Capture

Motion Detection Function

This function detects changes by reacting to a camera threshold or sensitivity that is set in advance on the PC. Captured images can also be stored temporarily in the camera*1 or sent to you by e-mail*2or FTP data transfer*3.

Connect

Alerting yourself when motion occurs

Image Transfer Function

In accordance with preset settings*9, the camera will automatically transfer images and a data log by e-mail*2to an e-mail address or by FTP to a server. This allows you to check images only when necessary, and also

Enjoy smooth communication.

Audio 2-Way Communication*11

By using the built-in microphone and a separately purchased speaker, you can speak*12 to someone near the camera while monitoring. This gives you more precise communication to lessen the inconvenience of being in a distant location.

Store

SD Memory Card*4 Recording

A large number of images can be saved onto an SD Memory Card inserted into the camera. The images on the card can be checked over the Internet, or if no network is being used, monitoring is possible using only the camera by simply storing the images onto the card.

Other Features

Splash Resistant Body*13

(Splash resistant standard: IPX4)

The camera can be mounted just as it is onto a store eave or other outdoor location. This allows installation in a variety of places to expand its scope of application.

By connecting a cable directly to the camera's video output terminal, you can use your existing TV or video recorder for monitoring.

Enjoy comfortable, versatile monitoring.

Simultaneous MPEG-4 and JPEG

Cameras simultaneously send MPEG-4 images in three resolutions (VGA*7, QVGA, and SCIF), and JPEG images in the same three resolutions in favour motion, standard, and favour clarity image-quality types. MPEG-4 is recommended for viewing smooth motion images, and JPEG is recommended for recording higher quality images.
