Main Features
On-site and remote camera monitoring
Camera images can be monitored from a PC, both on-site and over the Internet. You can even use your mobile
phone to view still images when you're out of the house.
H.264, MPEG-4, and Motion JPEG (MJPEG) support
Live camera images can be viewed and buffered (i.e., stored in memory) in H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG
(MJPEG) formats, allowing you to select the video format that best suits your needs.
Built-in sensor (human detection sensor)
The camera features a built-in pyroelectric infrared sensor, which uses infrared rays to detect temperature
differences within its range that are emitted naturally by people, animals, etc. The sensor can be used to trigger
the camera to buffer (i.e., temporarily store) camera images in its memory. You can view these images later
as desired. The sensor can also be used to trigger the camera to transfer images to someone or somewhere,
by FTP, E-mail, or HTTP.
Backlight Correction feature
When this feature is enabled, the camera can automatically correct the contrast in dark areas of the camera
image. This means even when there is backlight or a large amount of contrast in the image, the camera can
correct the image to provide a more consistent, natural image.
Audio features
The camera features a built-in microphone that allows you to monitor the audio while viewing live camera
images using your PC.
Detection features
The camera's motion or sound detection feature allows you to buffer or transfer camera images when the
camera detects motion or sound in the camera image.
Camera image buffering and playback
Camera images can be automatically buffered at specific times, when the camera's external sensors
(customer-provided) are triggered, or when the camera detects motion. You can program the camera to buffer
these camera images, and then you can play back these images later while accessing the camera or save
them to your PC. You can also program the camera to transfer images by E-mail or upload them to an FTP or
HTTP server as they are being buffered.
Digital zoom
When viewing camera images from a PC, you can zoom up to 3´ (by length) and get a closer look. You can
use your mouse to zoom in and out simply.
