Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Internet Camera. This Camera sends live video through the
Internet to a web browser or camera viewer anywhere in the world! This compact,
self-contained unit lets you keep an eye on your home, your kids, and your
workplace—whatever’s important to you.
How does the Camera do all of this? Unlike standard “web cams” that require an attached PC,
the Internet Camera can connect directly to a network. The Motion JPEG video compression
produces a high quality, high-frame rate, 640 x 480 video stream.
The included Camera Viewer utility lets you record the video stream to your local hard drive,
“live” or on a predetermined schedule.
Use the instructions in this Guide to help you integrate the Camera into your network. These
instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the Internet Camera.
