At Comptuex 2009, the WHS Team reported they had an Add-In which allowed management of selected D-Link IP cameras.

Here's their blog on TechNet:

We were really pleased to unveil the D-Link ViewCam add-in for Windows Home Server, which allows control of a wide range of D-Link’s IP cameras from the Windows Home Server Console.  Also notable, each scenario was demonstrated using a netbook as the interface and playback device for Windows Home Server.

Since then, there has been nothing about this Add-In. I called D-Link technical and customer support and they were clueless, althogh they advertise it on their web page for several cameras.

Text of the D-Link page here:

Add D-Link Network Cameras to your Windows Home Server. A Windows Home Server lets you easily access your files, photos, videos and music from any PC or TV in your home, or even while away. The complete line of D-Link Network Cameras easily plug into your digital ecosystem.

I'd appreciate any info on the development of this Add-In and if / when / where it might be available. I'm told by the Windows Home Server Team that the Add-In was a beta presented by D-Link.

It is still in development and we do not have a release date as of yet.

Thanks for the timely response.

If you need a beta tester, I'd be happy to volunteer a fully built-out network.
