1.2 Features and Benefits
The IP Camera is a cutting-edge digital video transmission device. It can
compress and transmit real time images with outstanding images quality at
reasonable bandwidth through a standard TCP/IP network. That’s because it
is Ethernet (LAN and WAN) ready and has the powerful ARM9 SoC and
the MPEG-4 compression ASIC inside. In addition, with these powerful
hardware platform, excellent SDK support and powerful respective
apparatuses (eg. the transcoder), this IP Camera is your best choice building
up either conventional IP surveillance system or intelligent IP surveillance
system.
Real-time MPEG-4 Compression
With hardware MPEG-4 compression chip inside, the composite video
inputs can be efficiently compressed into MPEG-4 bit stream without any
delay. The ASIC base compression engine can support CIF resolution.
QoS Enabled Video Streaming
For real-time video streaming requirements, the IP camera implemented
the 802.1pQ features inside the SoC as the streaming engine to make sure
the video streaming package is forwarded faster than normal TCP/UDP
packet.
Automatic Frame Rate Control
The IP Camera supports automatic/manual streaming frame rate control,
especially for multiple clients concurrent access the same video stream in
different network bandwidth.
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.
Build-in LAN and WAN (Low Latency PPPoE Supported) Ports
The IP Camera provides two RJ-45 connectors. One is WAN and the other
is LAN. The WAN port connects to the internet and LAN port connects to
the local network. Since the internet’s bandwidth is very critical, the WAN
port is equipped with a low latency PPPoE (Point-to-Point over Ethernet)
which has excellent transmission speed and enables the IP Camera to
connect to an ADSL or a cable modem.

1-3
DDNS Supported
The IP Camera supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server), users
can set the IP Camera 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.
Build-in Hardware Motion Detection
No more external motion sensors are required. Each IP Camera 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 respond faster than software motion
detection.
Bundle Powerful Surveillance Software
To extend the capabilities of the IP Camera, a powerful surveillance
program is included in the package and is totally 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
The IP Camera 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.

5. WAN port
The IP Camera connects to the WAN (wide area network) via a
standard RJ45 connector. Supporting NWAY, this IP camera can
auto detect the speed of local network segment
(10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet). The WAN port is for FTTH
and can connect to a xDSL or cable modem.
