Easy installation using UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)

When connecting the camera with a UPnP enabled router, the camera

automatically configures its network settings.

*1 The sensor uses pyroelectric effect. Due to the effects of environment temperature, direct

sunlight or air conditioner, it may detect the temperature differences by mistake, or the

detection range may be shortened.

*2 It may take some time to transfer images depending on the network condition.

*3 1 lx is the brightness about 2.5 m (8.2 feet) away from auxiliary fluorescent light. Color night

view mode slows down the frame rate, and images may blur when viewing a moving object or

using the pan/tilt operation.
