Internet Camera Features
Q: What is an Internet Camera?
A: Internet camera is a standalone system connecting directly to an Ethernet or
Fast Ethernet network and is supported by the wireless transmission based on
the IEEE 802.11g standard. It is different from the conventional PC camera.
Internet camera is an all-in-one system with built-in CPU and web-based
solutions providing a low cost solution that can transmit high quality video
images for monitoring. The camera can be managed remotely, accessed and
controlled from any PC/Notebook over the Intranet or Internet via a web
browser.
Q: How many users are allowed to access this Internet camera simultaneously?
A: Maximum number of users that can log onto the camera at the same time is 10.
Please keep in mind the overall transmission speed will slow down when many
users are logged on because all the users are sharing the same resources.
Q: What algorithm is used to compress the digital image?
A: The camera utilizes the MPEG-4 image compression technology, thus
providing high quality images for users. MPEG-4 is adopted since it is a
standard for image compression and can be applied to various web browsers
and software applications.
Q: Can I change the wireless antenna attached to the camera?
A: The wireless antenna can be changed for a variety of reasons such as
extending the wireless transmission range: however, please consult authorized
distributors in advance as the connectors must be SMA connector type.
Q: What is the wireless transmission range for the camera?
A: Generally, the wireless distance can go as far as 100 meters indoors and up to
300 meters outdoors. The number of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the
wireless signals must pass through will limit this distance. Typical ranges vary
depending on the types of materials and background Radio Frequency (RF)
noise in your home or business and the configuration setting of your network
environment.
