1.Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Internet Camera. This Internet Camera sends live video through 10/100Mbps wired network to a web browser or camera viewer across Internet anywhere in the world! This compact, self-contained unit lets you keep an eye on your home, your kids, and your workplace—whatever’s important to you.

The included Camera Viewer utility lets you record the video to your local hard drive, “live” or on a predetermined schedule.
