•
Dual Video Support. The Network Camera can support both MEPG4 and MJEPG video
for different image compression.
•
Stream Live Video to Multiple Users. The MPEG4 encoder and HTTP server built
into the camera generate a ready-to-view video stream. Just connect to the camera using
your Web browser or the provided Windows utility to view live video.
•
Suitable for Home, Business or Public Facilities. Whether for Home, Business or
Public Facility surveillance, or just for entertainment and fun, the Network Camera has the
features you need.
• Multi-Protocol Support. Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP (E-mail), HTTP and
other Internet related protocols, the Network Camera can be easily integrated into your
existing network.
•
Easy Configuration. A Windows-based Wizard is provided for initial setup.
Subsequent administration and management can be performed using a standard web
browser. The administrator can configure and manage the Network Camera via the LAN
or Internet.
• Viewing/Recording Utility. A user-friendly Windows utility is provided for viewing
live video. For periods when you are absent, or for scheduled recording, this application
also allows you to record video to an ASF file on your PC. The recorded files are in a
standard Windows Media format, and thus usable by a wide variety of programs if
required.
• Motion Detection. This feature can detect motion in the field of view. The Network
Camera will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of
large objects. This function only works indoors due to the sensitivity of the CMOS sensor.
When motion is detection, an E-mail alert can be sent, or some other action may be
triggered.
• Flexible Scheduling. You can limit access to the video stream to specified times using
a flexible scheduling system. The Motion Detection feature can also have its own schedule,
so it is active only when required.
• Syslog Support. If you have a Syslog Server, the Network Camera can send its log data
to your Syslog Server.
•
Audio Support. You can listen as well as look! Audio is encoded with the video if
desired. You can use either the built-in microphone or an external microphone.
•
PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor) Support. The Network Camera is embedded with an
PIR Sensor, which senses infrared light radiating from human bodies in its field of view.
This feature is very helpful in enhancing home security systems.
• White Light LEDs Support. Each Network Camera has 4 white light LEDs. The LEDs
can provide illumination around 5 meters long, that can help to output a better video
quality while under low-light conditions such as indoors, on cloudy days, or in the
morning or evening. The white light can be used to deliver warning as well.
Internet Features
• User-definable HTTP port number. This allows Internet Gateways to use "port
mapping" so the Network Camera and a Web Server can share the same Internet IP
address.
•
SMB Client Support. With Server Message Block Protocol (SMB protocol) support, the
client applications in a computer can read, create, and update files on the remote server.
•
DDNS Support. In order to view video over the Internet, users must know the Internet
IP address of the gateway used by the Network Camera. But if the Gateway has a dynamic
IP address, DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is required. Since many existing Gateways do not
support DDNS, this function is incorporated into the Network Camera.
