New IP Camera Enables Remote Controlled Wireless Video Through a Web
Browser
Linksys(R), a Division of Cisco Systems, Inc., the recognised
leading provider of voice, wireless and networking hardware for the consumer,
SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) and small business customer, today announced the
immediate availability of the Linksys Wireless-G Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Internet
Camera with Audio (WVC200). The new PTZ Internet Camera, part of the Linksys
Business Series of products, can send live video and audio through the Internet
to be seen and heard through a web browser anywhere in the world making for
simple access for mobile workers or remote users.
Unlike standard "web
cams" requiring an attached PC, the PTZ Internet Camera contains its own IP
address, so businesses can easily connect it to an existing Ethernet or Wireless
network. The WVC200 comes equipped with a LCD screen on the front of the camera
that displays the IP address so multiple cameras can be easily
managed.
"We've designed a camera that provides small businesses the tool
they need to monitor their office during businesses hours or while they are
away," said Tunji Akintokun, regional sales manager for Linksys in the United
Kingdom and Ireland. "The camera can be accessed over the Internet, enabling the
office to be remotely monitored. Users can be alerted by email or phone when
unexpected movement has occurred after hours, eliminating the need to actively
monitor the camera. It's an ideal solution for providing peace of mind at the
price small business budgets can afford."
Remote Controlled
Viewing
The WVC200 images can be password protected or can be left open
for the world to see. Support for Dynamic DNS enables access to the camera by
using an easy-to-remember URL "name", even if the business is using a dynamic IP
address.
The Pan/Tilt and 2X digital zoom function allows for remote
control of the camera's movement and focus remotely. Up to 10 simultaneous users
can have access to the camera at any point in time. Software is included for
multiple camera monitoring, and recording to a hard drive with advanced search
by time and date. Recording can be set up to record by motion trigger, manual or
schedule recording and playback on Windows Media Player without the need for a
proprietary player.
Advanced Video Features
The advanced MPEG-4
video compression produces a high-quality, high-frame rate, 640x480 video
stream. MPEG-4 encoding facilitates good video quality in varying bandwidth
environments. The WVC200 also supports MJPEG compression for video, providing
good video quality at high bandwidth rates.
The comprehensive video
features include an Infrared (IR) cut filter which allows you to see the images
in low or no light environments when an external IR lamp is used. Snapshots (in
JPEG format) of the image can be taken and saved. Snapshots can also be
scheduled and sent to an FTP server.
Security for Peace of
Mind
Advanced features of the PTZ Internet Camera include a Security
mode. When the camera detects motion, it begins to record the video and audio
feed and simultaneously sends an e-mail alert to the office, a pager or a mobile
telephone. Up to four e-mail alerts can be sent, including a short video clip in
an email attachment. Users can then log onto the live video stream if the
situation warrants. Wireless Local Area Network (LAN) security features include
WEP and WPA encryption.
