D-Link today marks a new era in Wi-Fi security cameras with the world’s first Wireless AC camera that offers a real-time 180° view of a room, without any delay. The camera offers the widest view of any camera on the market today.

The Wide Eye HD 180˚ Panoramic Camera (DCS-960L) eliminates the need for two or more cameras to see everything in a room – you see more with less, instantly. Whilst most fixed cameras offer a 130° view, the 180° view means you are not delayed by the camera panning. Because you can place it anywhere in the room, not limited to corners, intruders are less likely to see the camera. By making no panning or tilting noise, any intruder is less likely to hear it too.

“Cameras with this advanced level of technology are normally reserved only for businesses,” commented Kevin Wen, President, D-Link Europe Ltd. “But we know that home security is high on people’s agendas. The Wide Eye HD 180˚ Panoramic Camera (DCS-960L) is a ground-breaking new way to achieve the ultimate surveillance of a room from a single device. There is no longer any cause to worry about missing any details.”

The camera is an ideal start to a DIY security set-up for homes and businesses. This is not only due to the HD video quality, but also the integrated microphone, automatic day and night viewing and ability to configure the camera to monitor for motion within a certain area – such as around entranceways or windows – or sound above a set volume, which would trigger an alert upon detection.

Joining a growing range of mydlink-enabled cameras, the Wide Eye HD 180˚ Panoramic Camera can be easily and securely accessed, remotely viewed and managed via a smartphone, tablet or PC. Accessed through the free mydlink app or the mydlink online portal, users do not incur ongoing subscription charges or require special software.

For ease of use, the included 16GB microSD card means users can record video locally onto the camera, without incurring monthly fees. It can be set to start recording either by event trigger, schedule or continuous record.
