GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
| 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 |
