Chapter 1. Product Overview

1.1. Network Camera Introduction

CAM3xxx series are professional network cameras that use Internet Protocol (IP) to transmit video streams and control signals over networks. Capable of operating over both LANs and WANs, they provide a complete budget-conscious remote surveillance solution that are ultra clear and highly integrated. CAM3xxx series combine a user-friendly interface and simplified installation with a powerful feature set to provide users an easy upgrade path to new digital surveillance system in a virtual environment. These highlights make CAM3xxx series ideal choices for environments that require remote surveillance or video transmission.

11

1.2. Features and Benefits

3xxx series IP camera is a cutting-edge digital video transmission device. It can compress and transmit real-time images of outstanding quality using a reasonable amount of bandwidth through a standard TCP/IP network. The following features make this IP camera an outstanding choice when building an intelligent IP surveillance system:



High Video Quality

High image quality is essential in security surveillance applications. It is important to be able to clearly capture an incident in progress and identify persons or objects involved. A network camera gives exceptional video quality, even greater than that of traditional analog cameras, which means that more detail or larger areas can be covered.



H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG Compression

Motion JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264 (also known as MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC), each employ different techniques to reduce the amount of data transferred and stored in a network video system. Network cameras that support multiple compression standards are ideal for maximum flexibility and integration possibilities.





Dual Streaming

Dual-stream design enables simultaneous support of real-time video monitoring, video recording, or mobile viewing applications which require different resolutions, compression formats and frame rates.

MicroSD/SDHC card slot

IP surveillance relies on network connectivity, making it susceptible to attacks on the network between the camera and recording facilities. With onboard recording capability, our network cameras can truly be online

24/7. The microSD/SDHC card slot design ensures sufficient recording capacity for an over-weekend period even at full frame rate and high resolution.

12





Tampering Detection

This is an intelligent video analytics application available only in selected network cameras in the market. When a camera is manipulated in any way

(e.g. accidental redirection, blocking, defocusing, spray-painted, covered or damaged), it can automatically trigger recording and alert notifications.

Power-over-Ethernet

The built-in Power-over-Ethernet support reduces cabling and installation costs, and enables users to consolidate power facilities for higher reliability. With PoE, a camera can still operate in the event of a power failure if it is connected to a centralized backup power with an

Uninterruptible Power Supply.



IR LED Illuminators

With the built-in IR illuminators, the camera is capable of working in low light conditions, with a range up to 30m.



Outdoor Housing Design

CAM3xxx series has been designed for use of under harsh environmental conditions. Its IP66 weather-proof housing can withstand rain and dust.

The built-in heater and fan ensures the camera will continue working even at temperatures as low as -20℃ and as high as 50℃.
