Simultaneous MPEG-4 and JPEG

Cameras simultaneously send MPEG-4 images in three resolutions (VGA, QVGA, and SCIF), and JPEG images in the same three resolutions in favour motion, standard, and favour clarity image-quality types. MPEG-4 is recommended for viewing smooth motion images, and JPEG is recommended for recording higher quality images.

IPv4 / IPv6*1 Dual Stack

These are the world’s first*2 network cameras with standard IPv6 support. Thanks to the dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 structure, they can be installed both on an IPv4 network today, and on an IPv6 network in the future. By passing the stringent requirements for Phase 2 certification, these cameras have also become even more reliable and interoperable. *3

*1 To connect using IPv6, it is necessary to subscribe to the ISP’s "IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack" or "IPv6 over IPv4 Tunneling" service. The camera will not work in an IPv6-only network. For more information on IPv6, visit http://www.ipv6.org/.
*2 The world’s first network cameras of their kind (as of August 2004), featuring an originally developed IPv6-ready protocol stack.
*3 This logo mark is issued by the IPv6 Ready Logo Program Committee, an IPv6 promotion group established mainly by the IPv6 Forum.

Built-in Microphone

Sounds picked up by the built-in microphone can be heard through the PC. Video monitoring with sound enhances security by providing additional information that images cannot convey.

Built-in Human Detection Sensor

The sensor*1 detects people, animals, etc., due to temperature changes. When detected, the image or a series of images is sent to you by e-mail*2 or FTP data transfer*3 for easy checking.

*1-1 The sensor detects heat by picking up the infrared light naturally emitted from people and animals. Certain thermal environments, sunlight, air conditioners, heaters, etc., may cause detection errors or decrease the range of the sensor.
*1-2 The time needed to send images by e-mail from the camera will vary depending on the condition of the network. When setting the camera to send e-mail images to a cell phone, we recommend setting a longer interval time. If the interval is set too short, more images will be e-mailed to your cell phone and therefore your cell phone charges may be higher.
*2 PDP before SMTP authentication and SMTP authentication (PLAIN LOGIN and CRAM-MD5) are supported.
*3 The sensor’s detection history can also be emailed to you once a day at a preset time.

Privacy Mode

When you return home, just press a button to cover the lens and protect your privacy. System administrators can also do this over the network

Remote Pan and Tilt

You can use a PC or cell phone directly to change the direction that the camera is facing while monitoring the image. This lets you monitor a large area with a single camera.

10 x Digital Zoom Function

It’s so reassuring to see your pet’s happy face while you are out. A simple mouse operation is all you need to enlarge the image, using the 10x digital zoom, so you get a clear view of your pet’s expression.
