1INTRODUCTION

NetCam2 is a network-based high-resolution digital network camera for CCTV applications. It contains an integrated Internet server and connects directly to an Ethernet network. No other hardware is necessary. NetCam2 provides real-time color pictures from up to two cameras over the Internet using an image compression format.

1.1Description

The microprocessor-based NetCam2 contains a digital color camera, web server functionality, image compression hardware and physical Ethernet connection. It requires power and a LAN cable connection.

Wavelet image format

Images are generated in Wavelet format, which progressively generates pictures from low rates of resolution to reduce waiting time for users. The only software required is Netscape Navigator 4.7 or above and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x or above.

Compatible with most systems and protocols

NetCam2 supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other Internet related protocols; and can be used in mixed operating system environments such as Windows, Unix, Macintosh and OS/2. It integrates with other WWW/Intranet applications.

Web-based system management

Using a standard Web browser, NetCam2 is configured and managed directly from its own Web pages. As new firmware release becomes available, NetCam2 camera products can be upgrade remotely via the network.

Indoor/Outdoor use

The operating temperature range of the camera supports indoor application only.

Recommendation:

Use a dedicated outdoor camera that connect to the NetCam2’s input for serving an external cameras. Also the internal camera can be disabled. That channel is then available for a second external camera.
