Cisco WVC200 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera Product Details

Cisco WVC200 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera with Audio
The Cisco Wireless-G Pan/Tilt/Zoom Video Camera sends live video through the Internet to a web browser anywhere in the world! The advanced MPEG-4 video compression produces a high-quality, high-framerate, up to 640x480 video stream. MPEG-4 encoding facilitates good video quality in varying bandwidth environments. WVC200 also supports MJPEG compression for video, providing good video quality at high bandwidth rates.

The comprehensive video features include an IR filter cut which allow you to see the images in low or no light environments when an IR lamp is used. Snapshots (in JPEG format) of the image can be taken and saved.Snapshots can also be scheduled and sent to an FTP server.

If you want the video to be visible from a remote location or from the Internet, you can open an appropriate port on the Router, and then create password protected accounts to manage access to the camera, or leave it wide open for the world to see. Support for Dynamic DNS lets you access your camera using an easy-to-remember “name”, even while using a dynamic IP address. The Pan/Tilt and digital zoom function allows you to remotely control the camera movement and focus, giving you maximum flexibility remotely. Up to 10 simultaneous users can have access to the camera at any point in time. Software is included for multiple camera monitoring and recording to your hard drive with advanced search by time and date. Recording can be set up to record by motion trigger, manual or schedule recording and playback on Windows Media Player without the need for a proprietary player.

You can also turn on Security Mode, which tells the camera to send a message with a short video attached to up to three email addresses whenever it detects motion in its field of view. You can then log onto the live video stream if the situation warrants. Wireless security features include WEP and WPA.

Great camera I had mine for 2 years now with no problems, I use it on a daily basis....I don't agree with RonSTL, the instructions are very straight forward (just have to follow them) and the Audio Sync issue depends on your connection to the internet...

Just picked up two of these yesterday. They were very easy to setup, although you do have to hardwire it to your router to let it get assigned an IP address, then you just change it to a fixed IP. Once it has an address you can login from your browser ( IE only) to configure the wireless. Works best with WEP encryption. So far so good on the remote monitoring through the dyndns service. Great product overall.

Had read some negative reviews about this camera. I thought I would give it a shot anyway. Should of listened to the reviews. Got it on the 11th of April, Worked with Linksys to try and correct some problems on the 12th. They informed me the camera was bad. Boxed it back up on the 13th for return. I strongly suggest not purchasing this product.

I was skeptical about this after reading mixed reviews acroos the net. Put 1 into a customer's location and so far have been really impressed. It is a smaller office, so its perfect. I have installed other IP cams ranging from $250 up to 1200. With the higher end IP's, you have to buy recording software. Linksys includes it! Big bonus! That stuff is not cheap! So I was going to put in a Axis IP PTZ cam for another wider, longer area at there shop, but instead I just bought two more of the PTZ Linksys. The savings on the software alone will pay for itself! 1 Axis would cover the area fine, but figure in the software and your at 1000+. I can buy two of these for 500 and cover the same area! Think about it.... :) As for the setup, yes...complex. But, Linksys support is A+. Very good. And as always, Tiger A+.
