This a 1MP board camera in a small metal housing that was purchased on eBay and sold as being "for bank ATM machine use" and as having "face detection" like many other such cameras also are. The camera apparently does have a face detection function, however
mentioning face detection appears to simply be a sales tactic as the camera, and most likely all of the other cameras as well, actually come with the software needed to implement the function (at least mine didn't and I doubt many, if any, do)
This camera is similar to the TOP-201 that started the TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!) thread
on the IP Cam Talk forum that I mentioned on my IPC Board Camera Mod's page. There are only a few posts about this particular camera as it's from a different manufacture than the thread mainly deals with, however information in other
posts is often general enough to be useful regardless of the camera.
There's not enough space in a camera enclosure as small as this cameras to add a PoE board without leaving the back of the enclosure off and letting the PoE board extend out the back and this first image (right) was taken after adding a PoE board and shows how far the board
sticks out the back of this camera.
Adding this PoE board was much the same as what's already been shown on my previous IP camera pages and this ELP-IP188_Camera_Mods.pdf has all the wiring and other details needed so I'm only going to show what was a bit different this
time.
