Introduction
ThisChapterprovidesdetailsoftheiCamera2'sfeatures, componentsand
capabilities.
Overview
TheiCamera2hasanIntegratedMicrocomputerand ahighqualityCMOS Sensor,enabling it
todisplayhighqualitylivestreaming videooveryourwiredLAN, theInternet,and forthe
iCamera2,an802.11NWireless LAN.
UsingenhancedH.264technologies, theiCamera2isabletostream highqualityvideoand
audiodirectlytoyourPC.ThehighcompressioncapabilitiesofH.264 reduce network
bandwidthrequirementstoamazinglylowlevels.
Furthermore,withthebuilt-ininfraredLEDs,theWireless IPcameracanprovideillumination
around5meterslongunderlowlightconditionsinasimple, economicalmanner.
Features
•StandaloneDesign. TheiCamera2isastandalonesystemwithbuilt-inCPUandVideo
encoder. Itrequiresonlyapowersource and aconnectiontoyourLAN orWireless LAN.
•DualVideoSupport. TheiCamera2cansupportH.264and MJEPG videofordifferent
imagecompression.
•StreamLive VideotoMultipleUsers. Thevideoencoderand HTTPserverbuiltinto
thecameragenerateaready-to-viewvideostream.Justconnecttothecamerausingyour
