Advanced Installation Guide
Version 1.0
PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing IC2300/ICS2330, 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 you r hard
drive, enable motion detection and setup automated e-mail alerts
for security.
With the Infrared LEDs and light sensor on the camera, you can
capture clear images even in the dark environment. The camera’s
pan/tilt functions allow you to control the camera to m onit or
everywhere remotely. In addition, the camera can attach a variety
of external devices for your specific pu rposes through the GPIO
connectors.
Compared to the conventional PC Camera, this came ra features a
built-in CPU and web-based solutions t hat 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 co mputer 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 perf ormance video
images.
