    Intellinet, perhaps a company you may not have heard, is actually on the cutting edge of many network products used in business today.  One of their leading categories of products includes network cameras, which provide businesses unparalleled efficiencies and security.

    Firstly, it’s equipped with a 1.3 Megapixel image sensor that generates crystal-clear images in resolutions of up to 1280 x 1024 pixels, providing stunning detail.  It also uses progressive-scan technology, which eliminates jagged lines caused by regular interlacing image sensors.  In laymen’s terms, it’s that flickering effect on moving objects.  No more with the NFC31-WG.  Additionally, the popular 720p wide-screen 16:9 video mode is also supported.

    The NFC31-WG Network Camera provides better image quality while consuming less network bandwidth thanks to the integrated H.264 video compression. It also supports MPEG4 and Motion-JPEG video formats, providing killer image quality that supports existing applications. Finally, 3GPP mobile phone streaming is provided for easy on-the-road connectivity with your 3GPP-enabled mobile phone.

    With the NFC31-WG, you can go wired or wireless.  The camera allows you to hook up to WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption for wireless security, and you can connect a higher-gain antenna to extend the wireless transmission range.  It also supports SSL Encryption.

    Setup is a breeze.  In fact, anyone can do it with the provided installation wizard. Utilize the free DYNDNS service to connect to your camera, even if you do not have a static IP address assigned by your ISP.  This feature lets you easily set up a URL that can be used.

    Attaching a microphone and loudspeakers to the NFC31-WG Network Camera will allow you to listen and talk using the two-way audio support. On top of that, the camera is equipped with an internal microphone. This is cool for most security and surveillance applications. Add to that the integrated audio detection and you’ve got video surveillance that rivals the Pentagon.

    If you want some serious video network megapixal camera hardware, look no further than Intellinet’s NFC31-WG.  It packs a punch in function, ease of installation, video image superiority, and a wireless feature that loses no integrity.

    The Intellinet NCG31-WG runs a little over $400 and comes with a 3-year warranty.  You can buy it at Bay State Office Solutions, Citrus Micro and CyberGuys.com.  Also check out Intellinet Network Solutions for a laundry list of features and specs.
