At the virtually held CES 2021 Show, D-Link this week introduced its latest mydlink smart home solutions line. New product offerings include the company's Whole-Home Smart Wi-Fi Water Sensor Kit (DCH-S1621KT), a CES Innovation Honoree, that intelligently detects and notifies users of potential indoor water leaks. Also unveiled was the company's 2K QHD Pan & Zoom Outdoor Home Wi-Fi Camera (DCS-8635LH).
Per the manufacturer, aimed at homeowners, residents, and landlords who understand the toll that heavy rain or equipment water damage can create, the new mydlink Whole-Home Smart Wi-Fi Water Sensor Kit (DCH-S1621KT) features an independent Hub (DCH-S162) and Sensor (DCH-S163) that notifies users of water existence helping to prevent property damage and maintain occupants' safety. Easy installation and syncing capabilities allow users to continually add sensors to increase coverage in multi-level housing or large homes.
Additional product specifications include: a built-in 100db siren and strobe LED; the mydlink mobile App; a lower power design for high-reliability water detection in multiple locations; and a convenient three-meter cable.
For its part, the newly introduced mydlink 2K QHD Pan & Zoom Outdoor Home Wi-Fi Camera (DCS-8635LH) features extreme 2K QHD picture clarity that works with precise AI-enabled monitoring. This camera is designed to provide users with whole-home protection without sacrificing privacy. A motorized pan & tilt function delivers 360-degree coverage throughout the day and into the evening from IR night vision capability up to 16 feet. Auto motion tracking, person detection, and facial recognition features give homeowners full views of the individuals and activities around a property.
Additional key features include: glass break detection; a speaker siren; IP65 weather rating; and support for the manufacturer's mydlink Cloud, MicroSD card, and ONVIF recording and streaming.
At CES 2021, D-Link also revealed an updated version of its flagship Full HD Wi-Fi Camera Full (DCS-8300LHV2). Delivering high-quality audio and video capture to keep loved ones and guests safe, the company notes this latest camera model sports an enhanced chassis complemented with a durable 360-degree pivoting ball joint for flexible angled alignment.
Also at the show, it was announced that the mydlink products now support water and IP camera person detection, with Google Home speakers automatically announcing the event without a user's prompt. For example, if the DCH-S1621KT detects water by a washing machine, a connected Google Home speaker will verbally notify users, "Laundry Sensor detects a water leak."
"Even in today's environment, homes are becoming smarter and more connected than ever with many individuals desiring peace of mind," observed Rayan Fakhro, product line manager, consumer solutions, D-Link Systems. "Whether it's catching porch pirates or a leaky water heater, mydlink solutions continue to offer better ways to monitor your smart home. We're excited to be recognized for that with the [CES] 2021 Innovation Honoree Award given to our new water sensor kit."
