1.2 Features and Benefits

The IP outdoor rugged dome series 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 (LAN and WAN) 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 outdoor rugged dome 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.

Automatic Frame Rate Control

The IP outdoor rugged dome series supports automatic/manual streaming frame rate control, especially for multiple clients' concurrent access the same video stream in different network bandwidth.

Digital Time Code Embedded

The “Digital Time Code Embedded” function provides recording time and embeds it in the MPEG bit stream. Therefore, each image frame is tagged with its respective recorded time. It is very useful when users want to find the video from an exact time or between a certain time period.

DDNS Supported

The IP outdoor rugged dome series supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server). Users can set this IP device at a virtual domain name (such as cam1.Taipei.xxx) that is linked with its dynamic IP via DDNS service. Everyone can use the virtual domain name to view the video from anywhere with internet access.

DDNS Supported

This IP outdoor rugged dome supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server). Users can set this IP device at a virtual domain name (such as cam1.Taipei.xxx) that is linked with its dynamic IP via DDNS

service. Everyone can use the virtual domain name to view the video from anywhere with internet access.

Built-in Hardware Motion Detection

No more external motion sensors are required. Each IP device can be set with up to 3 detection areas. By tuning the object size and sensitivity, it can provide reliable motion detection in all kinds of environments. Moreover, hardware motion detection delivers better sensitivity and faster response time than software motion detection.

Powerful Bundled Surveillance Software

To extend the capabilities of the IP outdoor rugged dome series, a powerful surveillance program is included in the package and is free to use. Users can easily utilize an existing PC to be a digital video recorder. Scheduled recording and manual recording keep every important image recorded in the local hard disk. Reliable and accurate motion detection with instant warning enables immediate response in every condition. Quick and simple search and playback function lets you easily find the images you want.

Software Development Kit Support

The IP outdoor rugged dome series can be integrated or controlled by user's application program through the Streaming Library or ActiveX control. With its high level programming interface, software developers can save a lot of time and effort while developing
