overview below. Both models support the following features:
• Video streams from the camera available on the network as real-time, full frame
rate Motion JPEG and/or MPEG-4 video streams.

there is activity in the video image.
• Scheduled image uploads.
• IP address filtering and multilevel password protection.

door sensors and alarm bells.

multicast is used, the number of viewers is unlimited, but each viewer still needs a
separate MPEG-4 license. One license is included in the product, additional
licenses can be purchased separately.
• Privacy masking allows the concealment of parts of the image that should not be
viewable. Up to 3 areas can be configured as masked areas.
• Built-in web server that provides full access to all features via a standard web
browser.
