1Introduction
1.1 Summarization
This device (short for IP-CAM) is designed for high performance CCTV solutions. It
utilizes most advanced technologies, such as video encoding and decoding technology
and complies with the TCP/IP protocol, SoC., etc to ensure this system more stable and
reliable. This unit consists of two parts: the IP-CAM device and central management
software (short for CMS). The CMS centralizes all devices together via internet or LAN
and establishes a sound surveillance system to realize unified management and remote
operation to all devices in one network.
This product is widely used in banks, telecommunication systems, electricity power
departments, law systems, factories, storehouses, uptowns, etc. In addition, it is also an
ideal choice for surveillance sites with middle or high risks.
