Internet Camera Features
1 What is an Internet Camera?
The Internet Camera is a standalone system connecting directly to an Ethernet or
Fast Ethernet network and supported by the wireless transmission based on the IEEE
802.11g standard. It is different from the conventional PC Camera, the Internet Camera
is an all-in-one system with built-in CPU and web-based solutions providing a low cost
solution that can transmit high quality video images for monitoring. The Internet Camera
can be managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any PC/Notebook over the
Intranet or Internet via a Web browser.
2 What is the maximum number of users that can be
allowed to access DCS-950G simultaneously?
The maximum number of users that can log onto the Internet Camera at the same time
is 8. Please keep in mind the overall performance of the transmission speed will slow
down when multiple users are logged on.
3 What algorithm is used to compress the digital
image?
The Internet Camera utilizes MPEG-4 Simple Profile image compression technology to
provide high quality images. MPEG-4 Simple Profile is a standard for image compression
and can be applied to various web browser and application software without the need
to install extra software.
4 Can I capture still images from the Internet
Camera?

snapshots using the snapshot feature on the Home page. When viewing this page,
