Maybe printers, game consoles and media players need connectivity in a medium size house or an apartment. Maybe you need fast and reliable wireless coverage that reaches every corner of a small office building. There are different types of wireless routers suited to a variety of different networking environments.
There are a variety of wireless routers from D-Link that may meet your wireless networking needs. A Cloud Gigabit router like the DIR-636L can give you a fast and stable network for activities like e-mail, VOIP calls, online gaming and viewing HD video. It also allows you to remotely monitor and manage your wireless network from any internet connection in the world. You can view which devices are connecting to your wireless network and you can block or allow certain connections. You can also stream music, video and other media to your smartphone with the free Shareport Mobile app and the USB 2.0 port that is built into the router.
Maybe you need a router that is more suited for use in a business networking environment. The DSR-250N from D-Link is a Unified Services Router capable of providing high data transmission speeds and complete wireless coverage to every corner of a workplace. It has VPN capability as well to give mobile workers a secure tunnel into the network so they can be productive away from the office. The DSR-250N also includes Green technology to cut costs by saving energy. These are just two of the powerful wireless routers available from D-Link that you can use to put together the perfect network for your home or business.
Not all wireless routers are the same. Choosing the right wireless router to put together the best possible network depends on what your specific needs are. Whether it is a simple home network or a busier small business network you are putting together, D-Link probably has the wireless router that is perfectly suited to your needs.
LAN Switching
Business networks don't do much good if they don't run efficiently. There is so much that goes on on the modern business Local Area Network (LAN). There are multiple computers connected sending and receiving e-mail, there are printers receiving requests for print jobs, there are voice and video conferences taking place over Voice over IP (VOIP). The information traveling to different devices needs to get to the right place and it needs to get there in the most efficient way possible. That is where switching comes in.
Network switches connect all the devices on the network and make sure that data goes to the device it was intended for. A small office might have just one switch while a large business with a large campus might have multiple switches. If what goes on on a network is important at all, that network needs a switch or switches to manage the traffic.
D-Link offers a variety of network switches to the meet the needs of many types of business users. Whether you have a small office with a few computers or if you have a large enterprise with many computers and printers and servers and IP phones and cameras, D-Link has a network switch for you. D-Link offers unmanaged switches for smaller networks. These switches work right out of the box and allow a network to run itself. They support Quality of Service (QoS) to give priority to certain types of traffic on the network like VOIP for activities like voice and video conferencing. For medium size and large size businesses with larger networks, D-Link offers Smart Switches and Managed Switches.
The Smart Series of network switches have advanced security features and advanced configuration options to meet the unique needs of your business. They are very similar to unmanaged switches but without the complexity or cost. Some of the switches in D-Link's Smart Series line support the Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard which eliminates the need for external power supplies so that current cables can be used and cable clutter can be reduced. Unmanaged switches from D-Link are highly customisable and can be used to set up a robust network backbone for a large business. They have advanced security features like MAC and IP address lists. They allow for remote monitoring of network traffic by administrators and they support the Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard. They also give the network administrator the ability to allocate enough bandwidth to mission critical functions.
Network Storage Servers
The ability to store and access video footage taken by IP surveillance cameras is an important aspect of deploying them. Some IP cameras have storage that is built right into the cameras themselves. They might have a MicroSD card slot and can store the recorded footage on a MicroSD card. Footage from IP cameras can also be stored on Network Attached Storage devices (NAS), Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and Storage Area Networks (SAN) which can make footage accessible on a network. There are a variety of ways of storing IP surveillance camera footage for both home and business users. Choosing the right solution for storage is all about meeting the specific needs of the individual user or business.
There are a number of storage solutions available for IP camera footage from Y-cam and D-Link. The Y-cam Cube has a MicroSD slot built into it. It can hold up to 64 GB of recorded footage. This can be a good solution for a home user who might have the camera set to only record if motion is detected. If storage on the camera itself is not enough then the DNS-325 Network Storage Enclosure from D-Link might be an option. It has 2 bays for 1TB or 2TB hard disk drives and makes the footage that might come from multiple IP cameras available across a network.
The DSN-3200-10 SAN array from D-Link has 15 bays that can be used for storing large amounts of footage recorded by multiple IP cameras. The DNR-326 Network Video Recorder is another option for storage of IP camera footage. It can be used to store footage from up to 9 local or remote IP cameras. The user can decide how long recorded footage is kept on the hard disk before being overwritten. The DNR-326 can also be configured to overwrite the oldest footage automatically when hard disk space runs out. These are just a few of the solutions for storing footage recorded by IP cameras that are available from Y-cam or D-Link.
The ability to store and easily access footage captured by IP cameras is something that cannot be neglected. If footage needs to be reviewed or kept for any period of time then reliable storage is an absolute necessity. You need to have enough storage to suit your needs. You might have just one camera and storage on an SD card in the camera might do just fine. You might have multiple cameras providing surveillance over a fairly large business campus and may need network storage via a Network Video Recorder, Storage Area Network or Network Attached Storage device. Whatever your storage needs might be, you can likely find what you need from Y-cam or D-Link.
