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. Up to 5 users can view the live video simultaneously by using the provided utility.

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 speaker.

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.

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.

NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support. NTP allows the Network Camera to calibrate its internal clock from an Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the time stamp on Video from the Network Camera will be correct.

Security Features

User Authentication. If desired, access to live video can be restricted to known users. Users will have to enter their username and password before being able to view the video stream. Up to 20 users can be entered in the user database.

Password-Protected Configuration. Configuration data can be password protected, so that it only can be changed by the Network Camera Administrator.
