Introduction
1.1 Product Summary
This IP-CAMERA is a video surveillance device designed especially for CCTV
systems. It uses H.264 compression technology with a high-powered decoding chip,
and uses advanced IT technology, such as video encoding and decoding
technology, complies with the TCP/IP protocol, SoC, etc… to ensure this system is
stable and reliable. This unit consists of two parts: the IP-CAMERA device and
central management software. The central management software (CMS) allows you
to view and control multiple devices via internet or LAN and establishes a sound
surveillance system with unified management and remote operation for all the
devices in one network.
This product is widely used in banks, telecommunication systems, electricity power
departments, law systems, factories, storehouses, cities and so on. It is an ideal
choice for surveillance sites with middle or high risks.
