Overview: BL-C30A
See There When You Can't Be There™
These cameras can be viewed and controlled from a standard Web browser, video
display, or even a compatible cell phone or PDA1. Place them in your home,
office, vacation home or almost anywhere else that you'd like to keep an eye on
things, with no PC required on location!. They are easy to install and operate
and require no additional software for the PC that you're viewing them on. Each
camera also comes with a free Web address, which can track the camera
automatically. All you need is a regular Web browser to view them on your PC, as
all of the other required software, including control software (TCP/UDP) and
e-mail software (SMTP), is already inside the camera.
802.11b/g Wireless Communication
This camera can communicate wirelessly with standard 802.11b or 802.11g wireless
devices, allowing the flexibility to install and operate the camera without
running network wires, and utilizing SSID filtering and powerful 40/64/128 bit
WEP encryption helps to protect your wireless network from illegal intrusion.
Just Plug It In and Play
This network camera is truly easy to install and use in most cases. With
industry standard automatic configuration (UPnP), the camera and your router or
PC will automatically decide the best settings allowing you to access your
camera without any complicated setup. Once connected, using a simple Web
browser, just enter in your free, permanent Web address which comes with the
camera and you can see and move the camera! It's that simple.
Control the Camera Remotely
Using a standard Web browser, video display, or even a compatible cell phone or
PDA, you can control the movement of the camera. There is 120º of Pan (left &
right) movement and 90º of Tilt (up & down) movement available. You can also
assign a "Home Position" that allows you to return the camera to a
pre-designated shooting position. Up to eight shooting positions can be
registered in advance, so you can aim the camera exactly where you want it. You
can also click on the part of the image you want to see, and automatically bring
that part to the center of the screen.
When you need a little privacy
With the built in Privacy mode, your privacy is protected by simply pressing a
button. An indicator on the front of the camera turns red, and you know at a
glance that the camera is now only accessible by you2. The camera can also be
set up to show a green light when the camera is being accessed.
Sensor Recording and Email Alerts
With the built-in heat sensor, the camera can be set to record and/or notify you
by email when someone enters the room. It can even automatically move to a
preset location when triggered, just in case someone was viewing a different
part of the room.
- Connecting the camera to the Internet requires Internet access and may
require that you obtain additional hardware such as a cable or DSL modem, or
a hub or router with a 10Base-T Ethernet connection. The camera will not be
accessible from across the Internet unless the Internet connection is
active. We cannot guarantee that your Internet connection will always be
available. The frame rate of the motion image may be dependent upon the
uplink speed of the Internet connection and other factors. Viewing may
involve some time delay. Recommended minimum 100kbps upstream bandwidth for
camera.
- Privacy mode can be controlled remotely using the administrator
password.
