solutions. It adopts state of the art video processing chips. It utilizes most advanced
technologies, such as video encoding and decoding technology, 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
