Using Internet Explorer 6.0, you can watch and listen to what the DCS-950G captures. For more recording flexibility, you can configure the camera to record to a network-attached storage (NAS), eliminating the need to set up a dedicated computer for storing recorded video.

With 0.5 lux light sensitivity, the DCS-950G is capable of capturing video in rooms with minimal lighting, making it ideal for use at night time. The DCS-950G also features a motion detector that sends e-mail alerts and triggers recording to hard drive once motion is detected. By adhering to the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) standards, computers running Windows XP/Me will recognize the DCS-950G and automatically add it to your network. The DCS-950G can then be seamlessly accessed and viewed from "My Network Places" just like any other device. A "Site Survey" tool allows users to easily find wireless networks within the range of the camera. And by signing up with one of the many free Dynamic DNS services available on the Internet, you can assign an easy-to-remember name and domain to the camera (e.g., www.mycamera.myddns.com). This allows you to remotely access your camera without having to remember the IP address, even if it has been changed by your Internet Service Provider.

Virtually everything you need to get started is included in this package. Simple installation procedures, along with the built-in Web-based interface, offer easy integration into your network environment. Powerful surveillance software is included to enhance the monitoring and management of the DCS-950G, allowing you to archive video straight to the hard drive, play back video, monitor up to four cameras on a single screen, and set up motion detection to trigger video/audio recording and send e-mail alerts. The DCS-950G is a cost-effective and versatile security solution for any home or business.
