The D-Link DCS-5300W securicam is a versatile IP-based camera with motorised tilt and pan to cover almost an entire room. To monitor a remote location, you need a high-speed Internet connection and a PC. If your office already has an ADSL connection with a cable modem and ADSL router in place, you can directly connect the camera to the modem, bypassing the PC. Once the camera is plugged to the system, you type in the IP address as mentioned in the manual, or retrieve it through the IP installer utility to access the inbuilt Web server. This launches the camera user interface. You can control the movement of the camera from the interface or through the provided IR remote. There is a motion detection and trigger recording (both audio and video) facility that helps you view, at your leisure, activity in the area under surveillance.
