IPCAM is an integrated POE Network Camera solution. It combines a high quality digital video
Camera with network connectivity and a powerful web server to bring clear to your desktop from
anywhere on your local network or over the Internet.
The basic function of IPCAM is transmitting remote video on the IP network. The high quality
video image can be transmitted with 30fps speed on the LAN/WAN by using MJPEG hardware
compression technology.
The IPCAM is based on the TCP/IP standard. There is a WEB server inside which could support
Internet Explore. Therefore the management and maintenance of your device is simplified by
using the network to achieve the remote configuration, start-up and to upgrade the firmware.
You can use this IPCAM to monitor special places such as your home and your office. Also
controlling the IPCAM and managing image are simple by clicking the website through the
network.
