Interesting Technical
Tidbits:
-
There are presets, just hit the down arrow.
-
Camera Video, Picture (and Sound if enabled) is thru a DSL Connection.
(That means slow).
-
The more people on, the slower the connection.
-
After 10 minutes, The Live Video will be a snapshot taken every 3 seconds.
-
After 10 minutes of no activity, it should return to wide shot of Marina.
-
Why does the picture appear out of focus? It is a 3x Zoom Lens then
kicks in the Digital Zoom. The old camera had digital zoom only.
This Camera has a glass zoom lens (3x). Then, when its zoomed all the way
out, zooming continues digitally. It's the digital zoom that looks out
of focus. It's more like a big magnifying glass on a small picture but
it is duplicating the surrounding pixels (dots) in the picture. This makes
the pixels appear larger then they really are and fills in the spaces (between
pixels), losing detail. So, the zooming is a telescope first, then a magnifying
glass second.
-
If your having issues, lower the resolution.
-
For "Internet Explorer", you need to turn on Active X (It will ask).
-
Other Browser will need Java Code
-
Currently the max is set for 10 users.
-
Seems to work for iPad & iPod Users
-
