							Main functions
H.264/MPEG-4 and JPEG triple encoding
H.264/MPEG-4 stream and JPEG (MJPEG) outputs can be simultaneously provided.
* Either H.264 or MPEG-4 is selectable.
Introduction of Super Dynamic (MEGA Super Dynamic)
(☞ Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM))
MEGA Super Dynamic compensates brightness on a pixel-to-pixel basis so t\
hat it produces clearer images even if objects 
have various illumination intensities. 
Black & white function 
Images will be displayed clear even at night since the camera will be au\
tomatically switched from the color mode to the 
black and white mode under low illumination condition.
Megapixel-compatible lens and high accuracy preset position function
A single camera provides wide area monitoring.
The camera can be installed not only on the ceiling but also on the wall\
When using an optional mount bracket, embedded installation on a ceiling\
 or mounting on a wall is available.
Power over Ethernet function
When connecting with a PoE (Power over Ethernet) device, power will be supplied by simply connecting a LAN cable. 
(IEEE802.3af compliant)
Interactive communication with audio
By using the audio output connector and the microphone in connector, receiving audio from the cameras on a PC and 
transmitting audio from the PC to the cameras is available.
SDHC/SD memory card slot equipped
It is possible to save H.264 videos and JPEG images on the SDHC/SD memor\
y card manually at an alarm occurrence, 
during the period of the schedule, or on a web browser. It is also possible to save JPEG images at a network failure occur-
rence. (Download is possible.)
* Recommended SDHC/SD memory card (☞ page 33)
Auto tracking function with a smooth changing between panning, tilting a\
nd zoom
It is possible to perform a smooth changing between panning, tilting and\
 zoom.
* The accuracy with the auto tracking function depends on the installation location. Make sure that the installation location 
is appropriate in advance.
