Hydra Network Camera Overview

Hydra series. As the name suggests, the product is capable of connecting up to 3

cameras with the transmission cables. The Hydra series is the world’s 1st simultaneous

triple extensible view HDTV IP camera, offering the substantial advantage in the total

cost of ownership (TCO), ease of use, and applicability. The debut of the Hydra series is

another symbol for Brickcom’s commitment to driving innovation and bringing the best

products to the market.

The 1st product of the Hydra series is the PH-100Ah Kit. It consists of 1 unit of VB-03

video box and 1 unit of PH-100Ah super mini camera, and has the capability of

connecting up to 3 PH-100Ah cameras. The PH-100Ah Kit reveals the following

advantages and strengths:

1. Multiple Cameras on 1 Device: this is the key factor in reducing the cost of

ownership (TCO). The idea is simple: the user can have 2 cameras for the cost of

less than 2, and can have 3 cameras for the cost of less than 3. Furthermore, this

triple-camera system runs merely on 1 IP address and 1 PoE cable. In addition to

the reduced equipment cost, the user also benefits from the cost drops on the labor,

time, and maintenance.

2. Extensible View: the PH-100Ah camera is a separate unit from the main body

(VB-03), and is connected to the VB-03 via the extension cable. The extension

cable runs up to 7 meters for each PH-100Ah. The user is able to install the VB-03

in one place, while viewing another place through the PH-100Ah.

3. Low-Profile Monitoring: the PH-100Ah is actually the imaging sub-system taken out

of the IP camera, and therefore it can be made extremely tiny and compact. This

not only drives down the hardware cost, but also makes monitoring an unobtrusive

practice.

4. Multi-Purpose Monitoring: Up to 3 PH-100Ah cameras can be attached to the

VB-03. More Hydra series cameras are coming out to offer the user a variety of

choices in the form factor, optics, and imaging capability.

5. Collaborative Monitoring: with up to 3 PH-100Ah cameras attached to the VB-03,

the PH-100Ah Kit can not only monitor 3 different places simultaneously, but also

monitor a certain place from 3 distinct viewpoints. Such applications can be

achieved by 3 separate conventional cameras, but the PH-100Ah Kit reveals the

unbeatable advantage when the TCO is taken into consideration.
