Internet based video surveillance systems offer a completely new dimension to
your home or small business security plan. One of the biggest advantages gained
from using a wireless security camera for Internet based surveillance is the
ability to view captured video directly over the Internet.
Another positive feature of using a wireless Internet security camera is the
fact that you can often control the camera settings and camera angles remotely
through the Internet as well. This article takes a closer look at a popular line
of Internet security cameras called SecuriCam by D-Link.
The D-Link SecuriCam line contains a wide array of video surveillance cameras
and equipment that are perfect for your home or small business surveillance
needs. We will seek to take a brief survey of some of the key components of
their product line in an effort to help you determine if their equipment is best
suited for your specific surveillance needs.
- DCS-6620 and DCS-6620G -- This camera comes in a wired (DCS-6620) or
Wireless-G version (DCS-6620G). It features a 10x optical zoom lens and built in
microphone. With this camera, you can also remotely pan/tilt/zoom the camera
lens for greater viewing flexibility. Another unique feature of this camera
system is a two-way audio function. If you connect a speaker to the camera
itself, you can actually communicate remotely with subjects near the camera.
This camera is also built to work well in extremely low light conditions. The
camera requires a minimum of just .05 Lux, which means you can capture, and
record video in almost total darkness. This system is also designed to work with
up to 16 surveillance cameras. Given the ability to configure motion detection
settings and set recording schedules on such a large network of cameras, you can
implement a very comprehensive security network.
- DCS-3420 -- This camera is a wireless day/night Internet
camera that is designed for remote monitoring of your home or small business.
This camera offers the same remote monitoring and control features that come
with the DCS-6620 camera line mentioned above. The DCS-3420 however is better
suited for a wider array of lighting conditions. If you are in need of
performing frequent nighttime surveillance, this camera offers several
customization options that allow you to film in total darkness. Customizable
options include an IR illuminator which aides in the capture and viewing of
nighttime images. You can also add a night vision lens to this camera and an
outdoor camera enclosure, which make this camera perfect for outdoor nighttime
surveillance.
- DCS-2120 -- This camera is designed to provide live video
feeds directly to your 3G mobile phone or PDA. You can also configure this
system to transmit email alerts with live video feeds directly to your cell
phone when motion is detected. You can use this system to monitor video on your
personal computer, but this system is definitely designed with the mobile user
in mind.
These are just three options that are available in the extensive line of
camera products offered by D-Link. As you can see the range of features and
superior technology make this line of cameras a great choice for those of you
interested in implementing a comprehensive security network for your home or
office. Please visit the following link for more information on the complete
