I. Introduction

• What is WebEye B101 ?

The WebEye B101 is a network dome camera server solution with an integrated Internet server, image
compression device, flash memory, and many other features. No other hardware is necessary for use. The
WebEye relay video source from a dome camera to network and provides real time images over networks and
the Internet. Simply provide power and connect LAN cable and video cable to the WebEye. WebEye utilizes
Wavelet image compression and Linux operating system. Wavelet and Linux enable WebEye to transfer high
quality images faster and with a greater degree of reliability than standard JPEG systems.

Features and Benefits

•

Ease of Use – WebEye requires either Netscape Navigator 4.7 (or higher) or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0
(or higher) for use. Windows 2000 is recommended for best results. Connect WebEye to the Internet and it is
ready for use.

Compatible with most Systems and Protocols – WebEye supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP, HTTP and
other Internet-related protocols. In addition, the WebEye can be used in mixed operating system environments,
such as Windows, UNIX, Macintosh and OS/2. WebEye also integrates easily into other Internet/Intranet
applications and CGI scripts.

Simple Administration - WebEye can be configured and managed directly from its own web page. Moreover,
as new upgrades become available, it is easy to upgrade all WebEye camera products remotely over the
network.

Wavelet Image Format - Unlike many other products that need to fracture image files prior to broadcast, the
WebEye delivers complete, highly compressed pictures in Wavelet format. Wavelet has image compression
rates 30-300% higher than standard JPEG. By utilizing Wavelet, image file sizes are much smaller than
conventional camera servers and Wavelet's image quality is superior to other camera servers as well. Wavelet
can transmit up to 123 frames per second.

External Device Connection - External devices such as IR-sensors, switches and external video input can be
connected to WebEye via the auxiliary Input/Output port.

User’s Programmable Space – WebEye contains 4.5MB of configurable Flash Memory for
user-programmable and user-configurable space. Because WebEye also acts as a server, this space can be
used to create a personal web page.

Embedded Linux Operating System – WebEye uses an embedded Linux operating system within its 32bit
RISC CPU. Linux is based on UNIX and is one of the most stable operating systems available. There is very

little chance of the operating system crashing.

Yellow LED : This LED indicates the status of data transmission. After power is supplied, it is on for the first

4-5 seconds and then it goes off. And it blinks continuously when a user access WebEye and WebEye
transmits data.

Green LED : This LED indicates the status of networking. After power is supplied, it is on for the first 1 -2

seconds, and then it blinks once at every one second as long as the network is connected.

4) Descriptions on DIP Switches
This is to designate video signal termination. If you want to monitor real time image through a CCTV monitor

as well as WebEye, you may connect a dome camera to ‘Video Input ’ connector and a CCTV monitor to
‘Video Output’ connector. In this case, you should decide which one is terminal of video signal. WebEye is
not affected if a CCTV monitor is designated as terminal. If you connect a dome camera to ‘Video Input’ and
monitor real time video only through a PC, place the first DIP switch (marked with No. 1) at upper position
‘ON’. If you monitor real time video through a CCTV monitor as well as a PC, connect a dome camera to
‘Video Input ’ and a monitor to ‘Video Output’. And place the first DIP switch (marked with No. 1) at lower
position ‘OFF’. If the CCTV monitor has a DIP switch and it is configurable the termination, you may change
the termination from the CCTV monitor to WebEye such as the DIP switch in WebEye ‘ON ’ and the DIP
switch in a CCTV monitor ‘OFF’. However a CCTV monitor is generally set as termination of the video
signal.
