Every year, the International Forum Design organization receives an average of 2,000 entries from countries all over the world. The entries are then hand-selected by the iF Design Jury, picking a number of entries that fit the standards of the organization. This year, the DCS-3415 was selected among a pool of 2,808 entries submitted by 1025 contestants from 39 countries.
"We are very pleased to have received such a prestigious award from the International Design Forum," says Harrison Albert, Regional Sales Director at D-Link Middle East. "This year's competition was extremely competitive, and we will continue to use this momentum to create even better products", he adds.
The DCS-3415 is a network camera that offers recording abilities ideal for surveillance and security. It offers a progressive scan sensor and Sony 18x optical zoom lens for capturing vivid images in MPEG-4 format. The built-in auto-iris feature and removable IR-cut filter enable this network camera to record in both day and night, making it suitable for 24-hour surveillance. The RS-485 port and DC12V allow the DCS-3415 to cooperate with external devices such as an IR illuminator or scanner, and the PoE ability allows for a single cable to connect and power up the device.
The DCS-3415 offers the following product features:
- Sony VGA 18x Zoom Progressive Scan CCD Module
- IR Cut Removable(ICR) Filter for Day/Night Feature
- 4.1-73.8mm Zoom Lens, F1.4 to F3.0
- Built-in 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) for Versatile Placement

- Compact Flash Card Slot for Local Storage
The DCS-3415, along with the other selected iF Design Award-winners, can be found on display at the iF Design Exhibition, which opens from March 3 to August, 2009. In addition, the network camera is to be included in the iF Online Exhibition, which can be located on the organization's website.
