Actually IPClient software is a very good PC client, it relise 24/7 monitoring. It's valueable for us to research and enjoy it.

APEXIS APM-J011-WS supports frame rate adjustment, this is very important.
1. Full speed: 25/30fps
2. 20fps
3. 15fps
4. 10fps
5. 5fps
6. 4fps
7. 3fps
8. 2fps
9. 1fps
10. 1fp/2s
11. 1fp/3s
12. 1fp/4s
13. 1fp/5s



We use PC to do recording, and normally, the hardisk is not so big enough, from 10GB-1TB, we know the MJPEG cameras with low video compression, it means, if realtime with VGA, 1 hour, the record file may upto 900MB, if all the video content has movement, the record will be upto 1GB to 1.2GB.
We could say, 24hours recording, VGA, realtime, average upto 24GB/day.
if use 1TB hardisk,
1 camera, means approx 67days.
2 cameras, means approx 21days.
3 cameras, means approx 14days.
4 cameras, means approx 10days.

Then, if we set the rate, such as 5fps, VGA, 1 hour, record file upto 600MB. Average 14GB/day.
For 1TB hardisk,
1camera, means approx 73days.
2 cameras, means approx 37days.
3 cameras, means approx 24days.
4 cameras, means approx 18days.

If set 1fp/5s, VGA, 1hour, record file only 37MB.

And, If use APEXIS IPClient(CMS) software, set MPEG-4 video compression, VGA, realtime, 1 hour, approx 140MB.
So, for MPEG-4 video compression, the value as below:
Realtime, VGA, average 3.3GB/day
For 1TB hardisk,
1camera, means approx 310days.
2 cameras, means approx 155days.
3 cameras, means approx 103days.
4 cameras, means approx 78days.

So, end-users can set the frame rate or user IPClient software according to their device and hardisk. One more function for the IPClient software, it supports auto cover function, means if the hardisk is full, it will cover the oldest file automatically, excellent function!!!

Good looking on the package .and i have bought one camera from the Germany reseller ,there is with Germany user manual ,that is wonderful .

I get some pictures from internet, the LED color is different, it's not a orginal APEXIS IP Camera, but the flash LED work mode is similar

1. Blink when network connected, Off when no connection
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_m16_YxsBJsw/SvQSSerCgXI/AAAAAAAAMCE/TaBEpxaUqL4/IpCamLedEth.gif

2. Blink when network connected, Slow blink when no connection
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_m16_YxsBJsw/SvQSSoSZA0I/AAAAAAAAMCI/PFM8P5Aqr44/IpCamLedSearch.gif

3. Always off

When WIFI connected, flash the fastest
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_m16_YxsBJsw/SvQSShcp-8I/AAAAAAAAMCM/zBdG9E14BwE/IpCamLedWiFi.gif



Original APEXIS IP Camera's Flash LED is White color, not GREEN






Work with WIFI mode, flash fast


CGI command:

http://[adresse.IP.cam]:port/set_misc.cgi?led_mode=0
http://[adresse.IP.cam]:port/set_misc.cgi?led_mode=1
http://[adresse.IP.cam]:port/set_misc.cgi?led_mode=2

0: mode 1 -- Blink when network connected, Off when no connection
1: mode 2 -- Blink when network connected, Slow blink when no connection
2: turn off lights -- Always off

Email service is very important too. We can set email alert, get alarm notification together with snapshots. APEXIS APM-J011-WS supports motion detection, every alarm triggered last 1 minute, take 6 snapshots during each alarm, the snapshots named by date and time, also it has the camera MAC address.

For example: 000DC5D1182F(WebSite_J011)_m20110630175134.jpg

000DC5D1182F: MAC address of the camera
(WebSite_J011): the name of the camera
m20110630175134: date and time of the snapshot.

APEXIS APM-J011-WS support Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo/Web/Freenet/Aol...etc.
Attention: Some email server need to active SMTP function firstly.

Here comes some email setting snapshots for everybody

Google: gmail http://mail.google.com

1. Use TLS with port 465


2. Use STARTTLS with port 587


these snapshots are from APEXIS APM-J0233-WS-IR, anyway, all of APEXIS MJPEG series works the same with email function.
Including
APM-J011-WS,
APM-J012-WS,
APM-J0233-WS-IR,
APM-J601-WS-IR,
APM-J602-WS-IR,
APM-J0118-WS,
APM-J801-WS,
APM-J802-WS,
APM-J901-Z-WS,
APM-J011-POE,
APM-J0233-IR-POE,
APM-J011-WS-IRC,
APM-J0233-WS-IRC
....

Pay attention to active SMTP firstly!

APEXIS APM-J011-WS is a normal model, as I checked, it came to the market from 2009, became popular on 2010, so, during these time, many users talked about the color problem. Especially for green color, it will become a little grey if under sunlight exposure. This is because the camera use IR Lens, this lens will cause color change under certain enviroument.

From 2011, the technology of IR-CUT became mature, it used for APM-J011-WS and APM-J0233-WS-IR firstly, we say APM-J011-WS-IRC and APM-J0233-WS-IRC. With IR-CUT filter, the color looks more like original, this is a big advance, it looks we back to to nature again!

Some more snapshots:







Looks nice with IR-CUT!!! I like it

Most of the APEXIS IP cameras use 6mm lens. Foscam FI8908W use 3.6mm lens.

APEXIS said they can provide these lens for customers optional:
3.6mm : Wide angle, short distance
4.5mm: Middle angle, middle distance
6.0mm: Narrow angle, long distance.
Even 2.8mm for APM-J012-WS, 9mm or 12mm for outdoor model, like APM-J602-WS-IR.

I’m not sure the exact value of the angle, like 90 degree or 75 degree or 60 degree, something like that.

Some snapshots maybe for better understand. But I don’t have pictures right now, if somebody one day see my message, show us the truth!

For myself, i like optional, both 3.6mm and 6mm, because if i want to details more clearly, i can use 6mm, if want see a little wide angle, i can use 3.6mm.

3.6mm lens can't see long distance so clearly as 6mm lens.

Germany user manual sounds good!!!

I only have English version...

We often see the supplier say factory, but most of them are not real factory, some are traders, some are cheaters, how to extinguish? In my opinion, it’s difficult. Share some pictures from APEXIS Factory.
