•Compressor is a Network Video Encoder that transmits real-time high-resolution digital
video and audio data with H.264 high compression rate over the Internet or Intranet.
•Compressor supports decoder mode that takes a H.264 stream from our IP camera or
video server via an Ethernet network and converts it in real-time with high quality analog
video signals. This allows analog video devices such as TV system, analog monitors or
existing analog video switches.
•Compressor contains digital video/audio compressor, web server and network interface.
Users can simply connect power source and network cable for operation. Additional
operation equipments or programs are not required.
•Compressor enables real-time web browser monitoring anytime and anywhere. It can be
installed in various places, including child care facilities, education institutions,
amusement parks, shopping malls, tourist attractions, construction and production sites,
warehouses, and roads.
•Easy to use - Compressor does not require an additional PC for operation. Users can
monitor video /audio data captured by the Compressor through your current PC. User
can get direct access to the data through Web Browsers (i.e. Internet Explorer or Firefox).
An IP address just needs to be assigned upon the first installation of the Compressor.
•High compatibility – Compressor supports TCP/IP for networking, SMTP for e-mail
exchange, and FTP protocol for file Transmission. Other online communication protocols
such as IMCP, DHCP, and HTTP are also supported. Thus, Compressor users can use
any OS out of Window, Unix, Macintosh, and OS/2 to access the system.
•Simple environment setting - Internet Explorer or Firefox can be used to modify user
environment settings for the Compressor.
•Embedded Linux O/S - Compressor uses the newest, leading networking technology.
Digital Watchdog optimized Linux with a 32-bit RISC CPU for the operation of
Compressor.
