  FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA, Aug 12 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
D-Link, the end-to-end networking solutions provider for consumer and
business, today introduced three high-end fixed network cameras designed
for professional surveillance and security applications providing
powerful and versatile security solutions for businesses of any size
requiring local or remote monitoring with features including Day & Night
viewing, Megapixel sensors, high power zoom and Power over Ethernet (PoE)
support.

    Now shipping is the D-Link(R) Day & Night Megapixel Camera with PoE
Support (DCS-3110), equipped with a 1.3-megapixel progressive scan CMOS
sensor and 6-milimeter lens (interchangeable with aftermarket lenses) for
capturing a wider field of view with resolution up to 1280 x 1024. The
DCS-3110 has a built-in ICR filter to provide automatic day/night
functionality, adjusting the image from color during the day and in low
light conditions to monochrome at night for poor lighting conditions.

    Also now available is the D-Link Day & Night Camera with CCD sensor and
PoE support (DCS-3410) with low-light video capture features, including
0.3 Lux light sensitivity for capturing video anytime, day or night.
Additionally, it supports optional CS mount standard lenses such as an
auto-iris lens, IR LED lens or a night vision illuminator, to record
video in environments with little or no light.

    Rounding out the new business class camera offerings is the D-Link Day &
Night Camera with 18x optical zoom & PoE support (DCS-3415), equipped with
an 18x optical zoom lens and progressive scan CCD sensor to capture vivid
images of moving objects and effectively reduce motion blur, distortion,
and jagged edges of recorded images to deliver exceptional picture
quality.

    "Our new feature-rich D-Link DCS network camera offerings provide premiere
digital surveillance solutions for small, medium and even large businesses
requiring professional, state-of-the-art security monitoring," said Chris
Wong, director of product management, D-Link Systems, Inc. "No matter what
the lighting environment, these cameras provide outstanding picture
quality and offer user-friendly features, flexible connectivity and
convenient remote monitoring capabilities."

    The three new D-Link DCS series network cameras include 802.3af PoE to
receive both power and data over a single Ethernet cable, allowing the
cameras to be placed in locations without a power outlet. The surveillance
cameras support simultaneous streaming of MPEG-4 and MJPEG video to
provide both high quality and bandwidth efficient compression formats.
MJPEG delivers greater file integrity, making it ideal for detailed
monitoring situations, while MPEG-4 video has smaller file sizes,
offering a useful solution for extended recording periods or for use in
low bandwidth networks.

    The D-Link network cameras include digital input and output ports offering
flexible connectivity to external devices such as IR sensors, switches and
alarm relays. They are equipped with RS-485 interfaces, providing
connectivity to optional Pan/Tilt enclosures that effectively adds
pan/tilt functionality. The cameras also include 12V interfaces for
powering optional LED illuminators.

    The new DCS cameras include support for 3GPP Mobile Surveillance, allowing
the user to view a live video feed from a compatible Internet-ready mobile
phone with a 3GPP player installed. This feature extends monitoring
capability without requiring the use of a computer, letting the user check
the camera's video feed while on the go.

    The cameras come with built-in microphones and audio ports allowing 2-way
audio communication when an external speaker is connected, and also
include audio switches to ensure privacy when needed. They feature a
built-in Samba client for network-attached storage (NAS) so there is not
need for a direct connection to a PC, hardware or software to capture and
transfer video or images.

    For convenient management, the surveillance cameras include D-Link
D-ViewCam(TM) 2.0 software enabling the user to manage up to 32 network
cameras, set e-mail alert notifications, set recording schedules, and
trigger motion detection to record directly to a hard drive. To further
simplify the management process, the D-ViewCam 2.0 software also lets the
user upload a business floor plan and create a realistic layout of where
cameras are located.

    The cameras are also standards-based which allows them to be managed by
third-party software applications.
