XL Specs
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
| Feature | Benefit |
| Standalone Operation | Does not require a dedicated PC in order to operate -- NetCam XL 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 XL's sample images and you'll quickly see why NetCam XL's image quality stands high above the competition. StarDot's firmware post-processing adds color correction, contrast enhancement and sharpening. |
| IP-Addressable | Continuous live video/images and configuration menus can be viewed from anywhere by simply entering NetCam XL's IP address in a web browser. |
| Multiple Camera Operation | Since each NetCam XL is assigned its own IP address, you can run hundreds of NetCam XL's on a single network. By adding a low-cost router, you can access dozens of NetCam XL cameras 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 XL 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 XL. Any java-enabled web browser can be used, including browsers on Windows, MacOS and UNIX/Linux. |
| Built-In FTP Client | NetCam XL 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 XL 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 XL boasts not one but two serial ports, so plugging a weather station into NetCam XL is easy. Additionally, an industry standard I2C bus port is accessible from the back of NetCam XL, so adding a motorized zoom lens is a snap. |
| Power Injected Cable | A 50' power/network cable is included with NetCam XL. 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-Adjustable | Options like image resolution, JPEG quality and frame skip allow you to adjust the bandwidth consumption of NetCam XL. |
| Includes StarDot Tools Software | NetCam XL can be configured/viewed with only a web browser. However, for first time users or for users connecting NetCam XL 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 XL configuration, a Modules Wizard and various other functionality for configuration and diagnostics. |
| Date/Time Overlay | NetCam XL'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 displayed on the live image. |
| Developer-Friendly | NetCam XL 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 XL can be viewed or configured on any computer with a web browser. |
| Warranty | Limited 1-Year Warranty, Parts & Labor |
