Linksys unveils wireless Internet video camera for small businesses
Linksys, a division of Cisco Systems, Inc., a provider of voice, wireless and networking hardware for the consumer, Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) and small business customer, has launched 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.
Sanjeev Gupta, Linksys regional sales director for Asia, said, "We've designed a camera that provides small businesses the tool they need to monitor their office during business hours or while they are away. 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."
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. Software is included for multiple camera monitoring, and recording to a hard drive with advanced search by time and date. 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.
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 cell phone. Up to three e-mail alerts can be sent, including a short video clip in an email attachment.
The Linksys Wireless-G PTZ Internet Camera with Audio (WVC200) is now available and priced at Rs. 19,900.
