Summary
LILIN IP Cameras adopt the latest compression technologies, which allow multiple streaming of H.264 or
MJPEG formats in different resolutions. LILIN’s multiple streaming technology transmits digital video at various
bit rates and frame rates to suit both high and low bandwidth network environments.
Our cameras are equipped with progressive-scan, megapixel CMOS sensors that provide superior video
quality. LILIN’s digital signal processing (DSP) technologies support Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), 3D noise
reduction, Backlight Compensation (BLC), ePTZ, region of interest (ROI), adjustable shutter speed, and privacy
masking features for almost every installation environment.
The built-in intelligent video analytics engine enables audio and motion detection. Other useful features include
two-way audio, SD card recording, mobile device live access, email notification with JPEG snapshots, and
JPEG-to-FTP upload.
LILIN cameras, with their latest technologies, provide megapixel H.264 video, outstanding DSP capacities,
built-in video analytics, built-in PoE support, and ONVIF compliant (select models only).
The powerful combination of LILIN Navigator software and IP cameras will maximize your system performance
and deliver an integrated system solution for your migration to IP videos.
