Indoor surveillance is all well and good, but what about when it comes to keeping an electronic eye on the outdoor perimeter of one’s property?

This is a question that Foscam’s HD Outdoor Wireless IP Camera seeks to definitively and reassuringly answer. The 1.3 megapixel internet protocol (IP) camera is well equipped with 36 infrared LED’s, which provide a night vision visibility up to 30 metres. Additionally, the camera provides footage in the H.264 format and is also waterproof. This means it won’t stop when the rains start, no doubt reassuring, particularly as users head into the summer months.

Furthermore, the IP camera can also alert users via email when a motion detection alarm is triggered, while supporting two way audio along with the IEEE 802.11n wireless protocol.

However, the camera’s feature set isn’t limited to the device itself. It also works with a dedicated app on iOS, Android and BlackBerry smartphones, while video can alternatively be viewed on any internet browser, anywhere in the world. It has a RRP of R1 800 and is available from www.foscam.co.za.
