Video Camera 10/100 Ethernet

Adds Video to Server Room Monitoring

Each WeatherGoose can be configured to operate with the D-Link DCS 950 Securicam by entering the IP address of the camera.

The camera is powered by a small wall transformer and connects to a network as part of a network or sub-net.

Standard Ethernet cables are used, and the camera usually connects to a switch or a hub. For set-up, the camera can be directly connected to a PC by use of a crossover cable.

Features of the D-Link DCS 950 Securicam include:

• Clear color pictures
• Easy integration into the WeatherGoose family of devices
• Built-in motion detection and alarms
• Still or motion images
• Simple installation
• Built-in microphone

Motion Detection

The user can define three zones for motion detection. If motion is detected an e-mail is sent. This feature is useful in server room monitoring where there are no door alarms.

Both the WeatherGoose and WatchDog Console applications are pre-configured to use the D-Link 950 Camera.

Non-Client (JPEG) or Active-X Environments

Once the address is loaded into the configuration table, the camera is commanded through the camera’s API to add a JPEG still image to the WeatherGoose’s home page. This method of adding an image does not require the user’s Browser to load the Active-X plug-in which is disabled in many IT environments.

If the user wishes to enable the Active-X capability, the camera will produce moving images simply by double clicking on the WeatherGoose Web page.
