Looking to provide budget-friendly solutions for home and office surveillance, D-Link has released two new IP cameras. The D-Link Wireless G Network Camera (DCS-920) connects wirelessly to a home or small business network, provides remote video monitoring, and can be mounted in difficult areas not conducive to wired cameras. The more affordable D-Link DCS-910 connects to the network using a standard Ethernet cable.
D-Link has unveiled a new PTZ network camera designed for whole-room video surveillance in homes, offices, and small businesses. The D-Link SecuriCam Pan/Tilt/Zoom Network Camera (D-Link DCS-5610) can be mounted on the ceiling or wall, and allows users to remotely control pan, tilt, and zoom functions in order to achieve wide-area surveillance from a single camera.
We've talked about the new Smartvue S8 IP camera system before, and now we have a good idea when it will hit the market - January, 2009. That's the expected ship date for this intriguing solution for home and small business surveillance. Smartvue S8 is an integrated plug-and-play surveillance system that uses compact, wireless IP cameras along with a 1TB video recorder. Wireless connectivity allows for flexible installation, and users can monitor the cameras remotely on their PCs or cell phones.

This all-in-one solution can operate over an existing network, is easy to set up, and enables remote video viewing. Users can access the camera and view streaming video from any computer connected to the internet. The DCS-2121 connects to a home or office network using a wireless connection for extremely flexible installation in almost any location.
