+[[Roadmap#Update_on_353.2F363_cameras|353/363]]
-There are many network cameras (cameras that can serve images/video without computer) on the market today. Some can provide high frame rate video, but are limited to 705x480 pixels or less. There are even some high-resolution (megapixel) network cameras, but they usually need a second or more to compress a full size image.
+[[Using the cameras]]
-Elphel cameras can do both. They can serve full size (2592x1936) images really fast — at 15 frames per second. And much faster at lower resolutions. High resolution may be very useful for security applications — a single camera with a wide angle lens placed in the corner can see over the whole room with the same quality as a narrow angle NTSC camera placed on a pan/tilt platform. And it can see it all at the same time without the need for any scanning.
+[[Camera software]]
-Full resolution high frame rate even makes it possible to avoid using "digital pan-and-tilt" (sending out just a subwindow of the whole frame) — the usual way to overcome the slow operation of high resolution network cameras.
+[[Live CD]]
-Elphel cameras are powered by 48VDC through a LAN cable compliant to the IEEE 802.3af standard. This voltage makes it possible to use cables to the camera for about 100m - four times longer than 24VDC and 16 times longer than 12VDC — such lower voltages (not IEEE 802.3af compliant) are still used in some power over LAN cameras.
+[[Camera hardware]]
-All the embedded software and FPGA bitstream are stored in the camera flash memory which can be upgraded through the Internet.
+[[Diagnostic & repair]]
-There are other features that are useful for developers. Both the embedded software and FPGA hardware algorithms are Free Software.
+[[Development documentation]]
-This Manual will help you not only to learn to use Elphel cameras more effectively, but also allow you to develop the camera software and hardware yourself.
