The internet camera combines the functionality of a video surveillance system with the convenience of the internet. Designed as a stand alone system complete with CPU and integrated web sever, it connects to a wired or wireless network at home, in a building or campus, and to the broadband internet without the need for any computers. Once connected, users can use the IP address built in the camera to gain access to the cameras and view live streaming video.

Surveillance software is provided to let the users view multiple cameras on a single computer screen at a central location. Images can be recorded to the computer’s hard drive. The cameras can be connected to external alarms and sensors, and users can set up automatic email alerts for sending through the internet.

The internet camera supports motion-detected recording to save disk space and eliminate the time otherwise wasted to view the entire record. Image playback consumes time with triggered-event browsing and fast database searching.

Pan/tilt internet cameras provide angle movement and digital zoom controllable from web interface for monitoring of all angles with closed up details. Using the 2-way audio internet cameras, users can view and listen from a remote place while talking to a person at the camera site through a speaker attached to the camera.

With the alarm triggered global reaction function, a camera can send an alarm to the system to trigger other cameras and security equipment to react in a global manner. the cameras support power over Ethernet, and can be placed on high ceilings or hidden places where AC outlets are not available.
