1.3 Features and Benefits
MJPEG Codec Supported
The camera provides you with excellent images by the MJPEG codec technology, allowing you to
adjust image size and quality, and bit rate according to the networking environment.
2-way Audio Capability
The built-in microphone of the camera provides on-the-spot audio via the Internet, allowing you to monitor
the on-site voice. In addition, you can connect an external speaker to the camera to talk to people at the
camera view.
Day & Night Surveillance Supported
The seven Infrared LEDs around the standard lens assembly enable the camera to capture crystal clear
images in dark environments or at night. When the Light Sensor detects the environmental light level as
being too low, the camera captures the images in black & white mode using these infrared LEDs.
Optimal Viewing
With the pan/tile functions, you can easily monitor everywhere via the camera by moving the camera lens
to the left/right (165/165 degrees) or up/down (90/15 degrees). In addition, you can assign up to eight
positions for the camera, enabling you to move the camera lens to the desired position quickly.
I/O Connectors Provided
The camera provides the I/O connectors on the rear panel (IN/OUT), which provide the physical interface
to send and receive digital signals to a variety of external alarm devices. You can connect a special
featured device, and then configure the settings and control the device from the GPIO Trigger window of
Web Configuration.
Remote Control Supported
By using a standard Web browser or the complimentary software SkyIPCam UltraView application, the
administrator can easily change the configuration of the camera via Intranet or Internet. In addition, the
camera can be upgraded remotely when a new firmware is available. The users are also allowed to
monitor the image and take snapshots via the network.
Multiple Platforms Supported
The camera supports multiple network protocols, including TCP/IP, SMTP e-mail, HTTP, and other Internet
related protocols. Therefore, you can use the camera in a mixed operating system environment, such as
Windows 7 and Windows XP.
Multiple Applications Supported
Through the remote access technology, you can use the cameras to monitor various objects and places for
your own purposes. For example, babies at home, patients in the hospital, offices and banks, and more.
