1.3 Features and Benefits 

 

MPEG4/MJPEG Dual-codec Supported 

The camera provides you with excellent images by the MPEG4/ 
MJPEG dual-codec selectable technology, allowing you to adjust 
image size and quality, and bit rate according to the networking 
environment. 

 

2-way Audio Capability 

The built-in microphone of the camera provides on-the-spot audio 
via the Internet, allowing you to monitor the on-site voice. In addition, 
you can connect an external speaker to the camera to speak 
through the camera.

 

 

Day & Night Surveillance Supported 

The seven Infrared LEDs around the standard lens assembly enable 
the camera to capture crystal clear images in the dark environment 
or at night. When the Light Sensor detects the environmental light 
level becomes low, the camera captures the images in black & white 
mode using these infrared LEDs. 

 

Optimal Viewing 

With the pan/tile functions, you can easily monitor everywhere via 
the camera by moving the camera lens to the left/right (165/165 
degrees) or up/down (90/15 degrees). In addition, you can assign up 
to eight positions for the camera, enabling you to move the camera 
lens to the desired position quickly. 

 

Supports RTSP 

The camera supports RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol), which 
is a technology that allows you to view streaming media via the 
network. You can view the real-time video with the Quick Time 
player or RealPlayer. To view the real-time streaming image on your 
computer, open the Web browser and enter the RTSP link:
