CDIH109, 2 Megapixel, 30fps@1920x1080
• Micro-SD Recording support
The Network Camera also supports a micro-SD memory slot for local recording with removable
storage.
• Improved Security
The Network Camera logs all user access, and lists currently connected users. Also, its full frame
rate video can be provided over HTTPS.
• Power over Ethernet
Support for Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af) enables the unit, as well as the camera module
that is connected to it, to receive power through the same cable as for data transmission. This
makes for easy installation since no power outlet is needed.
• ONVIF
This is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, integrators, consultants,
and manufacturers to take advantage of the possibilities offered by network video technology.
ONVIF enables interoperability between different vendor products, increased flexibility, reduced
cost, and future-proof systems.
