This Chapter provides details of the FCS-0040/WCS-0040's features, components and capabilities.
Overview
The FCS-0040/WCS-0040 has an Integrated Microcomputer and a high quality Mega Pixel Omni Vision CMOS Sensor, enabling
it to display high quality live streaming video over your wired LAN, the Internet, and for the FCS-0040/WCS-0040, an 802.11N
Wireless LAN.
Using enhanced H.264 technologies, the FCS-0040/WCS-0040 is able to stream high quality video and audio directly to your PC.
The high compression capabilities of H.264 reduce network bandwidth requirements to amazingly low levels.
A convenient and user-friendly Windows program is provided for both viewing and recording video. If necessary, you can even
view video using your Web Browser, on a variety of software platforms.
Features
•
Standalone Design.
The FCS-0040/WCS-0040 is a standalone system with built-in CPU and Video encoder. It requires
only a power source and a connection to your LAN or Wireless LAN.
•
Triple Video Support.
The FCS-0040/WCS-0040 can support H.264, MPEG4 and MJEPG video for different image
compression.
•
Stream Live Video to Multiple Users.
The video encoder and HTTP/HTTPS server built into the camera generate a
ready-to-view video stream. Just connect to the camera using your Web browser or the provided Windows utility to view live
video.
•
Suitable for Home, Business or Public Facilities
. Whether for Home, Business or Public Facility surveillance, or just
for entertainment and fun, the FCS-0040/WCS-0040 has the features you need.
•
Multi-Protocol Support.
Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP (E-mail), HTTP and other Internet related protocols, the
FCS-0040/WCS-0040 can be easily integrated into your existing network.
•
Easy Configuration.
A Windows-based Wizard is provided for initial setup. Subsequent administration and management
can be performed using a standard web browser. The administrator can configure and manage the FCS-0040/WCS-0040 via
the LAN or Internet.
•
Viewing/Recording Utility.
A user-friendly Windows utility is provided for viewing live video. For periods when you are
absent, or for scheduled recording, this application also allows you to export video to your PC. The recorded files are in a
standard Windows Media format, and thus usable by a wide variety of programs if required.
•
Motion Detection.
This feature can detect motion in the field of view. The FCS-0040/WCS-0040 will compare consecutive
frames to detect changes caused by the movement of large objects. This function only works indoors due to the sensitivity of
the CMOS sensor. When motion is detection, an E-mail alert can be sent, or some other action may be triggered.
•
Flexible Scheduling.
You can limit access to the video stream to specified times using a flexible scheduling system. The
Motion Detection feature can also have its own schedule, so it is active only when required.
•
Syslog Support.
If you have a Syslog Server, the FCS-0040/WCS-0040 can send its log data to your Syslog Server.
•
Audio Support.
You can listen as well as look! Audio is encoded with the video if desired. You can use the built-in
microphone.
Internet Features
•
User-definable HTTP/HTTPS port number
. This allows Internet Gateways to use "port mapping" so the FCS-
0040/WCS-0040 and a Web Server can share the same Internet IP address.
•
DDNS Support.
In order to view video over the Internet, users must know the Internet IP address of the gateway used by
the FCS-0040/WCS-0040. But if the Gateway has a dynamic IP address, DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is required. Since many
existing Gateways do not support DDNS, this function is incorporated into the FCS-0040/WCS-0040.
•
NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support.
NTP allows the FCS-0040/WCS-0040 to calibrate its internal clock from an
Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the time stamp on Video from the FCS-0040/WCS-0040 will be correct.
