Camera images can be monitored from a PC, both on-site and over the Internet. You can even use your mobile phone to view
still images when you’re out of the house.

Live camera images can be viewed and buffered (i.e., stored in memory) in both MPEG-4 and JPEG (MJPEG) formats, allowing
you to select the video format that best suits your needs.

The camera features a built-in microphone that allows you to monitor the audio while viewing live camera images using your PC.

The camera’s motion detection feature allows you to buffer or transfer camera images when the camera detects motion in the
camera image.

Camera images can be automatically buffered at specific times, when the camera’s external sensors (customer-provided) are
triggered, or when the camera detects motion. You can program the camera to buffer these camera images, and then you can
play back these images later while accessing the camera or save them to your PC. You can also program the camera to transfer
images by E-mail or upload them to an FTP or HTTP server as they are being buffered.

When viewing camera images from a PC, you can zoom up to 10

× (by area) and get a closer look. You can use your mouse to

zoom in and out simply.

When connecting the camera to a UPnP™ compatible router, the camera’s network settings can be automatically configured,
making setup quick and easy. For more information, see Operating Instructions.

After registering your camera with the Viewnetcam.com service, you can access the camera while away from home using an
easy to remember Internet address of your choosing, such as ***.viewnetcam.com. For more information, see Operating
Instructions.

All camera pages can be displayed in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
The most commonly used camera pages can be displayed in Korean.

The BL-C121 supports wireless standards IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g, giving you the option of using the camera in either
wired or wireless mode. When used in wireless mode, WEP, WPA-PSK(TKIP), and WPA2-PSK(AES) support ensures that
access to the camera is secure.
