Press Release
Toshiba Network Camera Enables Homeowners to Monitor Video Of Their Property From Anywhere, Anytime
IRVINE, CA, January 18, 2006 -- According to the FBI, a burglary occurs every 12 seconds somewhere in the United States. Five percent of American households will experience a burglary in 2006, reports the Department of Justice.

While it is not possible to anticipate when or where a burglary will happen, the new Toshiba IK-WB21A network camera can help homeowners safeguard their property and provide much needed peace-of-mind.

With its built-in web server, the IK-WB21A delivers an all-in-one, professional-grade video surveillance solution that lets the homeowner access its video feed from any Internet-connected computer in the world. By activating this video surveillance camera's pan, tilt, and 22X optical zoom features, they'll be able to capture a clear, high-resolution (1280 x 940) glimpse into any activity at their residence.

Compact, lightweight, and easy to install, the IK-WB21A connects to a 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX (RJ-45) Ethernet network. JPEG Video is streamed at up to 30 frames per second on a home network or remotely to any PC or notebook using a standard web browser such as Microsoft® Explorer®. The user can even record at the camera by inserting an SD memory card into the built-in slot.

The camera fits into any home setting. It can be mounted on either a ceiling or desktop surface. Besides burglary, the camera also warns homeowners of other emergencies, such as a fire, flooding caused by a broken pipe, as well as entry and exit times of family members.

Multiple viewers are able to simultaneously access the same IK-WB21A on a network without any degradation in frame rate.

The Toshiba IK-WB21A camera is immediately available with an MSRP of $950. For more information and the name of a local Toshiba Surveillance & IP Video Products distributor, call 1-877-696-3822. Or visit www.cctv.toshiba.com.
