this information to the main terminal for verification purposes.

Functional Description
The functionality of the NetCam system is comparable to an answering machine,
while exceeding its capabilities by far: The dialing process originates from the active
ViewStation application on a receiving PC to the remote NetCam unit. When dialed-
up and after verification of caller authorization (password, caller number), the NetCam
unit starts to transmit audio and video data. The video information is displayed in a
window on the screen. All functions of the connected camera, e.g. pan, tilt or zoom
features, as well as all NetCam-internal parameters such as picture quality, activation
of relay outputs or audio on/off are remote controlled.
The remote configuration capabilities of NetCam allow the programming of alarm tele-
phone numbers to be dialed automatically in case of an alert. In order to aid in the
identification of different remote units, each potentially equipped with several camer-
as, a unit and camera name can be configured and stamped into the live video. In ad-
dition, date and time information is inserted into the video signal before coding, thus
providing an unalterable reference to alarm events.
The remote configuration extends to the parameter settings of the serial interfaces
and a user-configurable access password. Firmware upgrades can be downloaded
into the NetCam unit via ISDN / Modem / GSM as soon as they become available.
This convenient feature puts an end to on-site service by a technician.
The ViewStation software decoder automatically adapts to the features offered by the
respective remote site. For example, control of the additional video and alarm inputs
of a NetCam6 unit or the setting of the CCD-sensor for a NetCamPlus remote site are
easily accomplished.
