Challenge

i-PRO solution

Step1
System design

  • Complicated

  • Time-consuming

  • Require know-how and experience

  • You can simulate any design or any setting

  • Dedicated software isn't required, it on the web any time/any place

Step 2
IP Setting

  • Need to open the box and  setting up

  • Time- consuming if you need to setting up many cameras

  • Just open the small window , you can set up your cameras

Step 3
Camera installation

  

  • You can simulate any design or any setting

  • Dedicated software isn't required, it on the web any time/any place

Step 4
Camera / Application configuration

  • Configuration error will happen when you configure cameras individually

  • When the trouble occurs, it takes time to grasp the situation and resolve it

  • Batch camera setting

  • Comprehensive support from kitting to maintenance

 

 

Pre-configured with easy kitting

i-PRO provides various tools which help to make system design and configuration process easier and more efficient

 

  • Camera design optimized for easy installation
  • Installation tools
  • Pre-configured with easy kitting
