| New wireless-G monitoring camera At the 2006 International Consumer Electronics Show, Linksys will demonstrate the Compact Wireless-G Internet Video Camera (WVC54GC-UK), its latest monitoring device, providing users an affordable means to monitor the home and office via a web browser, from anywhere in the world. This compact, self-contained unit sends a high-quality live video stream through the Internet. Unlike standard "web cams" requiring an attached PC, the Internet Video Camera contains its own IP address, so users can easily connect to an existing Ethernet or Wireless network. The camera's unique compact form-factor and wireless connectivity means it can be easily mounted on a wall or slipped into its included stand for desktop use. Once connected to a home network and the Internet, the user is able to see the clear camera view from any Windows-based PC, in the house or office. The audio video stream can be secured from the outside world when the user is inside the home but can easily be made accessible using the Internet for remote access viewing. Advanced features of the WVC54GC-UK include automated monitoring from Intamac via a remote server-based platform. When the camera detects motion, the Intamac platform begins to record the video feed, storing up to 2 minutes of images. At the same time, automated alerts can be sent via text message, a telephone call or by e-mail informing a customer that motion was detected by the camera at their home or place of business. The Intamac Home Manager secure online account provides simple and highly secure access to retrieve the recorded images, and to view the live video streams from all cameras in the home. If the customer is unable to access a computer at that time, they can also request images be sent to their mobile phone via MMS or as a video clip for viewing. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
