Security via surveillance is a key factor in driving the sales of network cameras. In fact, research firm In-Stat says networked cameras will exceed those of analogue cameras by 2007.

Linksys’s brand new Compact Wireless-G Internet Video Camera (WVC54GC) wirelessly connects to a home or small office network and distributes a live video stream via the Internet to a Web browser accessible on virtually any Windows-based PC, enabling you to easily monitor your most important assets.

Unlike standard Web cameras requiring an attached PC, the Internet Video Camera contains its own IP address, so you can connect to an existing Ethernet or Wireless network. The camera’s ($99.99/£56.99) compact form factor and wireless connectivity provide the flexibility to mount the WVC54GC on even the most remote wall or simply slip it into the included desktop stand for more local monitoring.

An easy-to-remember name can be assigned to the WVC54GC through the SoloLink domain service from Linksys to ease the process of accessing recorded content. When its security mode is activated, the WVC54GC will send e-mail alerts with video clips to up to three e-mail addresses upon detecting motion within its field of view.

Advanced features of the WVC54GC include automated monitoring from Intamac via a remote server-based platform. When the camera detects motion, the Intamac platform begins to record the video feed, storing up to 2 minutes of images.

The Intamac Home Manager secure online account provides simple and highly secure access to retrieve the recorded images, and to view the live video streams from all cameras in the home. If you are unable to access a computer at that time, you can also request images be sent to you mobile phone via MMS or as a video clip for viewing.
