The 18x PoE Network Camera is a stand-alone system connecting directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. The 18x PoE Network Camera differs from a conventional PC Camera because it has an integrated system with built-in CPU and web-based solutions, providing a low cost solution that can transmit high quality video images for monitoring. The 18x PoE Network Camera can be remotely managed, accessed and controlled from any PC/Notebook over an Intranet or Internet using a web browser. 2. What is the maximum number of users that can access DCS-3415 simultaneously? The maximum number of users that can log onto the 18x PoE Network Camera at the same time is 10. Please keep in mind the overall performance of the transmission speed will be reduced if many users have logged on to the camera simultaneously. There is no limited user when multicast-enabled router is used. This helps to reduce the network transmission load. Note that to utilize this feature; the Network Camera must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, see RTSP Streaming on page 41. 3. What algorithm is used to compress the digital image? The 18x PoE Network Camera utilizes MPEG-4 simple profile or MJPEG Mode image compression technology providing high quality images. MJPEG is a standard for image compression and it can be applied to various web browsers and application software without installing any extra software 4. Can I capture still images from the 18x PoE Network Camera? Yes you can capture still images using the snapshot function. D-Link DCS-3415 User Manual 80
