Features and Benefits 

 

This is a cutting-edge digital video surveillance camera. It can compress and transmit real time 

images with outstanding image quality (30 FPS @ VGA, 640 x 480) through a standard TCP/IP 

network. This camera is your best choice to build an intelligent IP surveillance system. 

 

H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG Triple Codec Dual Streaming 

This device supports 3 compression formats, H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG. It brings superior 

image quality at 30 frames per second up to a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. 

 

Built-in Hardware Motion Detection 

No more external motion sensors are required. You may assign up to 3 video motion detection 

areas. By tuning the object size and sensitivity, it will reliably detect objects passing though is 

view. Hardware motion detection also offers better sensitivity and faster response time than 

software motion detection.   

 

Powerful Bundled Surveillance Software 

To extend the capabilities of the IP Box Camera series, a powerful surveillance program is 

included in the package for free. Users can easily use an existing PC as a digital video recorder. 

Scheduled recording and manual recording keep every important video recorded in the local 

hard disk. Reliable and accurate motion detection with instant warning enables immediate 

response in every condition. Quick and simple search and playback function lets you easily find 

the images and video you want. 

 

Software Development Kit Support 

This IP Cube Camera can be integrated or controlled by applications from third party software 

developers. Software developers can save considerable efforts by using our Streaming Library 

or ActiveX control. Please contact us for details on integration support. 

 

Digital Time Code Embedded 

The “Digital Time Code Embedded” function records video time in the video stream. Therefore, 

each image frame is marked with its original recording time. It is very useful when users want 

to find the video at an exact time or between a certain time intervals.
