Bring your analogue cameras
back up to speed

The SNT-V704 is a compact, high-
performance Video Network Station
that allows users to remotely monitor
and control analogue cameras over
a TCP/IP network. The unit accepts
up to four analogue video inputs
providing outstanding flexibility for
your IP-based monitoring systems.
Supporting both MPEG-4 video
and JPEG compressed images at
a high-refresh rate of 25 fps, the
SNT-V704 offers you the option
to choose high video throughput
over your network with MPEG-4 or
high-quality still images with JPEG.
USB support for additional storage,
a bi-directional audio function, plus a
number of other convenient features
such as alarm, image transfer and
network security functions enables
scalable and effective monitoring
operations.If converting existing
analogue cameras to an IP-based
monitoring system is your need,
the SNT-V704 is your answer.
SNT-V704 ■ Analogue Camera Monitoring/Control Via Network
The SNT-V704 Video Network Station supports TCP/IP protocol, enabling
images from up to four analogue cameras to be remotely monitored and the
cameras to be controlled over LANs (Local Area Networks) and WANs (Wide
Area Networks). Equipped with a built-in web server, the SNT-V704 allows
users to monitor live images and to adjust settings of connected cameras via
a PC running the Microsoft®Internet Explorer®web browser; no additional
software is required. A variety of display patterns and viewer window sizes are
available. While up to 50 users can simultaneously monitor camera images.
■ MPEG-4/JPEG Support
Both MPEG-4 and JPEG are supported by the SNT-V704. Users have the option
of selecting bandwidth-efficient MPEG-4 or industry-standard JPEG compres-
sion. The high performance SNT-V704 provides independent streaming of data
from the analogue ports at up to 25 fps, VGA (640 x 480) image size, for each
port, greatly enhancing the capability of your IP monitoring system.
■ Bi-Directional Audio Function
The SNT-V704 is equipped with an external mic input that can be used to
connect a microphone to the unit so that audio can be monitored from a
remote PC. The unit also has an audio line output for active speakers,
enabling users to make an announcement from the remote PC, significantly
expanding the possibilities for remote monitoring applications.
FEATURES
■ Analogue Camera Monitoring/Control via Network
Imagine being connected to remote business
locations with a reality that makes it seem as if you
are in the same room. Imagine high resolution so
clear that even the subtlest facial expressions are
communicated. “IPELA” will bring a reality that has
never before been available. “IPELA” connects you
to operational maneuverability more sophisticated
than ever before. Its visual recognition, distinction
and video adjustment capabilities go beyond
ordinary visual monitoring systems to support your
business objectives. “IPELA” connects you to the
technology. With an easy-to-use, intuitive graphical
interface, for example, there will be no stress
involved when using these systems. “IPELA” aims at
the utmost in usability.

■ USB Port for External Data Storage
Data storage capacity can be increased with either an external
HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or USB flash memory device. Both MPEG-
4 and JPEG compressed images can be recorded to the external
storage device and viewed from a PC*1. Periodic recording is pos-
sible and pre-/post-alarm images can also be recorded.
*1 Viewing MPEG-4 files requires the supplied application software.
■ Alarm Function
The SNT-V704 is equipped with a built-in, activity-detection function
that can be set to generate an alarm through its alarm-output ports.
Up to two detection areas can be set for each camera.
In addition, with a sensor-input port that can receive a trigger from
an external sensor and a built-in 32-MB buffer, the SNT-V704 can
store hundreds of pre-alarm and post-alarm still images at the time
an alarm is triggered – whether from the activity-detection function,
the alarm-input port, or both. Pre-/post-alarm images can then
be transferred to an FTP server or recorded to an external storage
device. If desired, the image acquired at the time of an alarm event
can also be sent to pre-designated e-mail addresses.
■ Serial Interface (RS-232C/485/422)
Using the SNT-V704 serial interface, camera Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ)
control and limited camera setting adjustments can be made*2.
*2 Contact your local Sony sales office for a list of cameras that can be controlled.
■ Network Security Feature
User access to video cameras via the SNT-V704 can be limited
by IP filtering. Up to ten different groups can be established by
defining an IP address for each group. Additionally, user names
and passwords can be assigned to allow four levels of access.
■ Dynamic Masking Function
Up to two areas rectangular in shape within each camera image
can be masked. Even if a camera pans, tilts, or zooms, the
masked area will remain concealed.
■ Other Features
“TOUR” FEATURE
Allows a user to preset up to five scanning patterns with up to
16 positions in each scan.
“AREA SETTING” FEATURE
Allows the administrator to crop an area within an image, which is
particularly useful when you wish to monitor a specific area within
that image.
COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN
Compact and light weight, the SNT-V704 is ideal for installation in
small spaces. Of course, rack mounting is also an option.
EASY SETUP
The SNT-V704 is easy to set up with the intuitive setup menu.
