1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Internet Camera. This Camera sends live video through the
Internet to a web browser or camera viewer anywhere in the world! This compact,
self-contained unit lets you keep an eye on your home, your kids, and your
workplace—whatever’s important to you.
How does the Camera do all of this? Unlike standard “web cams” that require an attached PC,
the Internet Camera can connect directly to a network. The Motion JPEG video compression
produces a high quality, high-frame rate, 640 x 480 video stream.
The included Viewer & Recorder utility lets you record the video stream to your local hard
drive, “live” or on a predetermined schedule.
