Monitoring your home remotely or broadcasting live events over the Internet is now easier and more cost-effective than ever with D-Link Internet Cameras! Because these cameras connect directly into an Ethernet connection (as opposed to a PC), they're a great solution for monitoring rooms where it's not feasible to have computers in them, like living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, etc. Choose the wireless version (#6325) and you'll also have the benefit of wireless surveillance from up to 100 feet away from the wireless receiver base.
The included Windows-based software further enhances its security features by providing streaming video archiving straight to your hard drive. To remotely monitor what's happening in the room when you're away from home, all you have to do is open up any Java-enabled web browser like Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The cameras are perfect for anyone with static IP addresses or a local area network (LAN). If your cable modem or DSL service providers assign dynamic IP address, you can also remotely monitor your home by uploading images to a third-party Web hosting service, like Earthcam.com.

Tip for 2.4GHz Cordless Phone UsersWorried about interference between your 2.4GHz phone and a wireless network? While the two share the same frequency band, there is lots of space for the two system to work together without interfering with each other. For 802.11 series wireless networking products, most experts suggest using wireless channel 11. (All D-Link 802.11b Wireless devices default to channel 6). This frequency is often outside the frequency band of most 2.4GHz phones. Also, in the 802.11b (2.4GHz) standard there are 11 channels to choose from, all but three of those channels are overlapping channels. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only non-overlapping channels.
