Abstract:
1. A camera connectible to a CCTV network, comprising: a camera lens and image sensor that together receive images; an image processing circuit connected to the image sensor that outputs image signal data corresponding to the images received; an video input connector which receives video signals; a video conversion circuit connected to the video input connector which outputs image signal data corresponding to the video signals received; a camera microcontroller that controls circuits, including the image sensing circuit and the video conversion circuit; a storage device that stores the image signal data corresponding to the images received by the image sensor or the image signal data corresponding to the video signals received by the video input connector; a network adapter that connects to an internet-protocol address corresponding to a network device capable of serving files; wherein the microcontroller selectively transmits image signal data corresponding to the images received by the image sensor or transmits image signal data corresponding to the video signals received by the video input connector from the storage device of the digital camera to the network device capable of serving files via the network adapter and the internet-protocol address.
