3 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, allow-
ing 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 features
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 feature
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.

vacy mode while away from home.
