1. Introduction

This network Speed Dome Camera transmits digital video and audio data using wire connection. Live video can be monitored and recorded from a window-based computer via network.

The video encoder supports the real-time Main Profile H.264 D1 resolution which compresses the image size up to 40%. Simultaneous dual streams, H.264/H.264 and H.264/MJPEG, are available for various network applications via speeding or limited bandwidth. Better image quality and high resolution are delivered by IP support. Additionally, the 3D de-interlaced technology provides superior image quality. It eliminates the “combing” effect due to scene change and performs a more stabilised image.

With this IP solution, multiple authorised users can view the immediate image from any location through the network, even by using a standard web-browser. It enables users to access and remote the camera without being at specific locations.

2. Important Safety Instructions
