The Simple IP Camera

 

It looks like being another glorious February day here today and the picture shows the view from a new camera on the drive.


The picture is displayed in the Daisy Presentation Browser, which is a simple program, that can be used to print and display web pages in a clean format without the baggage of Internet Explorer. For example, if you want to print a web page without the top and bottom headers to frame for your office wall, then this is the program.

The picture below shows the camera and the aerial that links the office network to the house.


This camera and the aerial were purchased from Solwise.

The camera uses a Sony camera tube, is IP65-compliant and is installed by just plugging one cable into the network and the other into a 13-amp socket. When it is first installed it sets itself up on your network with a default IP-address of 192.168.0.20. You just log in to this from your browser and adjust the settings of the camera accordingly.

It takes you longer to screw them to the wall, than to get them to work properly.

If you want to setup a camera at a remote location, all you need is to pair the camera with a wireless AP/bridge and arrange a suitable aerial that links to your main network. It is very easy to setup a range of about fifty to a hundred metres.
