1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™ High
Speed Dome Indoor/Outdoor Network Camera, Model 550260 (NTSC) or
Model 550277 (PAL). The ideal solution for your demanding security surveillance
and remote monitoring applications, the High Speed Dome Indoor/Outdoor
Network Camera can be used for day or night viewing, and comes in a rugged
tamper-proof enclosure for protection against dust and heavy jets of water, complete
with a heater and blower to keep it within proper operating temperatures.
The camera uses a Sony Super HAD CCD image sensor, providing TV-like quality
in bright or low light conditions, capturing color video in light conditions down to
0.0007 lux. It supports both Motion JPEG and MPEG4 video compression, allowing
you to use the right one for your particular needs. Motion JPEG is required as
evidence in many countries, whereas MPEG4 is a lot more efficient in the use of
network bandwidth and disk storage space.
As rugged as it is, the camera provides a precision-engineered 360˚-per-second
pan operation that can be configured to patrol (continuous panning) using the preset
function. It includes integrated motion detection that automatically disengages to
prevent false alarms, and a “grid setup” function typically available only with video
recording software.
Follow the instructions and procedures in this user manual — including the safety and
legal guidelines that follow — and enjoy the benefits of these additional popular
features.
