I. Introduction
• What is NetServer-1?
The NetServer-1is a network dome camera server solution with an integrated Internet server, image
compression device, flash memory, and many other features. No other hardware is necessary for use.
The NetServer-1relays video source from a dome camera to network and provides real time images
over networks and the Internet. Simply provide power and connect LAN cable and video cable to
the NetServer-1. NetServer-1utilizes Wavelet image compression and Linux operating system.
Wavelet and Linux enable NetServer-1to transfer high quality images faster and with a greater
degree of reliability than standard JPEG systems.
• Features and Benefits
Ease of Use – NetServer-1requires either Netscape Navigator 4.7 (or higher) or Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.0 (or higher) for use. Windows 2000 is recommended for best results. Connect
NetServer-1to the Internet and it is ready for use.
Compatible with most Systems and Protocols – NetServer-1supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP,
HTTP and other Internet-related protocols. In addition, the NetServer-1can be used in mixed
operating system environments, such as Windows, UNIX, Macintosh and OS/2. NetServer-1also
integrates easily into other Internet/Intranet applications and CGI scripts.
Simple Administration - NetServer-1can be configured and managed directly from its own web
page. Moreover, as new upgrades become available, it is easy to upgrade NetServer-1remotely over
the network.
Wavelet Image Format - Unlike many other products that need to fracture image files prior to
broadcast, the NetServer-1delivers complete, highly compressed pictures in Wavelet format.
Wavelet has image compression rates 30-300% higher than standard JPEG. By utilizing Wavelet,
image file sizes are much smaller than conventional camera servers and Wavelet's image quality is
superior to other camera servers as well. Wavelet can transmit up to 123 frames per second.
External Device Connection - External devices such as IR-sensors, switches and external video
input can be connected to NetServer-1via the auxiliary Input/Output port.
User’s Programmable Space – NetServer-1contains 4.5MB of configurable Flash Memory for
user-programmable and user-configurable space. Because NetServer-1also acts as a server, this
space can be used to create a personal web page.
Embedded Linux Operating System – NetServer-1uses an embedded Linux operating system
within its 32bit RISC CPU. Linux is based on UNIX and is one of the most stable operating systems
available. There is very little chance of the operating system crashing.
