Features and Benefits 
This is a cutting-edge digital video surveillance camera. It can compress and transmit real time 
images with outstanding image quality (30 FPS @ VGA, 640x480) through a standard TCP/IP 
network. This camera is your best choice to build an intelligent IP surveillance system. 
MPEG-4/MJPEG Dual Codec Compression 
This device supports two compression formats, MPEG-4 and MJPEG. It brings superior image 
quality at 30 frames per second in resolutions VGA (640 x 480) / QVGA (320 x 240)/ QQVGA 
(160 x 112). 
Built-in Hardware Motion Detection 
No more external motion sensors are required. You may assign up to 3 video motion detection 
areas. By tuning the object size and sensitivity, it will reliably detect objects passing though in view. 
Hardware motion detection also offers better sensitivity and faster response time than software 
motion detection.   
Powerful Bundled Surveillance Software 
To extend the capabilities of the IP Camera series, a powerful surveillance program is included in 
the package for free. Users can easily use an existing PC as a digital video recorder. Scheduled 
recording and manual recording keep every important video recorded in the local hard disk. 
Reliable and accurate motion detection with instant warning enables immediate response in 
every condition. Quick and simple search and playback function lets you easily find the images 
and video you want. 
Software Development Kit Support 
This IP Camera can be integrated or controlled by applications from third party software 
developers. Software developers can save considerable efforts by using our Streaming Library or 
ActiveX control. Please contact us for details on integration support. 
Digital Time Code Embedded 
The “Digital Time Code Embedded” function records video time in the video stream. Therefore, 
each image frame is marked with its original recording time. It is very useful when users want to 
find the video at an exact time or between a certain time intervals.
