1. Introduction

The Day & Night IP Network Camera is designed with ease-of-use firmly in mind.

The camera can be easily added to a local area network, where it can be accessed

within  the  LAN  or  anywhere  with  internet  and/or  phone  access  using  the  included

CamView software. There is no need for complicated DNS names, firewall settings, or

anything else. Just plug it in and it works.

With 3GPP/ISMA support, you can view the video from the IP camera on any 3G

mobile phone, any time, any place you have phone access. The special mobile phone

software is designed to access the camera without the need for a fixed IP address.

The video settings, including frame rate, resolution, and bandwidth, can be different

for use with PC or mobile phone monitoring and viewing.

For  indoor  surveillance  and  remote  monitoring,  the  Day  &  Night  IP  Network

Camera  provides  the  best  image  quality  and  performance  in  its  class.  The  Day  &

Night  IP  Network  Camera  also  provides  the  best  bandwidth  efficiency,  offering

640x480  resolution,  30  fps  frame  rate,  and  real  MPEG4  image  compression  ability.

The built-in microphone enables remote users to not only view, but also listen, to the

monitored area.

Equipped  with  a  very  low-light  sensitive  sensor  and  infrared  LEDs,  the  Day  &

Night  IP  Network  Camera  can  "see"  in  any  lighting  condition,  seamlessly  switching

between day and night modes depending on the detected light level.

The  camera  features  a  variety  of  storage  options,  including  the  use  of  Network

Attached  Storage  devices.  The  software  includes  scheduling  functions,  which  can

activate  camera  recording  based  on  a  fixed  time  or  triggered  by  motion  detection.

With  a  built-in  web  functionality,  you  can  modify  the  camera  can  be  managed  from

any PC or Mac using a standard web browser.

The Day & Night IP Network Camera provides both wireless IEEE 802.11 b/g and

wired Ethernet network interfaces for flexible installation options. It supports the WEP

and  WPA  (Wi-Fi  Protected  Access)  security  modes  to  provide  the  best  security  for

wireless networks.

The Day & Night IP Network Camera includes a motion detection function. Users

can easily setup this option and receive the alert notifications with a snapshot image

through email and/or ftp whenever motion events are detected.

The  Day  &  Night  IP  Network  Camera  is  ideal  for  a  variety  of  personal  and

professional applications.
