LevelOne FCS-7111 - Manual (Page 3)

User's Manual - 3
Overview
LevelOne FCS-7111 is a 1-CH video server supporting the high-performance H.264 compression format
that drastically reduces file sizes and conserves valuable bandwidth and storage space. With MPEG-4
and MJPEG compatibility, video streams also can be transmitted in either of these formats for versatile
applications. The streams can also be individually configured with separate frame rates, resolution, and
image quality so as to meet different needs or bandwidth constraints. Users can receive multiple streams
simultaneously in different settings for viewing on different platforms such as PCs or mobile phones.
The integrated 802.3af compliant PoE function reduces cabling problems, making the FCS-7111 a cost-
effective surveillance solution. The built-in SD/SDHC card slot offers a convenient and portable storage
option to prevent data loss in case of network disconnection. Since all data can be stored on a SD/SDHC
card, the on-board storage design significantly reduces bandwidth consumption.
The FCS-7111 comes with LevelOne’s ST7501 32-CH central management software for high scalability
and easy-to-use operation. With the FCS-7111, you can upgrade to a full-featured, high-end IP
surveillance solution using existing infrastructure.
