General questions for IP Camera

Q:What is IP Camera?

A:IP Camera is an independent system that is able to connect to wired or wireless network directly. It is different from general camera. It is an all-in-one system with built-in CPU and transmits high-quality video / still images by network. You can use any computer with network connection to view video / still images shot by IP Camera.

Q:How many IP Cameras can be existed in a single LAN?

A:Eight IP Cameras are allowed to be connected in a LAN at one time. Transmitting too many packets through LAN might affect the efficiency of the network.

Q:What video / still image compressing algorithm that IC-7000 uses for compressing images?

A:IC-7000 uses JPEG file format to compress the images and uses dynamic JPEG image compressing technology to deal with dynamic videos. Thus it can ensure both high-quality video / still image and high-compression ratio of the images. JPEG is a standard industry image compression technology which can be displayed on most of web browsers and no additional software or plug-in required.

Q: How can I enhance the image quality?

A1: Please make sure the color setting for your monitor display is 16 bits or above. 16 colors or 256 colors will reduce the image quality for your monitor display and result in bad quality of the video / still images,

Q: Can I capture the static images from IP Camera manually?

A: Yes. You can capture the static image form the IP Camera. While browsing the screen on

network, right click the mouse on the static image or click Snapshot button on the
