D-Link, the end-to-end computer networking solutions provider for consumers and businesses, today began shipping a network camera that allows users to remotely monitor live streaming video through the company's new www.mydlink.com portal.

The new D-Link Network Camera (DCS-1100) is 'mydlink-enabled', allowing it to be easily viewed and managed by the mydlink^TM portal, providing customers with an easier way to experience a connected, digital lifestyle. A wireless 802.11n version, the DCS-1130, is expected to ship at end of this month.

Offering plug and play connectivity, the new D-Link network cameras feature easy installation and setup, mobile 3G and Web monitoring, 16x digital zoom, motion detection, integrated microphone and multiple profiles. The DCS-1100 connects to the home or small business network via a standard network cable, while the DCS-1130 connects using 802.11n Wi-Fi with WPS support.

With 3GPP mobile surveillance, users can view a live feed from the cameras using a 3G-enabled cell phone, PDA or any compatible RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) device. Users are offered a flexible and convenient way to remotely monitor their homes or offices in real time from anywhere within a customer's mobile network by simply using a common 3GPP-compatible player on the mobile device.

"Our new network cameras offer a user experience unmatched in the industry. By being 'mydlink-enabled' customers can quickly view and manage their cameras from Internet Explorer with Internet connectivity*," said AJ Wang, chief technology officer, D-Link. "Both cameras can still be configured through the traditional web graphical user interface (GUI) as with other D-Link network cameras for many of the advanced features."

An industry first, mydlink-enabled products let users with high-speed Internet, a home network and a PC quickly and easily install and monitor compatible home networking devices. The groundbreaking mydlink portal takes the work out of activation and management of devices by offering the following user experience:
