D-Link Wireless IP camera DCS-950G review
Click here for more information on the DCS-950G
The D-Link DCS-950G is a full featured entry level IP
security camera with 802.11g wireless, VGA resolution, sound, motion detection,
email notification, NNTP, ability to record to SMB share and .5 lux low
light mode.
The camera must be initially set up over a Ethernet
connection with the included software. Once you assign a static ip address
you can use internet explorer to configure and monitor the camera. The
camera downloads an ActiveX control into the browser to view the video and
control the camera. There is a SMA connector on the detachable antenna so
you could use with a external high gain antenna. The camera is powered by
a 5DVC cube so you can use with a DWL-P200 or DWL-P50 power over Ethernet
adapter.

Image quality is very good video in recorded in MPEG4
format for high quality and small file size.

The camera will connect to any 802.11g or 802.11b access
point.

The main admin page has controls for nightshot low light
mode snapshot and manual recording.
Nightshot works in low light conditions a street or
floodlight will allow you to monitor the area at night.

Motion detection allows you to define trigger zones.

When motion is detected the camera can email you the video
clip via SMTP

The recording menu allows you to upload video directly to
a windows share smart recording works with motion detection.
