The Internet Camera is a stand-alone system connecting directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. It differs from a conventional PC Camera, the Internet Camera is an all-in-one system with built-in CPU and Web-based solutions providing a low cost solution that can transmit high quality video images for monitoring. The Internet Camera can be managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any PC/Notebook over an Intranet or the Internet from a Web browser.

2.What is the maximum number of users that can be allowed to access DCS-5605/5635 simultaneously?

The maximum number of users that can log onto the Internet Camera at the same time is 10. Please keep in mind the overall performance of the transmission speed will slow down when many users are logged on.

3.What algorithm is used to compress the digital image?

The Internet Camera utilizes MPEG-4 Simple Profile Mode image compression technology to provide high quality images.

4.Can I capture still images from the Internet Camera?

Yes you are able to capture still images with the snapshot function from the software application CD supplied with the Internet Camera or with the snapshot function on the Home page using an Internet browser.

5.Can the Internet Camera be used outdoors?

The Internet Camera is not weatherproof, and needs to be equipped with a weatherproof case in order to be used outdoors (recommended).

6.When physically connecting the Internet Camera to a network what network cabling is required? The Internet Camera uses Category 5 UTP cable allowing 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T networking.

7.Can the Internet Camera be setup as a PC-cam on a computer?

No, the DCS-5635 Internet Camera is used only on a wireless 802.11n/g, Ethernet, or Fast Ethernet network.
