This product is no longer available. Its replacement is the Sony SNC-CH120.

The Sony SNC-CS20 is an indoor fixed view IP camera with a 1/4" progressive scan sensor featuring Sony’s ExwavePRO technology which provides high sensitivity for clear images in both normal daylight operation and night vision infrared viewing.

Using Sony’s DEPA platform for intelligent video analytics the SNC-CS20 has Intelligent Motion Detection (IMD) which when combined with a DEPA recording platform can filter recording and alarm triggering dependent on position and direction of movement of an object.

With Power over Ethernet compatibility the Sony SNC-CS20 is easy to install and only requires one cable for both power and data transmission. Like all IP cameras available from Network Webcams, the Sony SNC-CS20 IP security camera has a built-in web server and can be viewed over a Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN) or via the Internet as a streaming IP webcam.

Important: This camera does not include a power supply unless you have selected one from the options above.
