INTRODUCTION
NetCam2 is a network-based high-resolution digital network camera for CCTV
applications. It contains an integrated Internet server and connects directly to an
Ethernet network. No other hardware is necessary. NetCam2 provides real-time
color pictures from up to two cameras over the Internet using an image
compression format.
1.1
Description
The microprocessor-based NetCam2 contains a digital color camera, web server
functionality, image compression hardware and physical Ethernet connection. It
requires power and a LAN cable connection.
Wavelet image format
Images are generated in Wavelet format, which progressively generates pictures
from low rates of resolution to reduce waiting time for users. The only software
required is Netscape Navigator 4.7 or above and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x
or above.
Compatible with most systems and protocols
NetCam2 supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other
Internet related protocols; and can be used in mixed operating system
environments such as Windows, Unix, Macintosh and OS/2. It integrates with
other WWW/Intranet applications.
Web-based system management
Using a standard Web browser, NetCam2 is configured and managed directly
from its own Web pages. As new firmware release becomes available, NetCam2
camera products can be upgrade remotely via the network.
Indoor/Outdoor use
The operating temperature range of the camera supports indoor application only.
Recommendation:
Use a dedicated outdoor camera that connect to the NetCam2’s input for serving
an external cameras. Also the internal camera can be disabled. That channel is
then available for a second external camera.
