The Hawking Technology HNC290G Wireless-G Network Camera gives peace of mind to any homeowner. Unlike a webcam that attaches to your laptop over USB, this network camera uses an 802.11b/g network and feeds a 640 x 480-pixel video signal (sans audio) back to your PC.

The Setup Wizard features DDNS and UPnP technology, which allow for automatic router port opening and custom domain assignment for remote viewing over the Web.

The 4.9 x 4.1 x 4.1-inch device is less bulky than pan-tilt-zoom cams we’ve tested. Video looked good, but not great; the feed was slightly washed out but still passable for an Internet camera.

The motion-sensing feature worked perfectly, automatically recording a video snippet and sending a still image via e-mail. While not exactly home-movie quality, the HNC290G is definitely good enough to let you see an intruder or a flooded basement.

Review By Hawkingtech

The HNC290G supports both the Wireless 802.11b/g and 10/100Mbps Wired Fast Ethernet standards, and can stream high-quality live video at up to 30 frames per second. Unique to the entry-level network camera segment is the HNC290G’s built-in motion detection feature, which adds an extra measure of security by allowing users to set up automatic recording and snapshot emailing when motion is detected. Included with the camera is a powerful management and control software application from which users can playback video, record directly to the hard drive, and trigger automatic recording via motion detection.

Review By Provantage

The Hawking Net-Vision HNC290G Wireless-G Network Camera is a high performance stand-alone camera that enablesremote monitoring, surveillance, or viewing of live video from both within your local area network (LAN) and from outside the network via the Internet. Unlike “web cameras”, which require an attached PC for operation, the HNC290G connects directly to the network and has its own IP address, thereby allowing users to access the video from anywhere on the network, as well as from anywhere in the world via the web. The HNC290G supports both the 802.11b/g wireless standard and the 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet standard, and can stream high-quality live video at up to 30 frames per second.
