1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
The iCanView110 is a state-of-the-art network camera (and simultaneously a 1-channel A/V server)
which transmits both video and audio data in real time with high-resolution at high frame rate. This
is possible through MPEG4 CODEC technology, which provides data transmission at high
compression rates with high data resolution via networks. The iCanView110 can be connected,
controlled and monitored from a remote location through an IP address. Unlike CCTV or DVR, the
iCanView110 is easy to install and also cuts costs and space without any additional installation.
Based on Embedded Software Solution (Embedded Web Server, Embedded Streaming Server,
Network Protocol), the iCanView110 ensures high performance and stability and provides
integration of various Internet solutions.
iCanView110 is a model having Ethernet interface while iCanView110W is a model having
embedded WiFi interface.
