D-Link Expands Professional IP Surveillance Solutions
D-Link has announced the expansion of its professional surveillance offerings with four new high definition (HD) IP cameras. The D-Link®DCS-6113/6112 dome cameras feature full HD two-megapixel resolution and flexible mounting options, making them ideal for indoor retail locations.
The DCS-3710/3112 box cameras offer greater lens flexibility, high resolution and flexible connectivity, making them excellent megapixel cameras for businesses looking to upgrade their current surveillance solutions. All four cameras are available now through all D-Link distribution partners.
“The D-Link DCS-6113/6112 dome cameras offer excellent value, a small footprint and full HD resolution, perfect for customer-facing interior locations such as stores, hotels and hospitals,” said Vance Kozik, director of product marketing, IP Surveillance for D-Link. “The D-Link DCS-3710/3112 box cameras feature Sony Exmor image sensors, which offer sharp megapixel resolution while still maintaining low noise performance in low light scenes.”
As a leader in IP networking(according to Gartner Market Share: Enterprise Ethernet Switches Worldwide, 2010, March 2011 Research Report), D-Link is the only company to offer small- to medium-sized businesses a complete end-to-end IP surveillance solution, and the DCS-6113/6112 and DCS-3710/3112 cameras are the newest products in the company’s line of industry-leading camera technology. All four cameras include D-ViewCAM™ video management software (VMS), a comprehensive surveillance system designed to centrally manage multiple IP cameras. The cameras are also ONVIF-compliant, the leading industry standard for the interface of IP-based physical security products, making them interoperable with a wide range of third-party VMS solutions.
Facility and IT managers currently using analog CCTV surveillance solutions require ease-of-integration and scalability as they transition to IP technology. D-Link’s unique Professional Services program provides a wealth of high-value presale, installation and post-sale support services, including access to experts who are uniquely qualified to assess a customer’s application requirements and assist with simple and complex installations, including multi-location IP surveillance installations. Security integrators can leverage Professional Services for added profitability as they develop their own IP practice.
The DCS-6113 and DCS-6112 Full HD Fixed Dome Cameras feature two megapixel, full 1080p HD resolution and H.264 compression, enabling high-quality video footage to be recorded and stored via the network, Internet or the built-in micro SD card slot. Ideal for interior locations, both cameras are equipped with a 
three-axis gimbal for flexible observation area adjustment, and Power over Ethernet (PoE). The DCS-6113 and DCS-6112 both support multiple video streams, each with its own independent resolution, frame rate and compression (H.264, MPEG-4 or MJPEG). The cameras also have an electronic tamper detection system that can sense whenever the camera has been redirected, defocused, blocked or spray-painted, and respond promptly with a notification. The DCS-6113 also includes built-in IR LEDs and a mechanical IR-cut filter, allowing for video capture in both dark and light environments.
The DCS-3710 and DCS-3112 HD Day and Night Network Cameras are megapixel box cameras ideal for CCTV system integrators and IT professionals looking to upgrade their current surveillance solution, supporting analog out and video motion detection. Both cameras capture HD video at resolutions of up to 1280 x 720/1280 x 1024 with frame rates up to 30 fps, and allow for multiple independent video streams, including H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG video. Further, both cameras incorporate Sony Exmor CMOS sensors (DCS-3710: equipped with 1/3″ Megapixel WDR Progressive Scan CMOS sensor and a 2.9-8.2 mm DC auto iris lens; the DCS-3112 is equipped with a 1/4″ 1.3 Megapixel Progressive Scan CMOS sensor and a 3.5-8 mm DC auto iris lens) for
enhanced low light performance, as well as a mechanical IR-cut filter for day and night functionality. The DCS-3710 and DCS-3112 also allow for flexible connectivity with the inclusion of input and output ports, enabling connectivity to external devices such as IR sensors, switches and alarm relays. In addition, both cameras include SD card slots and an RS-485 interface, which provide connectivity to an optional pan/tilt enclosure, as well as a 12V interface offering power for an optional LED illuminator.
The DCS-3710 HD Day and Night WDR network camera is designed to capture clear video even under backlit conditions, making this the ideal camera for extreme high-contrast environments, such as lobbies, entryways and shipping docks.
The DCS-6112 ($472), DCS-6113 ($514), DCS-3710 ($787), and DCS-3112 ($577) (All prices CAD) are now available. All of D-Link’s IP surveillance cameras, network switches and IP storage products are sold through D-Link’s vast network of channel partners, including value-added resellers, solution providers and distributors.
