GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Feature	Benefit
Standalone Operation	Does not require a dedicated PC in order to operate -- NetCam is a true standalone device that plugs directly into a network or modem. It combines a high quality digital camera and small powerful computer in one small package.
StarDot Image Quality	One look at NetCam's sample images and you'll quickly see why NetCam's image quality stands high above the competition. NetCam's image sensor is a frame-transfer CCD and StarDot's firmware post-processing adds color correction, contrast enhancement and sharpening.
IP-Addressable	Continuous live images and configuration menus can be viewed from anywhere by simply entering NetCam's IP address in a web browser.
Multiple Camera Operation	Since each NetCam is assigned its own IP address, you can run hundreds of NetCams on a single network. By adding a low-cost router, you can access dozens of NetCam behind a single DSL or cable modem IP address.
Dynamic DNS Support	If you have a public DSL or cable modem IP address that is always changing (dynamic IP address), no problem -- NetCam supports dynamic DNS services such as TZO to map your dynamic IP address to a static hostname (i.e. yourname.remotecam.com).
Password-Protected	Configuration menus and live images are username/password protected to prevent unauthorized access.
Browser-Based	No special software or downloads are needed to access NetCam. Any java-enabled web browser can be used, including browsers on Windows, MacOS and UNIX/Linux.
Built-In FTP Client	NetCam can be programmed to upload images to your web server based on a schedule you set. In addition to uploading the latest live image, NetCam also has the ability to periodically archive images on your server or to keep a rotating archive of the last ten images.
Expandable	Unlike competing network cameras, NetCam boasts not one but two serial ports, so plugging a weather station into NetCam is easy. Additionally, an industry standard I2C bus port is accessible from the back of NetCam, so adding a motorized zoom lens is a snap.
Power Injected Cable	A 50' power/network cable is included with NetCam (the dial-up NetCam includes a 25' power/modem cable). This is the key to easy installation -- one cable carries both power and data, which means that a wall outlet is not needed near the camera and only one cable needs to run to each camera. Cable lengths up to 300' are available.
Bandwidth-Friendly	You can run hundreds of NetCams on a single network without worrying about dragging your network down. Each NetCam averages only 160Kbits/second of bandwidth.
Includes StarDot Tools Software	NetCam can be configured/viewed with only a web browser. However, for first time users or for users connecting NetCam to an analog phone line, we include the powerful and simple StarDot Tools software, a Windows application that includes a Setup Wizard for easy NetCam configuration, a Modules Wizard and various other functionality for configuration and diagnostics.
Date/Time Overlay	StarDot's internal clock can synchronize itself over the Internet or you can set the time manually via a web browser. The time and date and custom text is overlaid on the live image. The font style, color, transparency and position can all be changed.
Developer-Friendly	NetCam is essentially a digital camera and computer in one -- customization and development are easily accomplished via its embedded Linux operating system, shell scripting and processing language (awk).
Complete Solution	All you need is a network connection. Out of the box, NetCam can be viewed or configured on any computer with a web browser.
Warranty	Limited 1-Year Warranty, Parts & Labor
