This product requires computer professional with sufficient network and video skills to install.

Note:

1. Viewing by Windows Media streaming is limited to 10 concurrent connections for each camera.

2. Motion detection may not be appropriately for areas where the scenes constantly change.

3. If the computer is behind a firewall or sharing the same IP address with a router, please make sure your networking hardware supports virtual server or IP forwarding and you know how to configure it. The networking features of WCSA440en follows TCP/IP standards and are very easy to setup. Webcam Corp. provides limited instructions for some routers in support pages. However, it is your sole responsibility to configure the networking environments properly in order to make the networking features work. WCSA440en is just like telephones. You can't dial out or receive phone calls without proper service ready even your telephone is working ok. It is your sole responsibility to have proper wiring and phone service ready in order to receive or initiate a phone call.

4. Authentication is not available if accessed directly by Windows Media Player.

5. The actual frame rate depends on the computer speed and various factors including the speed of the network and computer.

6. XP Professional is recommended. Windows 2003 Server is fine but they are not designed for front end, multimedia oriented tasks. XP Professional/Home provides more multimedia related support compare to the server OSs. However, you may want to use server OS if you need to have very high video quality as the server OS supports more CPUs. Hence provide more CPU cycles for video encoding.

For hardware, workstation class PCs with fast and large storage are recommended. Server PCs are usually designed for backend tasks (e.g. database server). Hence server PCs usually come with very limited video, multimedia, hardware compatibility/support. (E.g. you may still find server PC with old display chip and with only 8M memory today.)
