Powerline networking specialist devolo is presenting its first dLAN Powerline-based camera, the dLAN LiveCam. The camera can be used in many ways; keep an eye on the kids in the garden or in other rooms in the house, monitor your garage, car and garden sheds or simply use it to monitor your home when you’re away for that extra peace of mind.
Global reception of the video stream via app for iOS and Android
The LiveCam's video stream can be received globally on smartphones or tablets – regardless of whether you are at work, on holiday or visiting friends. The dLAN Cockpit application provides a simple display on smartphones, while iOS and Android tablets users can receive a high-resolution version of the free app. Both versions feature playback of the video stream, saving screenshots and finely-tuned images at the touch of a button.
Simple setup without a computer
The dLAN LiveCam can be set up and ready to use within a few minutes. After selecting the setup location and connecting the LiveCam to the mains supply, you only need to download the free devolo app from the iTunes Store and/or the Android Market. Up to seven dLAN LiveCams can be used in a single household for comprehensive monitoring.

The 2.5 metre-long power cable is responsible for video transmission and allows sufficient leeway for selecting the installation location.
The camera head features pan and tilt functions, and enables personalised settings for any individual camera. The camera captures up to 20 frames per second with a resolution of up to 640 x 480 pixels. Twelve powerful infrared LEDs provide clear image quality, even in poor lighting conditions and darkness.

The dLAN LiveCam can be connected to any power outlet throughout the home, regardless of whether it is in the basement, the living room or on the roof. A broadband Internet connection is required to stream the camera's videos.
