Using the pan and tilt feature along with 4x digital zoom2, users can zero-in on a subject much more effectively. Simply record video onto your network-based PC or take full advantage of your NAS device by recording video directly onto it. In addition, snapshots/video clips can be instantly taken while viewing the camera’s video feed directly through a Web browser.

While monitoring, you can also listen to anyone within close proximity to the camera’s built-in microphone. Furthermore, the DCS-5220 allows you to schedule both recorded video and snapshots to be uploaded onto a ftp server and sent via e-mail.

The DCS-5300 Internet Camera differs from a conventional PC Camera because the DCS-5300 is a stand-alone device with a built-in CPU and Web server that allows you to access your camera using Internet Explorer 5.X or above from anywhere in the world.

The D-Link DCS-5300 Internet Camera also has a pan, tilt, and digital zoom function that can be controlled from the Web interface or from the included remote control. Auto pan mode enables the camera to move 270 degrees horizontally and the Patrol mode cycles through up to 20 preset positions. The speed of either pan or tilt can be adjusted to your preference. The 4x digital zoom lens enables the camera to obtain a closer view.

The D-Link DCS-5300 Internet Camera comes with a CCD sensor that provides a sharp and clear image with life-like color representation. The sensor is a CCD sensor with resolution of 380 TV lines. The built-in microphone adds sound that accompanies the video. Altogether, you can record streaming video with sound that utilizes high quality MPEG4 Short Header Mode Compression to your hard drive, enable motion detection, and set up automated e-mail alert notification.

A powerful surveillance software is included to enhance the monitoring and management of your DCS-5300. The bundled surveillance software further enhances the security features of the DCS-5300, allowing you to archive streaming video and audio straight to your hard drive, playback video, monitor as many as 16 cameras on a single screen, and set up motion detection to trigger automatic recording.

By signing up with one of the many Dynamic DNS services, you can assign an easy-to-remember name and domain (e.g. www.mycamera.myddns.com). This allows you to remotely access your camera without having to remember the IP address, even if it has been changed by your Internet Service Provider.

The DCS-6620 Network Camera features motorized pan, tilt, and optical/digital zoom, giving you greater remote viewing options. With a 10x optical zoom auto focus/auto iris lens, get greater clarity from your recordings than digital zoom alone. The 10x optical zoom lens delivers the level of detail necessary to identify people, license plate numbers, and other important details that are difficult to clearly view with digital zoom.

With support for both Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 recording, the DCS-6620 is well suited for various recording scenarios. Motion JPEG delivers greater file integrity, making it ideal for critical monitoring situations. MPEG-4 video has smaller file sizes, making it more useful for extended recording periods or for use in low bandwidth networks.

The DCS-6620 Network Camera also utilizes D-Link's 2-Way Audio feature with its built-in microphone. Attach a speaker to the DCS-6620 and remotely communicate with subjects near the camera. An ideal location to use the 2-Way Audio feature includes point-of-entry areas, where you might want to identify a person before granting access.

With the ability to record video in low light settings, the DCS-6620 can provide exceptional nighttime surveillance. Extreme low light sensitivity of .05 Lux enables recording in near total darkness.

You can remotely monitor your camera using a web-based interface via the Internet, or through D-Link's IP surveillance software. The web-based interface lets up to 10 simultaneous users to view the live feed from the camera. Using the feature-rich IP surveillance program, monitor and manage up to 16 cameras, set recording schedules, configure motion detection settings, and change settings on a single or multiple cameras.
