1.3 Features and Benefits
Thank you for purchasing the SkyIPCam1620 PoE MPEG4 3GPP Network Camera, a standalone system
that can be connected directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network.
With MPEG4 image compression technology, you can record streaming video th at utilizes high quality
images to your hard drive, enable motion detection and set up autom ated e-mail alerts for security. The
built-in microphone and audio ports provide you with the extensive 2-W ay Audio function, allowing you to
“listen” and “talk” to the area monitored by the camera. The camera can be m anaged remotely, so that
you can use a web browser to access and control it from any desktop/note book computer or 3G smart
phone over the Intranet or Internet.
The simple installation procedures and web-based interface allow you to integr ate it into your network
easily. The camera features Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology; by connec ting it to a PoE switch with
a RJ45 network cable, it allows you to install and use the camera in an env ironment where power supply
is not available. With comprehensive applications supported, the camera is your best solution for
demanding surveillance and remote monitoring applications.
MPEG4/MJPEG Dual-codec Supported
The camera provides you with excellent images by the MPEG4/ MJPEG dual-co dec selectable
technology, allowing you to adjust image size and quality, and bit rate accor ding to the networking
environment.
Flexible 2-Way Audio Capability
The camera allows you to connect an external microphone to receive on-the-spot audio via the
Internet, allowing you to monitor the on-site voice. In addition, you can connect a n external active
speaker to the camera to speak through the camera (supporting mono audio only).
Supports RTSP
The camera supports RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol), which is a techn ology that allows you
to view streaming media via the network. You can view the real-time video with the Quick Time
player or RealPlayer. To view the real-time streaming image on your com puter, open the RTSP
supported player and enter the link:
rtsp://(IP address of the camera)/mpeg4.
I/O Connectors and RS-485 Provided
The I/O connectors (IN/OUT) of the camera provide the physical interface to s end and receive
digital signals to a variety of external alarm devices (such as motion detecti on, event triggering,
alarm notification, and a variety of external control functions). The pins TX + & TX- of the I/O
connectors are used for RS-485 data transmission, which allow you to connect a s pecial featured
device (such as an external camera stand with Pan/Tilt function), configure t he settings and control
the device from the GPIO Trigger window of Web Configuration.
Remote Control Supported
By using a standard Web browser or the complimentary UltraView softwar e application, the
administrator can easily change the configuration of the camera via Intranet or Internet. In addition,
the camera can be upgraded remotely when a new firmware is available. The users are also
allowed to monitor the image and take snapshots via the network.
Multiple Profiles Supported
The camera supports multiple profiles simultaneously, so that you can s eparately set up different
image settings (such as image quality and frame rate) for the three video t ypes of the camera:
MPEG4, MJPEG, and 3GPP.
Multiple Platforms Supported
The camera supports multiple network protocols, including TCP/IP, SMT P e-mail, HTTP, and other
Internet related protocols. Therefore, you can use the camera in a mixed oper ating system
environment, such as Windows 7 / Vista / XP.
