1.3 Features and Benefits
MPEG4/MJPEG Dual-codec Supported
The camera provides you with excellent images by the MPEG-4/ MJPEG dual-codec selectable technology,
allowing you to adjust image size & quality, as well as the bit rate according to the networking environment.
2-way Audio Capability
The built-in microphone of the camera provides on-the-spot audio via the Internet, allowing you to monitor the
on-site voice. In addition, you can connect an external speaker to the camera so that you may speak to the people
at camera view.
Day & Night Surveillance Supported
The seven Infrared LEDs around the standard lens assembly enable the camera to capture crystal clear images in
dark environments or at night. When the Light Sensor detects the environmental light level as being too low, the
camera captures the images in black & white mode with these infrared LEDs.
Optimal Viewing
With the pan/tile functions, you can easily monitor everywhere via the camera by moving the camera lens to the
left/right (165/165 degrees) or up/down (90/15 degrees). In addition, you can assign up to eight positions for the
camera, enabling you to move the camera lens to the desired position quickly.
