the built-in microphone jack (minijack, monaural)
accepts a commercially available plug-in-power
microphone (rated voltage: 2.5V DC).

External speaker system can be
connected
The line output jack (minijack, monaural) allows
connection of a commercially available speaker system
with the built-in amplifier so that the sound transmitted
via the network can be output from the connected
speaker system.

Sending the image and controlling
peripheral devices by synchronizing with
the alarm
It is equipped with the motion detection function (in
MPEG4 mode), sensor input terminals (two lines) and
an alarm output terminal. You can send images from the

camera as an E-mail attachment or to an FTP server by

Precautions

Overview

This Sony product has been designed with safety in
mind. However, if not used properly electrical products
can cause fires which may lead to serious body injury.
To avoid such accidents, be sure to heed the following.

Cleaning
• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens cover
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of
the camera. Stubborn stains can be removed using a
soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of detergent
solution, then wipe dry.
• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene
or thinners as they may damage the surface finishes.

Heed the safety precautions
Be sure to follow the general safety precautions and the
“Operating Precautions.”

In case of a breakdown
In case of system breakdown, discontinue use and
contact your authorized Sony dealer.

Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage a CCD. You are cautioned
that the surface of a CCD should not be exposed to
laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser
beam device is used.

In case of abnormal operation
• If the unit emits smoke or an unusual smell,
• If water or other foreign objects enter the cabinet, or
• If you drop the unit or damage the cabinet:

1
2

Disconnect the camera cable and the connecting
cables.
Contact your authorized Sony dealer or the store
where you purchased the product.

CCD Characteristics
The following conditions may be observed when using
a CCD camera. They are not due to any fault within the
camera.
Vertical smear: This phenomenon occurs when
viewing a very bright object.
Jagged picture: When viewing stripes, straight lines, or
similar patterns, the image on the screen may appear
jagged.

Operating Precautions
Operating or storage location
Avoid operating or storing the camera in the following
locations:
• Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature:
0 °C to +35 °C [32 °F to 95 °F])
• Exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, or close to
heating equipment (e.g., near heaters)
• Close to sources of strong magnetism
• Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic
radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters
• Locations subject to strong vibration or shock
Ventilation
To prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation
around the camera.
Treatment of the lens cover
Take care not to stain, rap on or press strongly the lens
cover which covers the lens of the camera. These acts
may inhibit the camera to bring out its performance
enough and may cause a malfunction.
Transportation
When transporting the camera, repack it as originally
packed at the factory or in materials of equal quality.

Preparation
The Preparation section explains what the administrator
has to prepare for monitoring the images after
installation and connection of the camera.

Install the “IP Setup Program” to your computer
following the wizard displayed.
If the Software License Agreement is displayed,
read it carefully and accept the agreement to
continue the installation.

Start the IP Setup Program.
The program detects the SNC-P5 cameras
connected to the local network and lists them on the
Network tab window.

Click on the camera to which you want to assign a
new IP address in the list.

Preparation

Assigning the IP
Address to the Camera
To connect the camera to a network, you need to assign
a new IP address to the camera when you install the
camera for the first time.
You can assign an IP address in two ways:
• Using the setup program stored in the supplied CDROM (see page 9)
• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands (see page 73)
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using the supplied setup program and how to
configure the network.
Before starting, connect the camera to a local network,
referring to “Connections” in the supplied Installation
Manual.
Consult the administrator of the network about the
assigned IP address.

Assigning the IP Address Using the
Setup Program

Switching TCP/UDP
Transmission Mode

Operating the Camera

Monitor the camera image in the monitor window.

You can select the communication port of the video/
audio data as TCP or UDP.
This function can be used when the Video mode
(page 37) is set to MPEG4 and the ActiveX viewer is
used.

Select One time tour from the trigger list box.

Display the main viewer.

Click
TCP/UDP transmission selector icon.
Transmission mode selector dialog appears.

Click one of the buttons TCP, UDP (Unicast) or
UDP (Multicast).

Click
Trigger icon.
By clicking it, One time tour starts.

TCP: Usually select this.
When TCP is selected as the communication port,
HTTP communication is adopted for video/audio
communication.
HTTP is the protocol used for reading a usual Web
page.
In an environment capable of reading Web page,
you can watch or listen to the video/audio by
selecting TCP port.
UDP (Unicast): When UDP (Unicast) is selected
as the communication port, RTP (Real-time
Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio
communication. As RTP is the protocol for running
video/audio data, video/audio can be played
smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If the
fire-wall is installed between the camera and the
computer, or depending on the network
environment, the video/audio may not played
properly when UDP (Unicast) is selected. In this
case, select TCP.
UDP (Multicast): You can select this when the
multicast streaming (page 37) is On. When UDP
(Multicast) is selected as the transmission port,
RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP
multicast techniques are adopted for video/audio
transmission. By selecting it, the network
transmission load of the camera can be reduced. If
a router which does not correspond to the multicast

Starting One Time Tour / Switching TCP/UDP Transmission Mode

or the fire-wall is installed between the camera and
the computer, the video/audio may not played

Assigning the IP Address to the Camera Using ARP Commands

Using the SNMP
This unit supports SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). You can read MIB-2 objects
and write some MIB-2 objects using software such as
SNMP manager software. This unit also supports the
coldStart trap which occurs when the power is turned on
or the unit restarts, and the Authentication failure trap
which informs of an illegal access using SNMP.
Using CGI commands, you can set community name
and access limitation, reading/writing right, host to send
traps, and some MIB-2 objects. To allow these settings,
you need authentication by the camera administrator.
