[New security solution from SMC Networks provides a real-time view anywhere the user can access the Internet.]

Irvine, CA -- SMC Networks Inc. today announced a new wireless IP security camera that can turn a wireless network into a wireless security system that users access via the Web. Available in May at an MSRP of $249.99, the new SMC EZ Connect(TM)g Wireless IP Camera (SMCWIPCAM-G) records images and sound to help small business owners and homeowners keep tabs while away.

A great security solution for the office or the home, the SMCWIPCAM-G provides a current view into a facility from anywhere the user can access the Internet. Easy to set up and use, the camera comes complete with an installation Wizard and an easy-to-use Web interface. Also included is a powerful software application, IPView Pro, which allows secure administrator access to as many as 16 cameras for monitoring and for video and snapshot access from any remote location via intranet or Internet. And, the SMCWIPCAM-G supports UPnP, so its images can be streamed to any multimedia device, including a television or a projector. And, because the camera has the capability to upload captured images onto any kind of FTP or WWW server automatically, images can also be viewed as media streams from a file server.

Where security is a concern, flexibility is key. With wireless coverage reaching up to 300m indoors, placement is flexible as well -- it can even be installed outdoors in a weather-proof housing. The SMCWIPCAM-G has built-in motion-detection features, so that the user can set up three different surveillance areas on the viewable screen and the camera will respond to movement, capturing changes in any of those areas. Pan/Tilt features with operational angles of 90 and 270 degrees allow for wide recording areas, and users can move and focus the camera remotely via its Web interface. Captured images can be viewed in real time online, or e-mailed to a user.

The new SMC Wireless IP Camera includes a 54Mbps Wireless Client, so it can be connected to any IEEE Wireless Network, and supports security with WEP, WPA and the most advanced WPA2. As an alternative to wireless connection, the camera can also be connected to the network using its RJ45 Fast Ethernet port. Platform-independent, it can be used with any operating system -- all that's needed is a Web browser with Active-X enabled.

SMC's new EZ Connect g Wireless IP Camera, the SMCWIPCAM-G, will be available in May 2006, at an MSRP of $249.99.
