network. The MJPEG video
compression produces a high quality, high-frame rate, 640 x 480 video
streams.
This Internet Camera provides a wide angle lens can let you see
more of view. You ca
pan and tilt by manual or use Auto-Pan-Tilt function by automation.

local hard drive,
“live” or on a predetermined schedule.
