D-Link DCS-3110 User Manual

Section 1 - Product Overview

• Powerful Surveillance

- The DCS-3110 is designed to target the high-end surveillance market. As mentioned

earlier, a 1.3 mega-pixel progressive scan CMOS sensor covers three times larger view. The DCS-3110

is a powerful network camera for both day and night applications. It effectively reduces motion blur and

distortion as well as jagged edges of recorded images. With a removable IR-cut filter, the Network Camera

always provides high-quality images in both daytime and nighttime. An RS-485 port is designed for external

pan/tilt/zoom devices. It supports DC12V output for external devices like IR light.

• Sharp Image Monitoring

- DCS-3110 provides high quality real-time videos in MPEG-4 and JPEG

compression with VGA/QVGA/QQVGA resolution. It is also suitable for narrow space surveillance, like an

elevator.

• View Live Video from a 3G Mobile Phone

-

The live video feed of the Network Camera can be pulled from

the 3G cellular network by using a compatible cell phone or PDA with a 3G video player. Users are offered

a flexible and convenient way to remotely monitor a home or office in real time, anywhere within the 3GPP

anywhere within the 3GPP

service area.

• Wired PoE Access

-

For effective surveillance in or around a building, this camera comes with a built-in

802.3af compliant Power Over Ethernet (PoE) module, which eases the installation process and also gives

you the freedom to place the camera where it’s needed. In addition, the 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet port

provides convenient connection to an Ethernet network or to broadband Internet via a router.

• Smart & Easy To Use

-

The software allows you to view up to 32 cameras on a single computer screen at

one central location. Users can set up automated e-mail alerts to be instantly informed of unusual activities.

In addition, this network camera supports the universal plug-n-play (UPnP

™

) feature, which allows computers

running on Windows

®

XP/Vista to automatically recognize the camera and adds it to the network. Sign up

with one of the free Dynamic DNS services available on the web to assign a domain name to the camera

(e.g.mycamera.dlinkddns.com). This allows users to remotely access the camera without having to remember

the IP address.

• Supported Protocols

- DCS-3110 supports a wide variety of protocols such as RTSP, FTP, SMTP, NTP

and HTTP. In addition, the camera supports UPnP and DDNS.

• Web Configuration

- Using a Web browser, administrators can configure and manage the network camera

directly from its own web page via your network or the Internet. Up to 20 user accounts can be created with

privilege settings controlled by the administrator.

• Connection to External Devices

-

Supporting auxiliary Input/Output connectors, you can connect the

Network Camera to a variety of external devices such as IR-sensors, switches and alarm relays. Combined

with programmable alarm equipment, you can develop a variety of security applications that are triggered

on alarm-based events. The Network Camera provides an industry standard in/out external connector for

connectivity.

•

MPEG4 Multicast Stream Support

– Unicast video is delivered through point-to-point transmission. On

the other hand, with a multicast stream, the server streams to a multicast IP address on the network, and

clients receive the stream by subscribing to the IP address. Because there is only one stream from the server

regardless of the number of clients receiving the stream, a multicast stream requires the same amount of

bandwidth as a single unicast stream containing the same content. Using a multicast stream preserves

network bandwidth.

•

Samba Client Support

– DCS-3110 has a built-in Samba client for NAS, and hence does not require a

DCS-3110 has a built-in Samba client for NAS, and hence does not require a

a built-in Samba client for NAS, and hence does not require a

direct connection to a PC or any other hardware or software to capture and transfer images.
