2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 Product Introduction
The Day & Night IP Camera is a high performance camera, with simple
connection- no PC required. It can be viewed and controlled from the PC site using
the IE browser or apply the free bundled 16-CH network monitoring software, to
enable real-time remote site control and supports 3GPP for mobile surveillance.
