PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing ICS2030, a standalone system that can
be connected directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network.
Equipped with a megapixel CMOS sensor, the camera allows you
to capture a wider field of view with a resolution of up to 1280 x
1024. With support for latest H.264 technology, you can record
streaming video that utilizes high quality H.264 images to your hard
drive, enable motion detection and setup automated e-mail alerts
for security. The built-in microphone and audio ports provide you
with the extensive audio function, allowing you to “watch” and
“listen” from the camera.
Compared to the conventional PC Camera, this camera feat ures a
built-in CPU and web-based solutions that can provide a costeffective solution to transmit the real-time high-quality video
images and sounds synchronously for monitoring. The camera can
be managed remotely, so that you can use a web browser to
access and control it from any desktop/notebook computer over
the Intranet or Internet.
The simple installation procedures and web-based interface allow
you to integrate it into your network easily. With comprehensive
applications supported, the Internet camera is your best solution
for remote monitor, high quality, and high performance video
images.
