  • Page 6: Product Description

    1. Product Description This manual applies to the Network Camera. The Network Camera supports the network service for an existing analog camera. An analog image entered can be monitored on a real-time screen regardless of distances and locations. By using its dedicated program, many users are able to have an access to the Network Camera at once or a single user can monitor various network cameras at the same time.
  • Page 7: Key Features

    Key Features • Brilliant video quality The Network Camera offers the highly efficient H.264 video compression, which drastically reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility. • Dual streams The Network Camera can deliver dual video streams simultaneously at full frame rate in all resolutions up to D1 (720x480 in NTSC, 720x576 in PAL) using Motion JPEG and H.264 (or MPEG-4).

    • Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a particular MAC address.
  • Page 28 • Video Setting -. Codec The codec settings are separated into MPEG4 and H.264. H.264 is a lso known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard for digital video. This function offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at the same bit rate and bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate.
  • Page 29 The bit rate can be set as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR). VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using up bandwidth for increased activity in the image, and less for lower activity in the monitored area. CBR allows you to set a fixed target bitrate that consumes a predictable amount of bandwidth.
