1.1. SNC-550 Network Camera Introduction
The SNC-550 is a high-tech network camera that uses MPEG-4
codec technology to allow high compression rates and clear picture
quality by allowing for high frame rates to be transmitted through
the network.
By using the network, remote connection, monitoring, and control is
possible from any location for simple use; additionally, set-up
requires only a network.
The SNC-550 Network Camera utilizes embedded software
solutions (Embedded Web Server, Embedded Streaming Server,
Network Protocol) developed by SamsungTechwin, and guarantees
performance and safety while offering various solutions through
Internet integration.
1.2. Features
High Resolution
By adopting SUPER HAD CCD, this camera provides
530TV line on vertical resolution color, 570TV line on BW
(on the basis of VIDEO OUT output)
DAY & NIGHT
This camera has a function that automatically selects the
mode that is appropriate for daytime or night-time
conditions.

1.2. Features
13
The COLOR mode operates in daytime conditions to
provide optimum colors, and BW mode operates in night-
time conditions to enhance the definition of the image.
Electronic IRIS
The electronic IRIS function enables continuous
automatic control of the shutter between
1/60(1/50)~1/120,000 seconds.
PRIVACY Function
The PRIVACY function conceals the areas you do not
wish to appear on the screen.
VIDEO/DC Drive Lens
The video drive lens and the DC drive lens can be
selected by the touch of a switch.
High Sensitivity
The built-in high sensitivity COLOR CCD enables a clear
image even in 0.002Lux(Sens-up) or lower illumination.
SSNR (Samsung Super Noise Reduction)
By using built-in SSNR function manufactured by
SAMSUNG TECHWIN, the amount of low illuminance
noise has been significantly reduced, and the signal-to-
noise ratio (S/N) as well as horizontal resolution have
been improved, resulting in a clear and sharp image
display even in the dark.

SPOTLIGHT Function
The SPOTLIGHT function is setting when you want
subject in the center of the image exposed correctly,
regardless of the back lighting.

Motion Detection
Once motion is detected, the camera sends an alert
signal to the processing unit, which, if used in conjunction
with an optional alarm, can provide effective surveillance
of your property.
Alarm and interoperation
Motion Detection function is interoperated with Alarm, still
picture can be transmitted via e-mail or FTP.
High data compression ratio
With high data compression ratio based on MPEG-4,
transmission speed is fast and relatively large number of
frame can be transmitted on the same network bandwidth.
Adopt PoE(Power Over Ethernet)
PoE is the function that supplies power in addition to data
sending and receiving using LAN cable without separate
power connection and it provides convenience for users
at installation.

1.2. Features
15
Bi-directional audio and video transmission
Video and bi-directional audio can be transmitted in real
time and recording and playing are possible through
exclusive viewer installed on user’s PC.
Additional function
SENS-UP, Horizontal reversal, SHARPNESS, SYNC
selection(INT/LL), MPEG-4/JPEG selection function.
