1. Overview
Level1’s FCS-1131 is a 2 Megapixel PoE Network Camera, ideal for video surveillance
systems where clear images and greater image detail are required. It is the perfect solution
for securing areas where high quality identification is needed, such as airports, passport
control and casinos.
The FCS-1131 Network Camera delivers HDTV performance in compliance with the SMPTE
standard for installations that demand the highest resolution, perfect focus and good color
representation. It delivers HDTV 1080p or 720p resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio and supports
both H.264 and Motion JPEG. The camera has a built-in slot for an Mirco SD/SDHC card,
enabling local storage of several days of recording, without any external equipment.
The integrated BNC connector allows the FCS-1131 to be connected directly to an analog
monitor provides enhanced flexibility and usability and ease of installation. Together with
PoE, activity adaptive streaming, and the included 64-CH LevelOne IP CamSecure
surveillance management software, the FCS-1131 is indisputably the top choice for reliable
