1. Introduction

Following the high standards of GRUNDIG IP Cameras, this IP Camera is capable of serving real-time streaming
and makes the images run smoothly (25 images/second).

In addition to MJPEG real time streaming, this IP Camera develops a superior H.264 main profile codec to
smoothly transfer High Definition surveillance data through the Internet without distortion. Attributing to the IP
Camera’s flexible platform, the camera can be applied in various installation locations including shops, stores,
banks, parking lots, factories and building surveillance.

With the Power over the Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) feature, the need of power outlets could be totally eliminated;
likewise installation and cabling cost could be significantly reduced. Additionally, its light weight and compact
size offer a quick and simple installation on the ceilings or walls of houses and vehicles.

replacing battery may cause explosion, fire, electric shock, or damage to the product. Do not connect multiple
cameras to a single adapter. Exceeding the capacity may cause abnormal heat generation or fire.

Do not place conductive objects (e.g. screwdrivers, coins or any metal items) or containers filled with water on
top of the camera. Doing so may cause personal injury due to fire, electric shock, or falling objects.

If any unusual smells or smoke come from the unit, stop using the product. In such case, immediately disconnect
the power source and contact the service center. Continued use in such a condition may cause fire or electric
shock.
