Sorry, this product is no longer available, please contact us for a replacement.


Overview:

The HD Covert Network Camera (DCS-1201) provides an excellent way to discreetly keep watch over an area without sacrificing quality or functionality. Place it anywhere you need to monitor; it’s diminutive size lets you place it in a far corner of the room or use in a discreet pinhole installation. With motion detection, external device connectivity, advanced event management and more, the HD Covert Network Camera gives you reliable surveillance in a tiny package.

High Definition Surveillance, Anywhere

The HD Covert Network Camera uses a two-piece design that allows you to place the camera away from its control box. The included 50 foot cable lets you install the camera in any corner of the room, even without a power outlet nearby. The camera unit itself is miniscule, and comes with three different mounting brackets for surface mount, angled mount, or discreet pinhole installation. Though small in size, the camera is big on quality and uses a 720p HD sensor to provide sharp, high-resolution snapshots and videos with rich detail. Get a closer look with ePTZ, which lets you zoom in and pan across your camera’s video so you can survey a large area easily.

High Speed Access to Multiple Video Streams

The DCS-1201 supports simultaneous streaming of H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG video to provide both high-quality and bandwidth-efficient compression formats. Additionally, the DCS-1201 supports multicast H.264 and MPEG-4 streaming, allowing users to view the camera feed by subscribing to a multicast IP address on the network. You can also save snapshots and video to an inserted microSD card up to 128 GB1 , ensuring that you can continue to record footage even if your network is disrupted or you can easily add a mydlink Camera Recorder (DNR-202L) to locally record up to 4 D-Link Wi-Fi Cameras for a scalable alternative for recording and storing video.

D-ViewCam for Management

The DCS-1201 is a self-sufficient surveillance solution, capable of recording snapshots and video to a microSD card without requiring a PC or network storage device. If you want to expand your surveillance options, D-ViewCam management software is also included, giving you the ability to manage up to 32 cameras with a robust set of features, including multi-camera views and automated e-mail alerts to keep you informed of suspicious or unusual activities.
