ICA-W8100 Efficient Event Management The ICA-W8100 is designed with a built-in Passive InfraRed (PIR) motion detection sensor able to detect movement far from 5 meters away. When people pass by or an emergency happens in the specified areas, the ICA-W8100 will “detect” and start recording automatically.
Complying with ONVIF, the ICA-W8100 is therefore interoperable with the third brand camera in the market, which greatly supports users to integrate with their existing surveillance network. It also includes 64-CH central management software for ease of maintenance and remote monitoring.
