I. Introduction
• What is NetServer-6 ?
The NetServer-6 is a network CCTV 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-6 relays video source from a CCTV 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-6 . NetServer-6 utilizes Wavelet image compression and Linux
operating system. Wavelet and Linux enable NetServer-6 to transfer high quality images faster
and with a greater degree of reliability than standard JPEG systems.
• Features and Benefits
Ease of Use – NetServer-6 requires 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-6 to the Internet and it is ready for use.
Compatible with most Systems and Protocols – NetServer-6 supports TCP/IP networking,
SMTP, HTTP and other Internet-related protocols. In addition, the NetServer-6 can be used in
mixed operating system environments, such as Windows, UNIX, Macintosh and OS/2. NetServer-6
also integrates easily into other Internet/Intranet applications and CGI scripts.
Simple Administration - NetServer-6 can be configured and managed directly from its own web
page. Moreover, as new upgrades become available, it is easy to upgrade NetServer-6 remotely
over the network.
Wavelet Image Format - Unlike many other products that need to fracture image files prior to
broadcast, the NetServer-6 delivers 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, alarm relays and
external video input can be connected to NetServer-6 via six auxiliary Input ports.
User’ s Programmable Space – NetServer-6 contains 4.5MB of configurable Flash Memory for
user-programmable and user-configurable space. Because NetServer-6 also acts as a server, this
space can be used to create a personal web page.
Embedded Linux Operating System – NetServer-6 uses 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.
