Colour Night View Mode

When the subject darkens, the camera automatically adjusts the brightness to show you the image.

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*2 or FTP data transfer*3.
*1 A maximum of approximately 350 images (320 x 240 pixels) can be stored in the camera.*2 PDP before SMTP authentication and SMTP authentication (PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAM-MD5) are supported. *3 The sensor's detection history can also be e-mailed to you once a day at a preset time.Achieving Zero Distance Management with a Variety of FunctionsOFF ONA 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.*4 The SD Memory Card is sold separately.*5 The MPEG-4 recording times will vary depending on the subject and the maximum MPEG-4 frame rate (image refresh speed) and bit rate settings for image distribution.Threshold
Enjoy comfortable, versatile monitoring.

Simultaneous MPEG-4 and JPEG

You can make use of your existing equipment.
Analogue Video Output*8
By connecting a cable directly to the camera's video output terminal, you can use your existing TV or video recorder for monitoring. When using analogue video output, the camera automatically switches to interlace scanning*9 to suppress flicker in motion images.*8-1 Compatible with both NTSC and PAL systems. *8-2 A mini video cable (with 3.5-mm mini plug) is required.*8-3 The camera cannot be controlled when using analogue video output. The video image displays poorly in colour night view mode.*9 Images are output to the PC with progressive scanning.
Monitor large areas entirely.

Remote Pan/Tilt and Zoom Control

*11 The zoom function cannot be used from a cell phone.The camera angle can be varied by remote control to monitor large areas. Monitoring precision can be further increased by using the
42x zoom*11
(21x optical zoom and 2x digital zoom).

Image Transfer Function

In accordance with preset settings*10, the camera
will automatically transfer images and a data log by e-mail to an e-mail*2 address or by FTP to a server. This allows you to check images only when necessary, and also prevents you from forgetting to check them. *10 Preset settings can include timer, alarm, and motion detection. With JPEG connection only.
