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 your 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 monit or
everywhere remotely. In addition, the camera can attach a variety
of external devices for your specific pu rp oses through the GPIO
connectors.
Compared to the conventional PC Camera, this camera features a
