1. Introduction
The PLANET ICA-HM240 with built-in high performance 1.3Mega-Pixel CMOS sensor delivers
high quality image at maximum 1280x1024 resolution. The ICA-HM240 is also a Dome IP camera
with vandal-proof case. The vandal-proof designs with die-cast aluminum body can prevent the
artificial destroy. It provides the best solution for installation in harshest conditions and maintains
reliable operation in indoor environment.
The ICA-HM240 integrates the H.264 compression technology so it can compress the video file
size to smaller one for users being able to transfer the Mega-Pixel images on the Internet easily.
The IP camera features multi-profile function and can generate H.264 / MPEG-4 and M-JPEG
streaming to different users at the same time. It allows up to 20 users to access the ICA-HM240
surveillance simultaneously. With this state-of-the-art design, the iCA-HM240 is considerable to fit
in various network environments.
High-speed motorized structure offers a wide pan range of 355 degrees and tilt range of 100
degrees to be controlled over TCP/IP networks. 180 degree/sec pan speed and 120 degree/sec tilt
speed drive the camera move to the preset point faster than normal-speed P/T IP cameras.
Supports Store-to-NAS function, the ICA-HM240 can work alone and save the video file to a NAS
directly, which saves the PC resource and keep monitoring the environment with motion detection
at 24/7. The ICA-HM240 takes surveillance using 2-Way audio. The administrator can speak to
anyone at ICA-HM240 remote site with a speaker added. Moreover, compliant with IEEE 802.3af
PoE interface, the ICA-HM240 can be located in places where there are no power outlets.
The ICA-HM240 can be managed by PLANET Cam Viewer Plus, the professional management
software for multi-camera video surveillance application, to provide monitoring, recording and
event management functions. The Cam Viewer Plus enables you to setup a comprehensive and
effective surveillance system quickly and easily. With the ICA-HM240 managed by the Cam
Viewer Plus, it provides a real professional security environment to protect your property and life.
