INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Wireless Internet Camera, a camera
device that can be connected directly to an Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet network and also supported by the wireless transmission
based on the IEEE 802.11g standard. Compared to the
conventional PC Camera, the Wireless Internet Camera features a
built-in CPU and web-based solutions that can provide a cost-
effective solution to transmit real-time high-quality video images
and sounds for monitoring. The Wireless Internet Camera can be
managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any
PC/Notebook over the Intranet or Internet via a web browser.
The simple installation procedures and web-based interface allow
you to integrate it into your network easily. With comprehensive
applications supported, the Wireless Internet Camera is your best
solution for remote monitor, high quality, and high performance
video images.

Features and Benefits
Simple To Use
The Wireless Internet Camera is a standalone system with built-in
CPU requiring no special hardware or software such as PC frame
grabber cards. The Wireless Internet Camera supports both
ActiveX mode (for Internet Explorer users) and Java mode (for
Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator users). Therefore, all
that is required is a web browser software such as Internet
Explorer 5.0 or above or Netscape 6.0 or above. Just plug and
view the picture from your Wireless Internet Camera with a valid
IP Address.
Support Variety of Platforms
The Wireless Internet Camera supports TCP/IP networking,
SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other Internet related protocols, and can
be utilized in a mixed operating system environment such as
Windows, Unix, and Mac. It can be integrated easily into other
www/Intranet applications.
Web Configuration
Applying a standard web browser, the administrator can configure
and manage the Wireless Internet Camera directly from its own
web page via the Intranet or Internet. Up to 64 users name and
password are permitted with privilege setting controlled by the
administrator.

Remote Utility
The powerful IPView Pro application assigns the administrator
with a pre-defined user ID and password, allowing the
administrator to modify the Wireless Internet Camera settings
from the remote site via Intranet or Internet. When new firmware
is available, you can also upgrade remotely over the network for
added convenience. Users are also allowed to monitor the image,
and take snapshots.
Broad Range of Applications
With today’s high-speed Internet services, the Wireless Internet
Camera can provide the ideal solution for live video images over
the Intranet and Internet for remote monitoring. The Wireless
Internet Camera allows remote access from a web browser for
live image viewing and allows administrator to manage and
control the Wireless Internet Camera anywhere and any time in
the world. Apply the Wireless Internet Camera to monitor
various objects and places such as homes, offices, banks,
hospitals, child-care centers, amusement parks and other varieties
of industrial and public monitoring. The Wireless Internet
Camera can also be used for intruder detection; in addition, it can
capture still images for archiving and many more applications.
