IP Camera is an independent IP address and the embedded operating system in order to achieve the intelligent network monitoring products. It can be through the LAN, DSL connection or wireless network adapter is directly connected to the network. IP cameras, including a camera, optical filters, image, Digital compression controller and embedded operating system. The new IP camera also can be equipped with other more advanced functions such as dynamic monitoring function.
Integral components
First IP Camera Image Acquisition (these images can be viewed as different from the band optical components), then transform it into photoelectric signal. These photoelectric signal was then IP Camera state transition from analog to digital mode, after compression, then transmitted to the network.
Camera lens pictures to the image sensor (CCD). In these images before they reach the CCD through the first optical filter, the filtering process some of infrared light only allows a suitable light can be displayed. After these CCD optical signals from the component information into electrical signals. Then, these signals are converted into digital signals on the network for transmission.
Axis exclusive ARTPEC chip developed by playing with such a camera controller function, It also manages the exposure, white balance, image clarity and picture quality as well as the other aspects. ARTPEC also includes a video compression component, its function is to these digital image data compression to minimize contains data information, thereby achieving efficient network transmission.
Camera Ethernet connections through the Axis ETRAX chip to achieve -- the chip is used to connect to external Network equipment to the best solution. The chip includes a 32-bit CPU, 10/100 megabit Ethernet connectivity, advanced direct storage methods and with a high sense of common I / O interface.
CPU, flash memory and dynamic RAM is the IP camera; have micro-computer functions, and it is specifically for the network application design. Together, they handle the camera and the exchanges between the network.
