Your UStec system is ready to handle all kinds of technologies. This section
shows a couple of interesting technologies that can be easily integrated into
your system. This section assumes you have Ethernet capability which is stan-

IP cameras
Imagine being able to see your who’s at your front door from work, or check
on the baby-sitter or see who’s using your pool when you are half way around

Ethernet. With an IntelliWAY server or the TP-IPR8 router, you can make these

could put more than ten thousand songs on your Intelliway hard drive.
To connect an MP3 player there are three connections. The first is a power
cable to plug into any outlet. The second is RCA or optical outputs for you’re
