Tailor-made RealShot solutions

Standard RealShot Manager software packages are designed for surveillance systems of up to 32 cameras. From very early on in its development, however, Sony took into consideration and catered for the demands of larger, more complex and more challenging environments. Whether its for airport security or city centre surveillance, several customers (corporate, city councils, institutions, etc) in Europe have already relied on our expertise and experience to customise RealShot Manager software to their own special and unique needs.

Customised layouts

RealShot Manager softwares intuitive and user-friendly interface can be personalised in order to match your own requirements and preferences. This powerful feature the Layout Editor creates customised site layouts and allows you to insert backgrounds (e.g. a floor plan), icons(which can be linked to a special camera or monitor) and even company logos.Action areas? can be created and used to switch to a new layout, for example to zoom in on another area such as a different wing of an office building or the opposite platform of a railway station. Monitoring windows can be added and scaled for the layout that suits you best.

Flexible recording

RealShot Manager software is the ultimate choice for those networked surveillance applications where its vital to have an accurate, dependable record of whats been happening. It is unique because of its flexible recording modes which include Manual, Scheduled and Alarm/Pre-alarm recording. Thanks to this software,video images can now be recorded using a networked video surveillance system.

Manual recording

A privileged operator can start a recording at any time for any selected camera. The camera then records at a defined refresh rate resolution and quality.

Scheduled recording

This mode schedules recording for any selected camera or group of cameras. There is virtually no limit to the number of scheduled items, so you can record the detail you want,when you want, by adjusting refresh rate resolution and quality.

Alarm and pre-alarm recording

Alarm sensors can be configured either per camera or camera group and set up to be active in the schedule to record more detail at the time an alarm sensor is triggered.

Search recording

The Search Recording GUI (Graphical User Interface) makes it quick and easy to retrieve a recording. The calendar displays all recordings made (per camera or camera group) so you can see when and what kind of recording was made and alter this for the time/date, alarm events and inserted comments. Preview images (thumbnails) can also be dis-played to make the search even easier and more effective.

Playback duringrecording

Recording and playback can be performed simultaneously, so previously recorded images can be viewed while continuing to record.

Camera Manager

The Camera Manager helps you to tune your digital video system according to your needs and available bandwidth. Each individual camera can be added to a special group and configured for optimal performance by setting default refresh rate, resolution and quality.

Other Features
