1.2 Features and Benefits
This IP Indoor Cube Camera is a cutting-edge digital video transmission device. It can compress and transmit real time images with outstanding images quality (D1, 720x480) at reasonable bandwidth through a standard
TCP/IP network. That is because it is Ethernet ready and has the powerful
ARM9 SoC and the MPEG-4 compression ASIC inside. In addition, with these powerful hardware platform, excellent SDK support and powerful respective apparatuses (e.g. the transcoder), this IP Indoor Cube Camera is your best choice building up either conventional IP surveillance system or intelligent IP surveillance system.
Real-time MPEG-4 Compression
With hardware MPEG-4 compression chip inside, the composite video inputs can be efficiently compressed into MPEG-4 bit stream without any delay. The ASIC base compression engine can support not only
CIF, but also FULL D1 image resolution.
Digital Time Code Embedded
The “Digital Time Code Embedded” function is to embed the recording time in the MPEG bit stream. Therefore, each image frame has its respective time when it was recorded. It is very useful when users want to find the video at an exact time or between a certain time intervals.
DDNS Supported
This IP Indoor Cube Camera supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name
Server), users can set this IP Indoor Cube Camera at a virtual domain name (such as cam1.Taipei.xxx) at dynamic IP. Everyone can use the virtual domain name to view the video anywhere that has the access to the internet.
Build-in Hardware Motion Detection
No more external motion sensors are required. Each IP Indoor Cube
Camera can be set up to 3 detection areas. By tuning the object size and sensitivity, it is very reliable to fit into your environment. Besides, hardware motion detection delivers better sensitivity and responds faster than software motion detection.
Bundle Powerful Surveillance Software
1-2
To extend the capabilities of the IP outdoor rugged dome series, a powerful surveillance program is included in the package and is very free to use. Users can easily utilize the existing PC to be a digital video recorder. Schedule recording and manual recording keep every important image recorded in the local hard disk. Reliable and accurate motion detection with instant warning makes you responsive in every condition. Quick and simple search and playback function lets you easily find the images you want.
Software Development Kit Support
This IP Indoor Cube Camera can be integrated or controlled by user’s application program through the Streaming Library or ActiveX control.
With its high level programming interface, software developer’s time and efforts to is highly reduced.
