1. Introduction
1.1. What is MPEG-4 IR Network Camera?
The MPEG-4 IR Network Camera is an Internet-based digital video surveillance device with a built-in Web server. It
uses TCP/IP to distribute compressed live video over a Local Area Network (LAN) and/or the Internet through an
Ethernet connection.
The MPEG-4 IR Network Camera combines the features of a network camera with an infrared illuminator to provide
good image quality, even in darkness. The built-in Web server makes it possible to monitor and control it remotely
while delivering clear MPEG-4 video. It's ideal for surveillance systems that operate in both day and night conditions.
The MPEG-4 IR Network Camera is self-contained Web Server. Users could access the camera just like browsing
website over Internet using standard browser such as Microsoft Internet ExplorerTM, and do all the management,
configuration, and monitoring easily.
The MPEG-4 IR Network Camera contains an MPEG-4 image compression chipset capable of delivering streaming,
constant or variable bit rate MPEG-4 video over the network in real-time.
There are 3 models of the MPEG-4 IR Network Camera for various environments and various distances usage.
P423 – 30-Meter (Indoor/Outdoor)
P426 – 10-Meter (Indoor)
P428 – 100-Meter (Indoor/Outdoor)
