home office, garden or garage – the dLAN LiveCam can be used flexibly anywhere
a power outlet is available.

Aachen, Germany, October 29, 2012 – It’s your life. Experience it live. Whether for
monitoring your own property, as a camera for interior spaces, or as a video extension to
a baby monitor – the dLAN LiveCam can be used in many applications. The Powerline
camera can be set up in no time because it merely has to be connected to a power
outlet.
Global reception of the video stream via app for iOS and Android
The LiveCam's video stream can be received across the globe on smartphones or tablets
– regardless of whether at the workplace, on holiday or while visiting neighbours. The
dLAN Cockpit app provides a particularly simple display on smartphones. For iOS and
Android tablets, there is also a high-resolution variant of the free app. Both versions
enable, alongside playback of the video stream, saving screenshots and fine-tuning
image quality.
Simple setup without a computer
The dLAN LiveCam can be set up and ready for operation 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, dLAN Cockpit, from the iTunes Store and/or the
Android Market. Up to seven dLAN LiveCams can be used in a single household for
comprehensive home monitoring.
dLAN LiveCam in detail
The white, particularly compact housing measuring just 107 x 85 x 85 millimetres allows
unobtrusive positioning in the home. In addition to conventional setup, installation on a
wall or ceiling is possible. The power cable is responsible for the power supply as well as
video transmission and allows sufficient leeway for selecting the installation location
thanks to its length of 2.5 meters.
The camera head features pan and tilt functions and enables an individual setting of the
recording area. The camera objective provides video with a resolution of up to 640 x 480
pixels and up to 20 frames per second. Twelve powerful infrared LEDs provide very good
image quality, even in unfavourable lighting conditions and darkness.
dLAN Powerline for secure video transmission throughout a building
With their proven Powerline technology, devolo guarantees video transmission
throughout the home that is as secure as it is simple. Thus, the dLAN LiveCam can be
connected to any power outlet throughout a home without second thought – regardless of
whether in the basement, the living room or on the roof. A broadband Internet connection
is required to stream the camera's videos.
The dLAN LiveCam can also be 'shared' by specifying an individualised password. This
makes it possible, for example, to grant friends temporary access to your LiveCams so
they can house-sit from afar. Moreover, multiple smartphones and tablets can access
one camera simultaneously, so that, for example, the whole family can use the home
video network.
"dLAN Powerline is the ideal backbone for home networking. It reliably connects all
internet-capable devices in a home. devolo is known for this simple home networking.
With the dLAN LiveCam we are now establishing an initial smart home product in the
dLAN system," remarks Heiko Harbers, CEO of devolo AG. "To date we have enabled
Internet-capable devices to be networked using Powerline products – now we are
showing what innovative solutions are possible with integrated Powerline technology.
With that in mind, the LiveCam is the first step into the smart home segment."
The devolo dLAN LiveCam is available in stores starting in November 2012. They are
offered individually for 99.90 euros and as part of a starter kit with an additional dLAN
adapter for 129.90 euros. devolo grants a three-year warranty.
