Introduction
Thank you for purchasing our digital video server. It is an IP-based digital
surveillance device. It has functions like video capture, real-time compression,
network transmission and so on. It can transmit high-quality audio and video
data streams in low-bandwidth network to achieve real-time video transmission
in LAN/WAN, so that remote clients can enjoy the functions like image preview,
recording, playback, snapping and alarming while staying at home.
The product applies to enterprises, banks, security checkpoints, highways
and other places that need network video transmission and monitoring
capability. This product is easy to install and operate.
