Summary
LILIN P2 and Z2 series IP cameras are high performance 2MP and 5MP day and night auto focus camera
range. LILIN IP Cameras adopt the latest H.265 compression technologies, which allow multiple streaming of
H.264/H.265 or MJPEG formats in 1080p and 5MP 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.
LILIN IP cameras are equipped with an intelligent video analytics (IVS) engine that features tripwire, sound
detection, tampering detection, and motion detection, in which advanced alarm information can be integrated
by other applications. LILIN IP cameras provide various alarm notifications including SD card recording,
mobile device live access, email notification with JPEG snapshots, MQTT, SNMP, HTTP push notification, and
JPEG-to-FTP upload.
The 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.
