The Pro Series Network Cameras and Network Video Server are all-in-one networking devices
that contain a digital color camera (or a connection for analog CCTV cameras), a powerful Web
server, an optimized embedded operating system, hardware for image compression and a

source.

as easy as surfing any regular Web sites. More than just a high-performance network camera,
the Pro Series Network Cameras and Network Video Server also offer many advanced features
to provide solutions such as remote surveillance, home/business security, audio/video
conferencing, motion detection and more. NOTE: This user manual includes the Network Video

1.2 Main Features and Benefits
Convenient Operation
The Pro Series Network Camera does not need any additional software or interaction with any
other server. The only software needed is a common Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.x or above.
Open Standards
The Pro Series Network Camera supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, FTP, HTTP and
other Internet-related protocols. The camera can be used in a mixed operating system
environment with Windows, Unix, Mac 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 the Pro Series Network Camera
directly from its own embedded Web pages. The embedded operating system is upgradeable
through the network; check with your local INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS dealer for
firmware upgrades.
External Devices
The auxiliary Input/Output connector on the camera allows you to connect to a variety of
external devices, such as IR sensors, switches and alarm relays.
Security
Your Pro Series Network Camera includes a self-contained Web server, which means that
digital images can be secured like any other Internet host. Your network administrator, using the
unit’s security settings in combination with an organization’s Internet firewall, normally
implements data protection. The administrator can decide whether individuals, groups or the
whole world may access the camera. The Pro Series Network Camera supports multi-user
password protection.
Compression and Performance
With a variable frame rate dependent on the image quality and bit rate, the camera delivers
MPEG4 video at up to 30 images per second.
