1.2 Overview
Compact Wireless Panoramic Camera for Exceptional Surveillance
PLANET ICA-HM830W 2mega-pixel Wireless Fish-Eye IP Camera supports H.264 and M-JPEG
compression formats and delivers excellent picture quality in up to 1600 x 1200 pixels at 15 frames
per second (fps). Incorporating the professional 2 MP-resolution sensor, the ICA-HM830W
provides high quality images and panorama function with quad view to enable images of
monitoring and recording from four different angles to be displayed simultaneously. It offers 180°
panoramic view by wall mount installation or 360° surround view in deployment of ceiling / table
mount. Therefore, users do not need to install multiple IP cameras and hence save tremendous
installation and maintenance cost. Moreover, the unique design makes it the ideal solution to
surveillance applications in boutiques, stores or restaurants.
Complete Monitoring with 360º Surround View
Furthermore, the ICA-HM830W is a Fish-Eye camera that allows you to monitor all angles of a
location using just one camera and thus save lots of traditional mechanical Pan/Tilt maintenance
cost. The distorted hemispherical image of the Fish-Eye camera will be converted into the
conventional rectilinear projection. Without installing any software, you can watch live view and
utilize functions such as motion detection and camera tampering through the Web interface using
an IE browser. It also provides distortion correction function to fix the camera video so you can use
e-PTZ to zoom in and zoom out the image, and pan across the camera’s video to survey a large
area easily.

Day & Night Functionality
The ICA-HM830W features an automatic, removable infrared-cut filter, which enables the camera
to provide color video when there is sufficient light, and black/white video in dark conditions. The
ICA-HM830W is able to maintain clear images 24 hours a day.
Advanced Event Management
The ICA-HM830W provides surveillance functions including DI/DO alarm, Micro SD card support
for local storage, and 2-way audio that enables audio communication between local and remote
ICA-HM830W sites by connecting the external microphone and speaker. It can also be applied in
video conferencing via its 2-way audio features.

ICA-HM830W
High Quality Streaming via 11n Wireless Connectivity
The ICA-HM830W adopts IEEE 802.11n wireless technology to communicate at maximum
150Mbps and ensures secure transmission with WEP and WPA encryptions. It allows you to
stream high quality video to remote sites and mobile devices. A Site Survey feature also allows
you to view and connect to nearby wireless networks with ease. The ICA-HM830W also includes
64-CH central management software for ease of maintenance and remote monitoring. The
ICA-HM830W is indisputably the top choice for reliable and high performance surveillance.
