INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Pan/Tilt Internet Camera, a
standalone system that can be connected directly to an Ethernet or
Fast Ethernet. Compared to the conventional PC camera, the
Pan/Tilt Internet 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 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 monitor, high quality, and high
performance video images.

Features and Benefits
Simple To Use
The Pan/Tilt Internet Camera is a standalone system with built-in
CPU, no special hardware (such as a PC frame capture card) or
software required. The camera supports DirectX 9.0; therefore,
the only requirement you need is the web browser software such
as Internet Explorer 5.0 or above. Once you have a valid IP
Address, just connect it and you can view the picture from your
camera. In addition, the camera’s pan/tilt function allows you to
adjust the camera for optimal viewing angle. You can tilt the
camera right or left (up to 156/156 degrees), forward or backward
(up to 45/70 degrees) using the Web Configuration Utility.
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 and Windows NT 4.0. 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 users name and password are
permitted with privilege setting controlled by the administrator.

6
Remote Utility
The powerful IPView SE 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 can provide
the ideal solution for live video images over the Intranet and
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. Apply the camera to monitor various
objects and places such as homes, offices, banks, hospitals, child-
care centers, amusement parks and other varieties of industrial
and public monitoring. The camera can also be used for intruder
detection; in addition, it can capture still images for archiving and
many more applications.
