I. Introduction
• What is a VersaCam IC-360?
The VersaCam IC cameras are Internet-based digital network cameras, which provide
high-resolution imaging and use image compression via a network. They connect directly to an
Ethernet network and provide live motion color pictures over the Internet or individual frames by
E-mail or FTP.
The VersaCam IC is a microprocessor-based device that contains a digital color camera, web server
functionality, optimized hardware for image compression, and a physical Ethernet connection.
Therefore it does not require any extra software or hardware. Simply provide power and connect a
LAN cable to the VersaCam IC.
The VersaCam IC Series generates pictures in Wavelet format, which compresses images more
effectively than standard JPEG does. Moreover, Wavelet progressively generates pictures from low
rates of resolution, so it reduces waiting time for users.
VersaCams fit in a wide range of applications to monitor places and objects. Common applications
are: construction areas, important equipment, banks, hospitals, amusement parks, highways, and
child care centers. Using a VersaCam IC-360, you can conveniently monitor any place thorough web
browsers from remote sites.
• Features and Benefits
Ease of Use – VersaCam IC Series does not require the use of a PC frame grabber card nor
interaction with any other server. The only software required is Netscape Navigator 4.x or Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.x or above. Since it has a complete plug-and-picture functionality, the only step
one has to take is to assign a valid IP address.
Open Standards Environment - Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP E-mail, FTP, HTTP and
other Internet-related protocols, the VersaCam IC Series can be used in mixed operating system
environments, such as Windows, UNIX, Macintosh and OS/2. It integrates easily into other
WWW/Intranet applications and CGI scripts.
Simple Administration - Using a standard Web browser, you can configure and manage a
VersaCam IC-360 directly from its own Web pages. When a new firmware release becomes
available, you can simply upgrade all of your VersaCam IC Series camera products remotely over
the network.
Wavelet Image Format - As opposed to many inferior solutions that need to split image files prior
to broadcast, VersaCam delivers complete high-quality and highly compressed pictures in Wavelet
format. Wavelet has 30%~300% higher image compression rates than standard JPEG. Wavelet
technology allows the integrity of your pictures to be higher than other web cameras and to be
viewed with crystal clarity and high speed.
External Device Connection - Using an auxiliary Input/Output connector, you can connect your
VersaCam IC Series to a variety of external devices, such as IR-sensors, switches, alarm relays, or
CCTV analog video monitors (output). In combination with the programmable alarm facilities, you
can quickly develop various security applications that are triggered on time-based or alarm-based
events.
