NETGEAR INTRODUCES WIRE-FREE NIGHT VISION CAMERA FOR VUEZONE HOME MONITORING SYSTEM

LAS VEGAS — January 7, 2013 — NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR) ( www.netgear.com ), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, announced today at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES®) the expansion of the NETGEAR VueZone® Home Monitoring product line . The two-part NETGEAR VueZone Add-On Night Vision Camera (VZCN2060) includes the only wire-free night vision camera that lets you see in the dark. Use your connected device – a laptop, smartphone, PC, Apple® Mac® or tablet – to easily keep an eye on children, elderly relatives, pets, property, vacation homes or businesses, from anywhere at any time. VueZone Add-On Night Vision Camera is an honoree in the Innovations Design and Engineering Awards program that recognizes the industry’s hottest products at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES®) taking place this week in Las Vegas.

The NETGEAR VueZone Night Vision Camera is a two-part system: a powerful AC-powered infrared lamp along with the only wire-free infrared camera in the market. The inclusion of a separate infrared lamp with the NETGEAR VueZone Night Vision Camera provides multiple options for illuminating scenes in low light and darkness, while the camera's wire-free feature means that you can easily place the camera anywhere within range of the base station without the hassle of unsightly power cords. You can even place the lamp and the camera in different locations as long as both are pointing at the same subject. The camera is suitable for both daytime and nighttime use and can be set to automatically detect motion, record an event and send an alert. You can play back your recorded videos from anywhere on Apple iOS or Google Android™ smartphones and tablets, or on PCs or Mac computers.

“As consumers become more connected in all aspects of their lives, they are recognizing the numerous advantages of home monitoring devices,” said Erich Volkert, senior director of VueZone product management at NETGEAR. “Our customers asked to see in the dark and we responded by adding a night vision camera that is easy to install and use. The VueZone Night Vision Camera is the first of many new exciting, innovative and helpful products that NETGEAR will deliver to help you monitor the people and things you care about most.”
