The camera supports network operation. By simply connecting a LAN cable to it, you can construct the most
advanced network monitoring system. From the Web browser (Internet Explorer) installed on your PC, you
can operate the camera via the network in an easy-to-use manner.
The camera supports bidirectional audio communications, enabling you to communicate with people at the
camera from your PC while monitoring the surveillance video, instead of just hearing sounds from the
camera.
In addition, it is a PoE product that can be powered through a LAN cable, so you can install it in locations
where there is no power outlet nearby.
The camera has 4-megapixel CMOS sensor that produces clear images at ultra-high resolution.
The camera can deliver full HD H.264 video throughout the network. Connecting a high-definition monitor to
your PC enables full high-definition video monitoring.
Using multi-stream video transmission, it can simultaneously deliver up to four video/ima
g
e streams. Because
it allows video/image compression format, resolution, and other image conditions to be set as desired for
each stream, you can choose the optimal video/image for your application.
The camera offers the focus assist function that supports focus adjustment at megapixel image resolution,
allowing you to fine-tune the focus in optimal conditions in an easy manner.
The digital PTZ function lets you clip specific areas of the subject in VGA size and perform pan, tilt, and zoom
operations just as when using a PTZ camera.
The camera's motion sensor function can work in conjunction with any external alarm device, facilitating the
construction of a high-level security system.
Installing an SD memory card (optional) lets you record alarm video with the camera.
Installing associated software applications on your PC further extends the capabilities of your surveillance system.
