Introduction - Edimax IC-2000Wg User Manual

1. Introduction

The IP Camera is designed with the "user-friendly" idea deep in mind. The user
can install the IP Camera easily on his/her home network and then access the IP
Camera anywhere in the world through the accompanied video management software
- CamView program without setting some complicated DNS name or changing the
router's settings. It's just a plug & play action.
With 3GPP/ISMA support, users can see the video of the IP camera on any 3G
mobile phone anywhere, anytime. The big difference is that there is software for
downloading to the mobile phone so that the fixed IP address is not needed for the IP
camera. The video settings including frame rate, resolution and bandwidth could be
different for PC monitoring and mobile viewing.
For indoor surveillance and remote monitoring, the IP Camera provides the best
image quality in its class, and excellent performance. The IP Camera also provides
the best bandwidth efficiency, it offers 640x480 resolution, 30 fps frame rate, real
MPEG4 image compression ability. The built-in microphone enables remote users to
not only view, but also listen for additional monitoring options.
The NAS storage function can easily turn any NAS device to a NVR device. The
schedule function provides full scheduling of email/ftp sending, motion detection and
NAS recording event. With the built-in Web server, the IP Camera can also be
managed from a standard web browser on a Windows computer.
The IP Camera provides both wireless IEEE 802.11 b/g and wired Ethernet
network interfaces for flexible installation. It supports the WEP and WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) security modes to provide the best security for wireless networks.
(IP Cam model only support wired Ethernet interface)
The IP Camera provides motion detection function. Users can easily setup this
function and receive the notification with the snapshot images through email and/or ftp
when some motion events are detected.
The IP Camera is ideal for securing small businesses, home offices and
residences over a local area network and/or the Internet.
The differences
It's very easy to see the video of the IP Camera, you only need to key in the
ID/Password of the IP Camera any where in the world, you do not need to remember
the IP address or domain name or DDNS name or port number. And you do not need
to modify the settings(like port mapping, fixed IP, DDNS, virtual server) of the
NAT/router devices, it's just a plug & play usage.
