Appendix Frequently Asked Questions Internet Camera Features Q: What is an Internet Camera? A: DCS-1000W is a standalone system connecting directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network and supported by the wireless transmission based on the IEEE 802.11b standard. It is different from the conventional PC Camera, the DCS-1000W is an all-in-one system with built-in CPU and web-based solutions providing a low cost solution that can transmit high quality video images for monitoring. The DCS-1000W can be managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any PC/Notebook over the Intranet or Internet via a web browser. Q: What is the maximum number of users that can be allowed to access DCS-1000W simultaneously? A: Maximum number of users that can log onto the DCS-1000W at the same time is 64. Please keep in mind the overall performance of the transmission speed will slow down when many users are logged on. Q: What algorithm is used to compress the digital image? A: The DCS-1000W utilizes JPEG image compression technology providing high quality images. JPEG is a standard for image compression and can be applied to various web browser and application software without the need to install extra software. Q: Can I change the wireless antenna attached to DCS-1000W? A: The wireless antenna can be changed for a variety of reasons such as extending the wireless transmission range, however, please consult authorized distributors before attempting as the connectors must be SMA connector type. Q: Can I capture still images from the DCS-1000W? A: Yes you are able to capture still images with the snapshot function from the IPView application supplied with the DCS-1000W CD-ROM.
