1. Introduction
With the experience accumulated from the IP surveillance product design, PLANET proudly
introduce our Dual Mode CMOS Internet Camera, the ICA-151, to you. The ICA-151 is an
all-functioned network camera that could express high quality video and audio to any corner
in the world.
Inside ICA-151, there is a build-in microprocessor which is dedicated for video and audio
processing. With this microprocessor, the ICA-151 could deliver MPEG-4 and M-JPEG
video streaming at the same time, manipulate the audio captured by its microphone or even
play the sound sent out by the remote administrator. Furthermore, the ICA-151 also
supports the cell phone user. The 3GPP feature lets the administrator watch the video just
by clicking on a few buttons on his cell phone.
ICA-151 could work with Cam Viewer, a multi-camera video surveillance application that
enables you to set up a comprehensive and effective surveillance system quickly and easily.
The Cam Viewer works with PLANET network cameras and video server to provide video
monitoring, recording and event management functions.
The thin, light, fancy and fashion style makes the ICA-151 suit for many occasions. You
could use it for home security purpose or as a professional surveillance camera. You might
just put it on your desktop or mount it on the ceiling of your office.
