1.2 Features and Benefits
This IP device is a cutting-edge digital video transmission device. It can
compress and transmit real time images with outstanding images quality
(VGA, 640x480) at reasonable bandwidth through a standard TCP/IP
network. That is because it is Ethernet ready and has the powerful ARM9
SoC with excellent system performance to offer dual streams of
MPEG4/MJPEG, and both formats offer megapixel resolution. In addition,
with these powerful hardware platform, excellent SDK support and
powerful respective apparatuses (e.g. the transcoder), this IP device is your
best choice building up either conventional IP surveillance system or
intelligent IP surveillance system.
MPEG-4/MJPEG Dual Streaming
With excellent system performance, MPEG-4/MJPEG are supported. It
brings superior image quality 30 frames per second in full VGA
resolution.
Digital Time Code Embedded
The “Digital Time Code Embedded”function is to embed the
recording time in the MPEG bit stream. Therefore, each image frame
has its respective time when it was recorded. It is very useful when
users want to find the video at an exact time or between a certain time
intervals.
DDNS Supported
This IP device supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server), users
can set this IP device at a virtual domain name (such as
cam1.Taipei.xxx) at dynamic IP. Everyone can use the virtual domain
name to view the video anywhere that has the access to the internet.
Built-in Hardware Motion Detection
No more external motion sensors are required. Each IP device can be
set up to 3 detection areas. By tuning the object size and sensitivity, it
is very reliable to fit into your environment. Besides, hardware motion
detection delivers better sensitivity and responds faster than software
motion detection.
Bundle Powerful Surveillance Software
To extend the capabilities of the IP indoor cube dome series, a
powerful surveillance program is included in the package and is very

free to use. Users can easily utilize the existing PC to be a digital video
recorder. Schedule recording and manual recording keep every
important image recorded in the local hard disk. Reliable and accurate
motion detection with instant warning makes you responsive in every
condition. Quick and simple search and playback function lets you
easily find the images you want.
Software Development Kit Support
This IP device can be integrated or controlled by user’s application
program through the Streaming Library or ActiveX control. With its
high level programming interface, software developer’s time and
efforts to is highly reduced.
