Main features

Easy installation
The camera comes with an integrated wireless capability (IEEE802.11b/g/n) and web server function. Therefore, driver installation is not necessary. Thanks to P2P technology (peer-to-peer), the user can view the IPCam stream easily via a PC/smartphone/client software by simply entering the UID/password. The camera can automatically speak to the router via the network cable or WLAN. You can see images picked up by the camera as soon as the connection is made.

802.11 b/g/n WLAN connection available
The camera was designed to work with both wired networks as well as standard 802.11 b/g/n wireless networks. The camera has SSID filtering, powerful 64/128 bit encryption and the latest security standard for WPA encryption in order to protect against illegal access.

3GPP mobile surveillance
The camera allows you to view images on your mobile phone as a live video stream. It supports the telecommunication standard for the 3GPP streaming format. All 3G-enabled mobile devices are compatible. This means that the images can be viewed via your mobile phone‘s browser.
Simultaneous high-speed MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG
The camera enables the simultaneous live streaming of MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG. The camera has H.264/MPEG4 compression that compresses the video to make the transmission faster and more efficient. The H.264/MPEG4 and MJPEG image can be transmitted at 30 frames per second.

Simultaneous HTTP and RTSP streaming
The camera supports the HTTP and RTSP/RTP/RTCP protocol and supplies several HTTP and RTSP streams simultaneously.

Snapshot and record function
You can take a snapshot from the images sent to your PC by the camera and then save the image in JPG or BMP format. In addition, you can also record the video stream sent from the camera to your PC and save it in ASF format.

Motion sensor function
The camera can detect changes to the image being view-ed. As soon as there is a change, the selected actions are run by the software. You can find the camera’s options in the user software menu.

OSD function
The OSD function (on screen display) can show the system name, date and time, and user-defined info on the screen.

Authentication
You must enter your user ID and password in the authenti-cation window. The password prevents unregistered users access to your camera.

Multiple access
The camera enables access for up to 4 users simulta-neously. Please note that the output of moving images can decrease as more users connect to the camera simul-taneously.

Infrared night vision
The camera uses infrared LEDs. When the environment is dark, the LEDs activate automatically via a light sensor. The video switches from colour to black & white. The range is approx. 11 m. It is possible to switch the LED ope-ration from “auto” to “manual”.

Adapter
When using the power adapter, make sure that the nomi-nal voltage matches that of the device to avoid damage due to incorrect use of the power supply.
