1. 0BIntroduction

PLANET ICA-HM830W is the new H.264 2Mega-Pixel Fixed Dome IP camera featuri ng a fish-eye lens for 360 degree panoramic wide angle view without blind spot. The ICA-HM830W delivers clear image through Multi-streaming H.264 an d Motion JPEG video up to UXGA (160 0 x 1200 pixels). The fish-eye lens with 2Mega Pixel high resolution images provides 360 degree wide view surveillance and the panorama function with quad view enables four different angles images to display simultaneously for monitoring and recording.

The ICA-HM830W digital Pan/Tilt and zoom function can provide users 9 different video modes including:

D 360° Source image D 360°Table view D 180° double broad view D 180° double table broad view D 360° source view with 3 PTZ

Furthermore, the ICA-HM8 30W applies perspective correction software to eliminate the rounding normally associated with fisheye lenses and thus save lots of traditional mechanical Pan/Tilt maintenance cost.

The ICA-HM830W is highl y flexible to be a pplied in various kinds of IP surveil lance environment. It has built-in ICR (IR -cut filter Rem ovable) for day / night surveillance and is c ompatible with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless technology and WEP / W PA encryptions. In addition, the IC A-HM830W provides surveillance functions including DI/DO al arm, Micro SD card sup port for local stor age, and 2-Way audio that en ables audio communication between local and remote ICA-HM830W installed sites by connecting the e xternal microphone and speaker.

D Quad view D 360° broad view with 2 PTZ D 180° source view with 3 PTZ D 180° broad view with 2 PTZ

The ICA-HM830W is the pe rfect panoramic surveillance application for the hall way, stores or offices so customers do not need to install multiple IP cameras and thus can save l ots of installation and maintenance cost. More over, the ICA-HM830W can be manag ed by PLANET Cam Vie wer 3 IP-Surveill ance management software for multi-camera video surveillance application and provides monitoring, recording and event management functions to secure your property and life.
