Sony Press Release Excerpt:

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 8, 2004 - As part of a comprehensive offering of network-based monitoring solutions, Sony Electronics' recently introduced network cameras, along with its third generation of Real Shot Manager (RSM) video monitoring software, are now available through Sony-authorized commercial IT distributors.

Sony previewed seven IP camera models intended for a variety of uses ranging from home to professional monitoring at the ASIS security trade show in September. Beginning this month, all of the new models are being made available through IT distributors Ingram Micro and Tech Data.

Much of the versatility offered by the new IP cameras can be attributed to their support of bandwidth-saving MPEG-4 compression.

"Many of the models have MPEG-4 and audio support capability in addition to conventional Motion JPEG protocol, which will solve problems of limited network bandwidth," said Nobu Kawasaki, senior marketing manager for IP video monitoring and channel development in Sony Electronics' IP communications group. "MPEG-4 will open new opportunities for use of these cameras not only for traditional security surveillance but also for such communications applications as distance learning."

SNC-M Series: This practical line of four all-in-one network cameras is ideal for use in venues ranging from private residences to corporate settings. Features include:

·                     Support of both JPEG and MPEG-4 compression formats;

·                     Select models support the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless operation;

·                     Pan/Tilt/Zoom capabilities on select models;

·                     Options for wall-mounting, ceiling mounting or desktop use;

·                     Shipment with user-friendly set-up software and viewer/recording software on CD-ROM; and

·                     Free DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) to automatically update the DNS server when an IP address is assigned to one of the cameras.
