The TRENDnet ProView TV-IP600W is a Wireless Pan/Tilt/Zoom surveillance camera designed to offer a greater viewing area with a 312-degree side-to-side pan and 115-degree up-and-down tilt. Like its non pan/tilt peers (such as the TV-IP501W or TV-IP512WN), the ProView TV-IP600W offers a maximum VGA resolution in addition to a 4x digital zoom, motion detection email alerts, and an advanced management system for creating and managing up to 64 user accounts. The camera doesn’t inherit two-way audio or Draft N Internet, though, as it’s instead restricted to one-sided audio and either Ethernet or 802.11b/g wireless connectivity.

D-Link DCS-3415

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:27:46 -0400

The D-Link DCS-3415 is an ultra-powerful LAN-based surveillance camera that combines the best of the DCS-1130 with the best of the DCS-6620. It inherits a ¼” CMOS sensor, VGA resolution @ 30fps, and 3GPP Mobile Surveillance from the former, while it picks up dual codec support, low-light sensitivity, and an optical zoom lens from the latter. However, this model upgrades from a 10x to an 18x lens, allowing security officials the detailed coverage to identify minute details, such as a name-tag ID number or a license plate. Since the DCS-3415 is geared for a professional application, it hosts a myriad of advanced connectivity options—a BNC connector for transmitting to a security monitor, an IR sensor port, a switch port, an alarm relay port, and an RS-485 interface for connecting to an optional Pan/Tilt enclosure.

D-Link DCS-5300

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:27:46 -0400

The D-Link DCS-5300 is a wired pan/tilt/zoom network camera designed as a budget-friendly, high-grade competitor to a traditional webcam. Unlike a webcam, the network camera hosts its own CPU and Web Server, which means it can be accessed from anywhere via Internet Explorer 5.X. To keep the price from becoming saturated, the manufacturers opted to rely on a relatively weak 320x240 resolution, which is in fact lower than even the average webcam. Regardless, the DCS-5300 hosts a bevy of other advanced features to make up for it—including integrated motion detection, a microphone for capturing audio as well, and bundled software for scheduling records and triggering motion detection.

It hosts both standard Ethernet and 802.11b/g connectivity, and once it’s connected, any Internet-enabled device can access its video feed. It’s similar to the D-Link DCS-6620, except that it hosts a weaker 4x digital zoom (plus its peer is strictly wired). Like its counterpart, the DCS-3420 can be customized with an optional IR illuminator to capture and view recordings in situations where there is practically no light whatsoever. Additional features include dual-codec support (MPEG-4 & MJPEG), 2-way audio (though external speakers are required), and Plug n Play compatibility, meaning the unit can be setup by even those with limited technical expertise.
