The camera provides you with excellent images by the MPEG4/
MJPEG dual-codec selectable 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 speak
through the camera.

 Day & Night Surveillance Supported

The seven Infrared LEDs around the standard lens assembly enable
the camera to capture crystal clear images in the dark environment
or at night. When the Light Sensor detects the environmental light
level becomes 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.

 Supports RTSP

The camera supports RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol), which
is a technology that allows you to view streaming media via the
network. You can view the real-time video with the Quick Time
player or RealPlayer. To view the real-time streaming image on your
computer, open the Web browser and enter the RTSP link: rtsp://(IP

address of the camera)/mpeg4.

 Supports Multiple Profiles

The camera supports multiple profiles simultaneously, so that you
can separately set up different image settings (such as image
quality and frame rate) for the three video types of the camera:
MPEG4, MJPEG, and 3GPP.

 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 bundled UltraView Pro
software 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.

 Supports Connection to the External Devices

With the auxiliary Input/Output connectors, you can connect the
camera to a variety of external devices, such as the external
speaker and the USB device.

 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 Vista and Windows 7.

 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. The camera can capture both still images and
video clips, so that you can keep the archives and restore them at
any time.
