4.1 Introduction 

This is the key feature of the IPC98 network camera which works like a remote digital camera. 
Assume you have placed camera IPC98 miles away, now, you want to take a real time snap and 
see what the camera is “seeing”, using any PC browser or cell-phone which support internet 
connection, you can get the photo anytime, anywhere.

First of all, you need to know what the IP address of the camera. Please refer to Chapter 3 for 
details.  

 
4.2.1 PC/Notebook. Assume you have the machine connected to network, doesn’t matter it is wired or 
wireless, using any web browser: simply type in “ 

http://cam_ip_address/image.jpg

 “ you can get the 

photo to display in the browser. Note that the image size is 1600x1200, it may take some time to

the web.
