3 Features BL-C111A/BL-C131A On-site and remote camera monitoring Camera images can be monitored from a PC, both on-site and over the Internet. You can even use your mobile phone to view still images when you're out of the house. MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG (MJPEG) support Live camera images can be viewed and buffered (i.e., stored in memory) in both MPEG-4 and JPEG (MJPEG) formats, allowing you to select the video format that best suits your needs. Audio features The camera features a built-in microphone that allows you to monitor the audio while viewing live camera images using your PC. Built-in sensor (human detection sensor) The camera features a built-in pyroelectric infrared sensor, which uses infrared rays to detect temperature differences within its range that are emitted naturally by people, animals, etc. The sensor can be used to trigger the camera to buffer (i.e., temporarily store) camera images in its memory. You can view these images later as desired. The sensor can also be used to trigger the camera to transfer images to someone or somewhere, by FTP, E-mail, or HTTP. Motion detection feature The camera's motion detection feature allows you to buffer or transfer camera images when the camera detects motion in the camera image. Camera image buffering, playback, and sharing Camera images can be automatically buffered at specific times, when the camera's sensor is triggered, or when the camera detects motion. You can program the camera to buffer these camera images, and then you can play back these images later while accessing the camera or save them to your PC. You can also program the camera to transfer images by E-mail or upload them to an FTP or HTTP server as they are being buffered. Digital zoom When viewing camera images from a PC, you can zoom up to 10X (by area) and get a closer look. You can use your mouse to zoom in and out simply. Protecting your privacy Simply press the camera's PRIVACY button to hide the lens from view and protect your privacy. You can even activate the pri- vacy mode while away from home. UPnPTM support When connecting the camera to a UPnPTM compatible router, the camera's network settings can be automatically configured, making setup quick and easy. Viewnetcam.com support After registering your camera with the Viewnetcam.com service, you can access the camera while away from home using an easy to remember Internet address of your choosing, such as bob.viewnetcam.com.
