YOKO uses USB interface let IP camera be more flexible to be used on WiFi or 3.5G solution


        Most of IP camera manufactures use embedded module to do wireless function. The problem is that customer doesn’t sure they want to wire or wireless when he buy IP camera. YOKO keeps the USB interface on backplane. We use USB dongle to extend it’s function. If user wants WiFi solution, he only needs to buy the 802.11n WiFi USB dongle from us. If user wants 3.5G SIM card solution, he only needs to buy the 3.5G USB dongle from us. So user can buy the IP camera body first for wire application. User buy the USB dongle when he feel to need the wireless function. It’s more flexible.
        Maybe someone will ask: “it’s easier to be removed”. If you are the hacker, do you spend more time to remove it? If I’m hacker, I will destroy the IP camera by hammer. The same issue is discussed many years ago. Surveillance camera uses the Y connector to be power connector many years ago. Many professional said that it’s more rugged than phone jack. It seems that hacker can remove the phone jack easily, so we need to use Y connector. Today, no one use Y connector to be power connector in surveillance camera. Why? Because hacker will not spend time to remove it. The phone jack is more convenience than Y connector.
        USB interface issue is as same as power connector issue. Hacker’s thinking is different with us.
