1. 0BIntroduction
PLANET ICA-HM830W is the new H.264 2Mega-Pixel Fixed Dome IP camera featuring a fish-eye lens for
360 degree panoramic wide angle view without blind spot. The ICA-HM830W delivers clear image through
Multi-streaming H.264 and Motion JPEG video up to UXGA (1600 x 1200 pixels). The fish-eye lens with
2Mega Pixel high resolution images provides 360 degree wide view surveillance and the panorama function
with quad view enables four different angles images to display simultaneously for monitoring and recording.
The ICA-HM830W digital Pan/Tilt and zoom function can provide users 9 different video modes including:
D360° Source image
D360°Table view
D180° double broad view
D180° double table broad view
D360° source view with 3 PTZ
DQuad view
D360° broad view with 2 PTZ
D180° source view with 3 PTZ
D180° broad view with 2 PTZ
Furthermore, the ICA-HM830W applies perspective correction software to eliminate the rounding normally
associated with fisheye lenses and thus save lots of traditional mechanical Pan/Tilt maintenance cost.
The ICA-HM830W is highly flexible to be applied in various kinds of IP surveillance environment. It has
built-in ICR (IR-cut filter Removable) for day / night surveillance and is compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g/n
wireless technology and WEP / WPA encryptions. In addition, 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 installed sites by connecting the external
microphone and speaker.
The ICA-HM830W is the perfect panoramic surveillance application for the hallway, stores or offices so
customers do not need to install multiple IP cameras and thus can save lots of installation and maintenance
cost. Moreover, the ICA-HM830W can be managed by PLANET Cam Viewer 3 IP-Surveillance
management software for multi-camera video surveillance application and provides monitoring, recording and
event management functions to secure your property and life.
