1. Introduction
The Vimtag IP Camera VT-361 is part of an overall surveillance and security
solution that enables you not only to observe what is happening in real
time from remote locations, but to capture and store video and images
both manually and automatically. It provides added security and peace of
mind in both home and office settings.
The Vimtag solution, which includes the Vimtag IP Camera VT-361 as well
as optional other accessories and an advanced web-based control
application, combines high quality, easy-to-setup cameras with a program
running on your mobile device or computer that enables you to see what
is happening from anywhere, at any time.
Key Benefits
Traditional IP cameras tend to be difficult to install and use. The Vimtag IP
Camera is simple to set up and operate. It is a Plug and Play system with
many distinct features and functions and can be scaled to any size business,
organization or residence. In a small business or private residence, a single
camera can be installed and then monitored and even controlled remotely.
In larger businesses, even if located in multiple sites or even different cities,
several cameras, including indoor and outdoor models, can be combined
with the Vimtag Cloud Box to store recorded images and videos.
Unlike other solutions, Vimtag does not require you to define port mapping
settings, deal with an IP address, or DNS server settings. The Vimtag
solution offers many benefits, including:
•Wi-Fi/3G remote monitoring for real-time control from any computer,
any location, at any time
•Video in 720P HD
•Motion detection function
•Two way speaker to listen to sounds from the area under surveillance;
to communicate with those who are there

The advanced web-based application enables you to access and view
surveillance activity via a wide variety of mobile devices, including both iOS
and Android devices. Another benefit of the Vimtag solution is its cost-
effectiveness, making it an ideal solution both for large corporations that
need to secure large areas, as well as smaller businesses and even
homeowners wishing to provide surveillance and security on a more
moderate scale.
