  
  
• High Frame Rate: Maximum frame rate of 30fps in VGA (640 x 480) in both MPEG4 and JPEG
  
  
• Slim and Stylish Design with Front and Rear Covers
  
  
• Dual Codec (Dual Streaming) Capability: The SNC-CS50N is equipped with dual encoding capability that enables the camera to generate both MPEG4 and JPEG images simultaneously
  
  
• Vari-Focal Lens: The SNC-CS50N comes equipped with a CS-mount, IR compensated vari-focal lens with an auto iris function that covers the frequently used horizontal viewing angles of 94 to 35 degrees. Because the maximum aperture is F0.95, the lens can provide remarkable image quality even in low-light conditions
  
  
• Image Stabilizer: Minimizes the appearance of shaky images caused by low-frequency vibration so that stable and sharp images are provided
  
  
• Day/Night Function: Provides optimized sensitivity in both day and night environments
  
  
• Anti-tampering Function: Incorporating a digital signature technology using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), the SNC-CS50N allows users to verify the origin of images and helps prevent tampering
  
  
• Intelligent Alarm Function: Intelligent Motion Detection-Unlike conventional motion detection which typically detects luminance level differences, the SNC-CS50N utilizes the last 15 frames to calculate motion detection information
  
  
• The SNC-CS50N can detect objects that have been left in one place for a specified duration
  
  
• AC24V, DC12V, or PoE Operation
