It’s edge-cut and does not compromise capability if price is affordable. Compro Technology, founded in 1988, a digital audio/video and IP security manufacturer, launch Compro IP570 PTZ network camera comes with best-in-class progressive scan CMOS sensor; the tri-codec compression architecture, which developed based on Compro's latest H.264 algorithm, can deliver large 1.3 megapixel HD resolution without compromising vivid picture quality. This advanced structure also allows user control of bit rate and detailed configurations of dual streaming channels if bandwidth is a concern on application level.
On the audio side, Compro is not thrifty. IP570 comes with a rarely seen, full-scale audio infrastructure which includes a built-in microphone and two audio line ports, providing necessity for full duplex, bi-directional audio communications. Once external speaker is connected, and with built-in surrounding audio detection function, IP570 is both an effective real-time management communicator and a crime deterrent.

While delivering sharp and crispy image during daytime, Compro IP570 also reproduces image fabulously at night. The mechanical ICR-controlled OLPF can accurately deflect IR light in the morning and turn on IR LEDs at night or any user-defined schedule, allowing true Day & Night illumination at 0 Lux lighting condition. With at least 15 meters of illuminated distance, IP570 can effective safeguard virtually most sizes of indoor space without night-vision obstacles.
 IP570 employs authentic mechanical IR cut filter (ICR) with optical low-pass filter (OLPF) and 850 nm IR LEDs, providing true Day & Night illumination for home and small business protection needs.

As for PTZ functions, IP570 comes with a large 12x optical zoom lens which is auto focus and auto iris enabled. Mechanics of panning and tilting system is also admirable; panning at a speed of 45 degree per second shows it no toy. The 30x configurable patrol locations conveniently allow user-defined safeguarding tour for the regular need or in the wake of triggered events.
 
IP570 also comes with multi-zone intelligent video motion detection and optional 3 x sensor inputs and 3 x alarm outputs. Once an event is triggered, users can receive instant SMS event notification without having the needs of expensive GPRS modem and SIM card pre-installed with the camera. To verify the event, if users are on the move, they can use popular handset platforms such as Android, BlackBerry, iPhone or Windows Mobile to access real-time remotely. If there is a cybercafé nearby, the free 16Ch WebVUer can be made available via most popular web browsers such as Internet Explorer or Firefox without software pre-installation requirement. If more advanced protection framework is required, the free bundled 32Ch ComproView IP Video Surveillance System is ready to enforce.
Last but not least, it is cost-effective since it is the core component of Compro Home Solution. Price is everything to home security market and Compro knows that.
