The DCS-5635 comes with a high-speed motorised pan, tilt and optical/digital zoom for extensive monitoring and object tracking. Its 10x optical zoom lens claims to deliver the level of detail necessary to identify faces, license plate numbers and other important details.
The DCS-5635 also provides support for 3GPP Mobile Surveillance — allowing the user to view a live video feed from a compatible Internet-ready mobile phone or PDA with a 3GPP player installed — for on-the-go monitoring. To maximise bandwidth efficiency and improve image quality, it supports real-time video compression in MJPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264 formats.
“Users can sign up to a free Dynamic DNS service on the web to assign a name and domain to the camera to remotely access it without its IP address. 2-way audio with a built-in microphone and audio-out port is also included to communicate with anyone in close proximity,” said the company.
Offering both Ethernet and 802.11n wireless interfaces the DCS-5635 supports WEP and WPA-PSK/TKIP for establishing secure connections to a wireless network.
This new network camera also offers an auto-start motion detector that can be configured, for example, to start recording and send an email alert when triggered. It can be configured to record video to a connected PC or network attached storage device when motion is detected or it can be scheduled to record at certain times throughout the day.
The DCS-5635 Wireless N Pan/Tilt/Zoom Network Surveillance Camera is available now for $1398.
