Features and Benefits
Simple To Use
The Internet Camera is a standalone system with built-in CPU
requiring no special hardware or software such as PC frame
grabber cards. The Internet Camera supports both ActiveX mode
(for Internet Explorer users) and Java mode (for Internet Explorer
and Netscape Navigator users). Therefore, all that is required is a
web browser software such as Internet Explorer 5.0 or above or
Netscape 6.0 or above. Just plug and view the picture from your
Internet Camera with a valid IP Address.
Next-Generation PoE Technology
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE, IEEE 802.3af standard) eliminates
the need of 110/220 AC power for the wired LAN devices. With
this innovative technology, the network manager can deploy these
Ethernet-powered devices using only a single CAT5 Ethernet
cable that carries both power and data to each device. This
enables the user to build a network with greater flexibility in the
Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) environments.
Support Variety of Platforms
The ICA-100PE supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail,
HTTP and other Internet related protocols, and can be utilized in
a mixed operating system environment such as Windows, Unix,
and Mac. It can be integrated easily into other www/Intranet
applications.
