One model that will help you to protect your home is the DCS-2100+ AirPlus 2.4 Ghz Wireless Internet Camera. It has many features and is a very affordable model.
First of all, the DCS sends streamlined video directly to your computer. This makes it very easy to view what was going on when you weren’t available. Many people use it to watch the happenings in their office or put the camera outside. Just the looks of the camera alone may deter any burglars from trying to enter your building.
Because the camera is wireless, you’ll find it very easy to use. You don’t have to run any wires through your home and worry about drilling holes through your wall during the installation. It is so easy that anyone can do it. A few simple steps and you’ll have your wireless surveillance camera working in just a few short minutes.
Users will also find the camera is very small and lightweight, which makes it very easy to mount. Weighing in at .7 pounds, the camera can be mounted on any wall and will not require any special hardware. Everything you need for mounting and installing the camera system will be included with your purchase.
The software that comes with this wireless surveillance camera system is also very easy to install and use. You do want to make certain your computer has the capabilities required, however. This system can be used with Windows XP, Windows ME, and Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition and you must have an available port for the system on your computer.
Wireless cameras are so very easy to use for almost any situation and the DCS is no different. Unfortunately, it does not have the ability to zoom in and out remotely. What this means is that if you are watching the video being streamlined on your computer monitor and you want to zoom in on something that is in camera range to get a better view, you will not be able to. If this is important to you, you may want to consider going with another system.
Last but not least, you will also want to consider the warranty on this wireless surveillance camera. Coming with a year warranty, it may not be the camera choice for you. Many individuals prefer to have them come with a warranty of at least two or more years. Price wise, however, you’ll find the $110 to be quite reasonable.
For those individuals who want to add to the security of their home or monitor what is going on at the office or home when they are not around, the DCS-2100+ AirPlus 2.4 Ghz Wireless Internet Camera will help you. It’s perfect for a nanny cam so that you can see how your children are being treated when you’re not home and it’s perfect for outside use to monitor any attempted break ins.
