Supports a Variety of Platforms

Supporting TCP/IP networking, HTTP, and other Internet related protocols. The DCS-7413 can also be integrated easily into other Internet/Intranet
applications because of its standards-based features. The DCS-7413 works with any 10/100 Ethernet network, making the DCS-7413 easy to integrate
into your existing network environment.

Advanced Event Management

The DCS-7413 can be set up to send e-mail notications with snapshots when an event occurs, such as when motion is detected. Events can be
triggered from several sources, such as motion detection, timer based events or digital input based events.

Automatic Thermostat Temperature Regulation

The DCS-7413 monitors and automatically regulates its temperature to ensure it can perform at its optimal ability. It balances fan use against a built
in heater based on a range of preset thermostatic settings. This gives the DCS-7413 the ability to perform in the most demanding of environments.

Remote Monitoring Utility

The D-ViewCam application adds enhanced features and functionality for the Network Camera and allows administrators to congure and access
the Network Camera from a remote site via Intranet or Internet. Other features include image monitoring, recording images to a hard drive, viewing
up to 32 cameras on one screen, and taking snapshots.

IR LED for Day and Night Functionality

The built-in infrared LEDs enables night time viewing of up to 30 meters (98 feet).

IP66 Weatherproof Housing

The DCS-7413 uses an IP66 weatherproof housing, allowing you to rest assured that in the toughest of conditions, it will continue to provide round­the-clock surveillance.

PoE (Power over Ethernet) for Flexible Installation

The DCS-7413 can draw all the power it needs from a PoE switch or PoE injector for a simple and clutter-free installation.

In a typical application, when motion is detected, the DCS-7413 sends images to a FTP server or via e-mail as notications. As shown in the
