Linksys Debuts New Wi-Fi Enable Video Camera

Linksys, a division of Cisco Systems, introduced a new Wireless-B Internet Video Camera that contains its own IP address. The camera uses MPEG-4 video compression to produce live, high-quality video with 320x240 resolution. Advanced features include sending email notifications when motion is detected, and recording images with date and time stamps. The estimated street price is $229.


Linksys is offering an optional Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) Service to make its wireless home products easier and friendlier to access for users whose ISP assign them dynamic IP addresses. The DDNS service keeps track of the IP address of the camera, even when it changes, with an easy to remember web address the customer selects so the camera's video stream can be found quickly using any Web browser worldwide. The price of the SoloLink service starts at $19.99 for a 1-year subscription.
