Introduction
1
This Chapter provides details of the Network Camera's features, components and capabilities.
Overview
The Network Camera has an Integrated Microcomputer and a high quality CMOS digital­Image-Sensor, enabling it to display high quality live streaming video over your wired LAN, the Internet, and for the Network Camera, an 802.11g Wireless LAN.
Using enhanced MPEG-4 technologies, the Network Camera is able to stream high quality video and audio directly to your PC. The high compression capabilities of MPEG-4 reduce network bandwidth requirements to amazingly low levels.
With built-in PIR sensor and White Light LEDs, the Network camera can provide home security and illumination around 5 meters long under low light conditions in a simple, economical manner.
A convenient and user-friendly Windows program is provided for both viewing and recording video. If necessary, you can even view video using your Web Browser, on a variety of software platforms.
Figure 1: Network Camera
Features
• Standalone Design. The Network Camera is a standalone system with built-in CPU and
Video encoder. It requires only a power source and a connection to your LAN or Wireless LAN.
1
•
Dual Video Support. The Network Camera can support both MEPG4 and MJEPG video
for different image compression.
Stream Live Video to Multiple Users. The MPEG4 encoder and HTTP server built
•
into the camera generate a ready-to-view video stream. Just connect to the camera using your Web browser or the provided Windows utility to view live video.
Suitable for Home, Business or Public Facilities. Whether for Home, Business or
•
Public Facility surveillance, or just for entertainment and fun, the Network Camera has the features you need.
• Multi-Protocol Support. Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP (E-mail), HTTP and
other Internet related protocols, the Network Camera can be easily integrated into your existing network.
Easy Configuration. A Windows-based Wizard is provided for initial setup.
•
Subsequent administration and management can be performed using a standard web browser. The administrator can configure and manage the Network Camera via the LAN or Internet.
• Viewing/Recording Utility. A user-friendly Windows utility is provided for viewing
live video. For periods when you are absent, or for scheduled recording, this application also allows you to record video to an ASF file on your PC. The recorded files are in a standard Windows Media format, and thus usable by a wide variety of programs if required.
• Motion Detection. This feature can detect motion in the field of view. The Network
Camera will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of large objects. This function only works indoors due to the sensitivity of the CMOS sensor. When motion is detection, an E-mail alert can be sent, or some other action may be triggered.
• Flexible Scheduling. You can limit access to the video stream to specified times using
a flexible scheduling system. The Motion Detection feature can also have its own schedule, so it is active only when required.
• Syslog Support. If you have a Syslog Server, the Network Camera can send its log data
to your Syslog Server.
Audio Support. You can listen as well as look! Audio is encoded with the video if
•
desired. You can use either the built-in microphone or an external microphone.
PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor) Support. The Network Camera is embedded with an
•
PIR Sensor, which senses infrared light radiating from human bodies in its field of view. This feature is very helpful in enhancing home security syst ems.
• White Light LEDs Support. Each Network Camera has 4 white light LEDs. The LEDs
can provide illumination around 5 meters long, that can help to output a better video quality while under low-light conditions such as indoors, on cloudy days, or in the morning or evening. The white light can be used to deliver warning as well.
Internet Features
• User-definable HTTP port number. This allows Internet Gateways to use "port
mapping" so the Network Camera and a Web Server can share the same Internet IP address.
SMB Client Support. With Server Message Block Protocol (SMB protocol) support, the
•
client applications in a computer can read, create, and update files on the remote server.
DDNS Support. In order to view video over the Internet, users must know the Internet
•
IP address of the gateway used by the Network Camera. But if the Gateway has a dynamic IP address, DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is required. Since many existing Gateways do not support DDNS, this function is incorporated into the Network Camera.
2
•
NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support. NTP allows the Network Camera to
calibrate its internal clock from an Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the time stamp on Video from the Network Camera will be correct.
Security Features
• User Authentication. If desired, access to live video can be restricted to known users.
Users will have to enter their username and password before being able to view the video stream. Up to 10 users can view the video simultaneously.
• Password-Protected Configuration. Configuration data can be password protected, so
that it only be changed by the Network Camera Administrator.
Wireless Features (Wireless Model Only)
• Standards Compliant. The Network Camera complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS)
specifications for Wireless LANs.
Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Standards. The Network Camera supports both
•
802.11b and 802.11g standards.
Speeds to 54Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are supported.
•
Wired and Wireless Network Support. The Network Camera supports either wired or
•
wireless transmission.
WEP Support. Full WEP support (64/128 Bit) on the Wireless interface is provided.
•
WPA/WPA2 Support. The WPA Personal/WPA2 Personal standard is also suppo rted,
•
allowing advanced encryption of wireless data.
WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any
•
device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wireless Access Point, or entering a PIN code if there's no button.
