INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

             Do you happen to own a company and want to keep an eye on your employees? Perhaps you want to improve your home security? Based on these two questions certain companies have made it their business to provide surveillance solutions that are not only very easy to install but also come with low price tags. Some companies choose the wireless approach which can be the easiest one considering you skip on cables and such but usually their image quality is poor. Other companies choose to build IP surveillance webcams which as the name suggests need an active network to work.

           The very first product we will be reviewing by AirLive is the POE-200CAM product. The POE-200CAM is a dome IP camera which intends to help you keep a close eye on any place with a network connection from the comfort of your own computer chair. Now if someone had asked me a couple of years ago i would have answered that these solutions are mostly targeted to companies and bosses who want to keep an eye on their employees for one reason or another. However due to the recent spike in crime rates i think that more and more people will also want to add one of these into their own homes.
