Sony has just released its new SNC toolbox mobile, a convenient app that provides a simpler and smarter video security camera setup tool for installers. This innovative installation tool displays live camera images via a plug-in Wi-Fi dongle on the camera, to a smartphone or tablet, and allows the installer to easily adjust field of view and focus. With no need to carry a laptop or installation monitor up the ladder, and no trailing cables, basic installation can easily be done by one person, ultimately saving installers time and integration costs.
Installing and setting up security cameras can be a slow, inefficient and labour-intensive process. In some installation scenarios, fine adjustments typically require an installer to phone from the top of a ladder to another operator in the control room viewing the images on a PC screen. Even cameras equipped with an analogue video output require an installer to hold a portable video monitor in order to adjust zoom and focus settings.
