D-Link Announces the DHA-390 Surveillance Cam with Powerline Networking
Looking for a home surveillance system that won't take a degree from Harvard to hook up? Well you might want to check out the Internet Surveillance Starter Kit (DHA-390) from D-Link which allows you to monitor your home from a remote web browser. According to ZDNet:
D-Link is shipping the first in the line of its D-Life products, a series that is designed to enable users to easily manage networking devices via its D-Life Web site. First up is a surveillance camera kit that allows remote viewing of live streaming video from a remote Web browser. Starting at $399.95, the Internet Surveillance Starter Kit (DHA-390) is pricier than most entry-level IP Web cams, but D-Link bundles two Powerline networking adapters with the camera.
What makes the DHA-390 easy to install? According to the article:
I've tested only Wi-Fi IP cams, however. The D-Life camera is a different animal. Using Powerline adapters, it plugs into existing power outlets in the home for connecting to the home network router and then out to the Internet. D-Link says consumers can access the camera via the D-Life Web site for remote viewing and management of their account (adding new users to the camera, for instance).
For a quality home surveillance setup, the DHA-390 starts at a decent price-point and might be worth checking out.
