Operating Instructions

Main Features

Wireless Communication

Network Camera corresponds to the wireless system based on IEEE 802.11b/g. Wireless installation will play an increasing role in flexible mounting. Communication via Ethernet® cable is also available. Encryption establishes the security on the wireless network.

Various remote monitoring features

Pyroelectric infrared sensor*1 detects temperature differences caused by a human body or animals.

Detection can let camera transfer images by E-mail or FTP*2.

Color night view mode (auto-adjusted) enables the camera to display images even in 1 lx illuminance*3.

Monitoring from PC or mobile phone

The camera images can be monitored over the Internet.

Pan/tilt operation can move the lens horizontally from -50 ° to +50 ° and vertically from -40 ° to +10 °.

Privacy mode

Privacy mode hides the lens into the unit to protect privacy.

Pressing the privacy button on the front of the camera switches privacy mode on or off with a single touch.

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.

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

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.
