Section 5 - Troubleshooting
1. What is the dierence between D-Link D-ViewCam and the traditional surveillance system?
D-Link D-ViewCam records video in MJPEG and MPEG4 formats, stores high quality image data on computer hard
disks, and provides easy query and review of the stored video. Traditional surveillance systems use videotape for
storage and review, which is hard to managed, time consuming and the recorded video will degrade over a period of
time or usage.
2. Why use the D-Link D-ViewCam Intelligent Solution?
D-Link D-ViewCam is the bundled video surveillance system software that provides advanced security monitoring
and device management functions to use with D-Link Internet cameras. This software uses IP technology to provide
comprehensive management functions such as system controls, live video feeds and archived recordings.
3. We have security guards on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Do we still need D-Link D-ViewCam?
