INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the SP5530 Pan/Tilt Internet Camera, a standalone
system that can be connected directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet standard.
With support for latest MPEG-4 technology, you can record streaming video that
utilizes high quality MPEG-4 images to your hard drive, enable motion detection
and set up automated email alerts for security. The built-in microphone provides
you with the audio function, allowing you to “watch” and “listen” from the
camera. Compared with the conventional PC Camera, the camera features a
built-in CPU and web-based solutions that can provide a cost-effective solution to
transmit the real-time high-quality video images and sounds synchronously for
monitoring.
The camera can be managed remotely, so that you can use a web browser to
access and control it from any notebook/desktop PC over the Intranet or Internet.
The simple installation procedures and web-based interface allow you to integrate
it into your network easily. With comprehensive applications supported, the
Internet camera is your best solution for remote monitoring and video images with
high quality and high performance.
1.1. Features and Benefits
Simple to Use
The SP5530 Pan/Tilt Internet Camera is a standalone system with built-in CPU
with no special hardware (such as a PC frame capture card) or software required.
The camera supports DirectX 9.0; therefore, only web browser software such as
Internet Explorer 5.0 or above is required. Once you have a valid IP Address, just
connect it and you can view the picture and receive sound from your camera. In
addition, the camera stand allows you to adjust the camera for optimal viewing
angle. You can tilt the camera right or left (up to 170/ 170 degrees) and forward
or backward (up to 45/90 degrees).
Support Variety of Platforms
The camera supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other Internet
related protocols. It can be utilized in a mixed operating system environment,
including Windows 98SE/ME/ 2000/XP. Moreover, it can be integrated easily into
other www/ Intranet applications.

Web Configuration
Applying a standard web browser, the administrator can configure and manage
the camera directly from its own web page via the Intranet or Internet. Up to 64
user names and passwords are permitted with privilege setting controlled by the
administrator.
Remote Utility
The powerful IPView Pro application assigns the administrator with a pre-defined
user ID and password, allowing the administrator to modify the camera settings
from the remote site via Intranet or Internet. When new firmware is available, you
can also upgrade remotely over the network for added convenience. Users are
also allowed to monitor the image and take snapshots.
Broad Range of Applications
With today’s high-speed Internet services, the camera provides the ideal solution
for live video images over the Intranet or Internet for remote monitoring. The
camera allows remote access from a web browser for live image viewing and
allows the administrator to manage and control the camera anywhere and anytime
in the world. The camera can be applied to monitor various objects and places
such as homes, offices, banks, hospitals, child-care centers, amusement parks
and other various industrial and public locations. The camera can also be used
for intruder detection; in addition, it can capture still images for archiving and
many more applications.
