1. Introduction
1.1. Model 87A00-1 Camera Server
The 87A00-1 Camera Server is a device that transmits video and audio data via network in real-time.
The server converts the analog video signals and audio signals into digital data and compresses them
for on-line transmission. Cameras can then be viewed at home or over the Internet on a PC,
OmniTouch 5.7e, OmniTouch 10p, or handheld mobile device, such as PDA, Smartphone, or other
device running Windows
® Mobile operating system, using HAI Snap-Link Mobile (1120M) or HAI WL3
(1112). Additionally, these cameras can be viewed on an iPhone TM when HAI WL3 is used.
Since the server has a built-in web server and network interface, it may not require additional hardware,
software, or programming (besides configuring IP address) to view live video transmissions. After
connecting all the cameras to the Camera Server and configuring its IP address, the Camera Server
can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection.
