D-LINK EXTENDS SECURITY PRODUCT LINE WITH AFFORDABLE WIRELESS INTERNET CAMERA FOR THE DIGITAL HOME

Sydney & Auckland, February 10, 2004 — D-Link, a global leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of networking, broadband, wireless, and communications technologies for the SOHO, SMB and enterprise markets,, today announced an affordable and compact Wireless Security Camera (DCS-900W) that includes a fully integrated web server to serve live streaming video to be viewed anywhere in the world. The new Wireless D-Link Internet Camera seamlessly connects to a wireless network and can be placed virtually anywhere including nursery rooms, bookcases, entryways and small offices for off-site surveillance of the home or office.

"The simplicity, affordability and flexibility of this compact wireless Internet Camera make it a must for any consumer looking to monitor the home or office while they are away," said Maurice Famularo Marketing Director, D-Link Australia & New Zealand. "A cost effective wireless camera is a natural extension to our award-winning Internet Security Camera family and this camera with its extensive range of features is an affordable solution for any digital home user."

With the D-Link Wireless Internet Camera (DCS-900W), a user can access the camera from any location with a web browser to view real-time streaming video at 320 x 240 pixel resolution at up to 20 frames a second. The D-Link Internet camera includes a powerful built-in fully integrated web-server that contains its own IP address to act as an independent device. A free Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) utility built in the camera's web server allows the user to create an easy-to-remember personal web address (e.g. http://me.atmycamera.com.au) at which the camera's live image can be conveniently found on the Internet. Unlike similar cameras that require a paid DDNS subscription service, the DCS-900W includes everything needed to stream video outside the home or office network, for free.

The DCS-900W provides multiple video delivery options allowing video to be captured and sent to an email address or recorded to a hard drive while simultaneously broadcasting over the Internet. With an easy-to-use web-based user interface, the D-Link DCS-900W Internet Camera can be set up and configured in a matter of minutes to remotely monitor any site. The unit can be set to record a video feed with date and time stamp to create an archived record for later viewing. The D-Link Camera includes password protected management software that allows users to monitor up to four cameras at one time, providing a large amount of coverage for the home or office. Advanced video compression allows the recording of up to eight hours of video onto just 500MB of hard drive space.

The D-Link DCS-900W is IEEE 802.11b standard and compatible with both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networking technologies. Advanced wireless security features including SSID filtering and 64/128 bit WEP encryption ensure the security of the wireless transmissions.
