The D-Link DCS 2120 lets you remotely monitor a home or office in real-time using a mobile phone’s 3G video capabilities. Of course, if it can be monitored through a mobile phone, it can be using a computer as well.

In fact, the camera’s visuals are available from any Internet Streaming Media Alliance (ISMA) compatible device and offers support for RealPlayer and Quick Time applications. The camera supports resolutions of up to 640X480 at 30 frames per second.

You can manage and monitor up to 16 camere using D-Link’s IP surveillance camera management software and archive the video to a hard drive or network attached storage (NAS) devices. You can even control the DCS 2120 remotely from Web using the browser.

The camera is able to capture video in rooms with minimal lighting because its low sensitivity gives quality video feeds even when lighting condition aren’t optimum. The 4X digital zoom with motion alert function ensures that you won’t miss any details if anything unfortunate happens.

If you are working in an area covered by a 3G network, the 3G Phoebus MB6000 is a good bet for getting online. This cellular router lets multiple users wirelessly share Internet access from a 3G network via 802.11b/g Wi-Fi.

The 3G Phoebus works with all the major 3G networks, including EDGE and Evolution Data Optimized (EV-DO), and supports a variety of PC Cards from major telco in USA such as Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T/Cingular. In the test conducted by computershopper.com, the 3G Phoebus delivered throughput speeds of 11.9Mbps at 10 feet and 7.98Mbps at 210 feet. Those results are slow compared with the speeds of other 802.11g routers, but they should be sufficient for basic tasks.

One caveat: the design. In a departure from the standard boxy router, the 3G Phoebus comes in a sleek pyramid shape. Though aesthetically attractive, it’s not practical to pack for travel.
