Easy installation

program should start the application automatically. This program automatically 
finds Network Camera on the network.
High-Speed Motion JPEG

frames per second, if the network provides enough bandwidth. To conserve 
bandwidth, JPEG - Regularly Refresh can be selected from Top Page. Image 
Resolution, Image Quality, Refresh interval, Limit time of Continuous Motion 
JPEG and On the Air time features can control the image field.

movable lens allows you to see the situation widely where the object is. Operation 
bar has Preset Positioning and Home Positioning features to register fixed 
positions. Clicking the preset buttons moves the lens to the preset positions you 
want to view. Single Camera screen has Click to Center feature too. The object 
on Single Camera screen can be centered by clicking on the image directly.
Multi-Camera Screen
Using Multi-Camera screen you can simultaneously view up to four Network 
Cameras at various locations. Clicking on each Camera Name switches to the 
Single Camera screen from the Multi-Camera screen.
Multi-Client Access
Network Camera allows up to 10 users to view Motion JPEG image 
simultaneously. Users can access the Top View Image screen (Single Camera/
Multi-Camera screen) from their own locations. Note that as the number of users 
simultaneously connected to Network Camera increases, the overall motion 
performance will decrease.
