1.3 Features and Benefits
H.264/MPEG4/MJPEG Multi-codec Supported
The camera provides you with excellent images b y th e
H.264/MPEG4/ MJPEG multi-codec selectable technology,
allowing you to adjust image size and qu ality, and bit rate
according to the networking environment.
High Resolution Surveillance
Equipped with a megapixel CMOS sensor, the high
performance camera is designed for your professio nal
surveillance and security applications. The image resolution
is up to 1280 x 1024.
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.
Remote Control Supported
By using a standard Web browser or the bundled UltraView
Pro software application, the administrator can easil y change
the configuration of the camera via Intra net or Internet. In
addition, the camera can be upgraded remotely when a new
firmware is availabl e. The users are also allowed to monitor
the image and take snapshots via the network.

- Wireless Mode: Select the type of wireless
communication for the camera: Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc.
- Channel: Select the appropriate channel from the list.
- Authentication: Select the authentication method to
secure the camera from being used by unauthorized user:
Open, Shared-key, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK. The

The default setting of Authentication mode,
which communicates the key across the
network.
Allow communication only with other devices
with identical WEP settings.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is specially designed
for the users who do not hav e access to
network authentication servers. The user has
to manually enter the starting password in
their access point or gateway, as well as in
each PC on the wireless network.
If you select Open or Shared-key as the Authentication
mode, you need to complete the following settings:
Encryption: Select the WEP option to enable the data
encryption feature to secure the camera within the
wireless network.
- 36 -
Page 38
Format: Once you enable the Encryption feature, you
need to determine the encryption format by selecting
ASCII or HEX. ASCII format causes each character you
type to be interpreted as an eight-bit val ue. Hex format
causes each pair of characters you type to be interpreted
as an eight-bit value in hexadecimal (base 16) notation.
Key Length: Select the WEP key length you use: 64
bits or 128 bits.
WEP Key 1/2/3/4: Enter the WEP key(s) in the following
boxes.
If you select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK as the
Authentication mode, you need to complete the following
settings:
Encryption: Select TKIP or AES. TKIP (Tempo ral Key
Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every
10,000 packets to insure much greate r security than the
standard WEP security. AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard) is used to ensure the highest degree of

Protocol Communication on the network is governed by sets of
rules called protocols. Protocols provide the guidelines
devices use to communicate wi th each other, and thus
they have different functions. Some protocols are
responsible for formatting and presenting and
presenting data that will be transferred from file server
memory to the file server’s net work adapter Others are
responsible for filtering information between networks
and forwarding data to its destination. Still other
protocols dictate how data is transferred across the
medium, and how servers respond to workstation
requests and vice versa. Common network protocols
responsible for the pres entation and format ting of data
for a network operating system are the Internetwork
Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol or the Internet Protocol
(IP). Protocols that dictate the format of data for
transferors the medium include token-passing and
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection
(CSMA/CD), implemented as token-ring, ARCNET,
FDDI, or Ethernet. The Router Information Protocol
(RIP),a part of the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite, forwards
packets from one network to another using the same
network protocol.

different computer types and led to the development of
the Internet.
Transceivers can also be used to join a segment that
uses one medium to a s egment that uses a different
medium. On a 10BASE-5 network, the transceiver
connects the network adapter or other network device
to the medium. Transceivers also can be used on
10BASE-2 or 10BASE-T networks to attach devices
with AUI ports.
