Preface
Main functions
Introduction of Super Dynamic
(
☞ Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM))
Super Dynamic compensates brightness on a pixel-to-pixel basis so that i\
t produces clearer imag-
es even if objects have various illumination intensities. 
H.264 and JPEG double encoding
The 2 types of H.264 stream outputs and the JPEG output can be simultaneously provided.
Power over Ethernet function
When connecting with a PoE (Power over Ethernet) device, power will be supplied by simply con-
necting a LAN cable. (IEEE802.3af compliant)
Adaptive darkness correction mode
Corrects the blacked-out parts of dark areas of objects that have different illumination intensities.
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 occurrence. (Download is possible.)
