Introduction
The ALS-7111/7111P/7111W Video Servers convert any digital camera into a full
functional IP camera. You can obtain all of the benefits that digital technology offers
without scrapping your investment in an analog system. These products digitize
analog video signals and will send digital images directly over any IP network, such
as LAN, intranet and Internet. The ALS-7111/7111P/7111W turns an analog video
system into a network surveillance system enabling users to view live images using a
Web browser or video management software on any local or remote computer on a
network. Moreover, the ALS-7111/7111P/7111W MPEG4 Video Server supports
3GPP real-time video streams that allow you to monitor your home or office
environment using a 3G mobile phone. The ALS-7111/7111P/7111W MPEG4 Video
Server has a built-in CPU and the webpage server enables you to secure people and
property, or monitor equipment and facilities remotely from anywhere there is a
networked computer.
Features and Advantages
The ALS-7111 MPEG4 Video Server is a stand-alone facility and operates smoothly
without the need to install additional software or hardware. All that is needed is a PC
equipped with IE browser (6.0 or above) connected to the Video Server via the
network to monitor pre-set places remotely. The ALS-7111/7111P/7111W MPEG4
Video Server provides great remote accessibility of people, property, and assets just
as though you were really there.
The ALS-7111 MPEG4 Video Server features:
 MPEG4/MJPEG dual video compression mode and dual coding mechanism for
multiple applications;
 Support of 3GPP real-time video streams that allow you to control home or
office environments using a 3G mobile phone;

transmit real-time according to pre-set trigger commands;
 Built-in webpage server that allows easy control via the Internet;
 Dynamic IP domain name support for use of the product at locations where a
fixed IP is not available;
 Access setting by level to ensure security and protection of life and property;
 Elegant style suitable for homes, studios, offices, clinics, and retail shops;
 Power Over Ethernet version (ALS-7111P) and Wireless Version (ALS-7111W)
