Audio 2-way Communication*1

Use the built-in mic*2 and a commercially available speaker with amp to speak back and forth. This lets you exchange information with walkie-talkie type communication.

  • *1 The audio feature does not work on cell phones. The talk button and listen button cannot be used simultaneously. Depending on data traffic and the network environment, the audio may be delayed or may break up.
  • *2 A separately purchased speaker must be connected to the BB-HCM311.

SD Memory Card*1 Recording

A large quantity of images can be saved without even using a network. Cards can also be carried about easily, so data can be shared with other equipment. For example, a 1GB card can hold about 41 days'*2 worth of images when shooting at 1-minute intervals.

  • *1 The SD Memory Card is sold separately. The camera supports 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB, 2GB SD Memory Cards.
  • *2 320 x 240 resolution and standard quality.

*The cover is removed in the photo to show the function.

Progressive Scan

Progressive scanning provides better image quality than the interlace scanning system that is commonly used in TV broadcasting, and captures fast-moving subjects without blurring or color bleeding.

IPv4/IPv6*1 Dual Stack

IRv6*3

These are the world's first*2 network cameras with standard IPv6 support. Thanks to the dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 structure, they can be installed both on an IPv4 network today, and on an IPv6 network in the future.

  • *1 To connect using IPv6, it is necessary to subscribe to the ISP's "IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack" or "IPv6 over IPv4 Tunneling" service. The camera will not work in an IPv6-only network. For more information on IPv6, visit http://www.ipv6.org/External Site.
  • *2 The world's first network cameras of their kind (as of August 2004), featuring an originally developed IPv6-ready protocol stack.
  • *3 This logo mark is issued by the IPv6 Ready Logo Program Committee, an IPv6 promotion group established mainly by the IPv6 Forum.

IPsec*1 Compatibility*2

During data communications, packets of data are encrypted. Even if someone were to intercept the data by electronic eavesdropping, it would be extremely difficult to decipher. This function is added to the conventional user name and password authentication to further boost security.

  • *1 IPsec is an IP security protocol for data encryption standardized by IETF, an international community for standardizing Internet specifications.
  • *2 This function is not included on China models.

Color Night View Mode*1 & CCD Sensor

When the subject darkens, the camera automatically adjusts the brightness to show you the image. A CCD image sensor and smooth motion capture at 30 frames/sec*2 combine to let you see down to a minimum of 0.09 lux. You see clear, easy-to-view images even in the dark.

  • *1-1 The image tends to blur more than that in standard mode when viewing a moving subject in low light or when using the pan, tilt, or zoom function.
  • *1-2 Some subjects may require additional time for focusing with the auto focus function.
  • *1-3 When viewing a dark subject in Color Night View Mode, spots of white or colored light may appear in the image. This is a natural characteristic of the CCD image sensor, and does not indicate a malfunction.
  • *2 At 320 x 240 or 160 x 120 resolution.

Remote Pan and Tilt Control

You can use a PC or cell phone directly to change the direction that the camera is facing while monitoring the image. This lets you monitor a large area with a single camera.

Operating Range

Pan (Display Range 173º max)
Tilt (Display Range 105º max)
