1.2 Key Features

• Brilliant video quality

The network camera offers the highly efficient H.264 video compression, which drastically reduces

bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG is also supported

for increased flexibility.

• Triple streams

The network camera can deliver triple video streams simultaneously at full frame rate in all resolutions up

to 3MP (2045x1536) using Motion JPEG and H.264 (or MPEG-4). This means that several video streams

can be configured with different compression formats, resolutions and frame rates for different needs.

• Image setting adjustment

The network camera also enables users to adjust image settings such as contrast, brightness and

saturation to improve images before encoding takes place.

• Intelligent video capabilities

The network camera includes intelligent capabilities such as enhanced video motion detection. The

camera’s external inputs and outputs can be connected to devices such as sensors and relays, enabling

the system to react to alarms and activate lights or open/close doors.

• Micro-SD recording support

The network camera also supports a micro-SD memory slot for local recording with removable

storage.

• Improved security

The network camera logs all user access, and lists currently connected users. Also, its full frame rate video

can be provided over HTTPS.

• IR illumination

36 IR LED illuminators (940nm with low visibility) light up to 66 ft (20m); intensity; adjustable.

• Audio In/Out

1 Mic/1 Speaker (G.711)

• Power over Ethernet

Support for Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af) enables the unit, as well as the camera module

that is connected to it, to receive power through the same cable as for data transmission. This

makes for easy installation since no power outlet is needed.

• ONVIF

This is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, integrators, consultants,

and manufacturers to take advantage of the possibilities offered by network video technology.

ONVIF enables interoperability between different vendor products, increased flexibility, reduced

cost, and future-proof systems.

- IP address: Specify a unique IP address for your network camera.

- Subnet mask: Specify the mask for the subnet where the network camera is located.

- Default router: Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for

connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments.

Notes:

1. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP server can update a

DNS server, which then allows you to access the network camera by name (host name). If DHCP is

enabled and the unit cannot be accessed, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then

perform the installation again.

2. The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or

as soon as an IP address is set.

3. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.
