Main Features
[For BL-C20A] Wireless Communication
This Network Camera is compatible with a wireless system based on IEEE
802.11b/g. Wireless installation is playing an ever increasing role in flexible
communication. The use of encryption ensures security on this kind of network.
Communication via Ethernet cable is also available.
Digital zoom feature
This camera has a 10× digital zoom feature. This feature allows you to increase or
decrease the size of objects on the Single Camera screen, the Multi Camera
screen, and the Buffered Image screen. This makes it easy to view distant objects.
A mouse wheel operation or clicking the right mouse button increase or decrease
the size of the object.
Color Night View Mode
The color night view mode provides better image quality and low light performance
*3
(4 lx
).
Multi-Camera Support
The Multi-Camera page displays the moving images from up to 4 cameras. This
camera allows you to switch between 3 sets of 4 cameras. Additionally, static
images from a maximum of 12 cameras can be displayed on a single page.
DynamicDNS Service Support
DynamicDNS service allows you to access the camera over the Internet with a
domain name of your choice (e.g. bob.viewnetcam.com) instead of a global IP
address.
Multi-Language Display
The Top page, Single Camera and Multi-Camera page can be displayed in English,
French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Korean or
Japanese. The Setup, Maintenance and Support pages are displayed only in
English, Japanese, French or Simplified Chinese.
Motion Detection feature
The Camera has a Motion Detection feature that detects movement, such as
people, based on the preset threshold and sensitivity of the Camera. You can buffer
the camera images, transfer images to an FTP server or send E-mails using the
Motion Detection function as a trigger.
