Crime Solving Device

I purchased this camera after a string of home invasions on our street. I placed it near our back door and configured it to email images when it detected motion. After a week or so I awoke to several high quality images of an uninvited person at our back door at 3:30am. The police were impressed with the images. They used identifying features such as tattoos and facial images to identify and arrest the person.I have been very impressed with the camera and have recommended it to several others.

Great Cameras But Bad Install Instructions.

When I got this camera, I could not get it to work using the software provided my D-Link. The camera would not configure using the wizard for Mac and also the D-Link app for the iPhone. I decided I had a bad camera and so Amazon sent me another one with the intent of me sending this one back to them. So, when I got the replacement, I had the same issues with the install. I was just about to give up but then decided to use the WPS button on the router and the camera. The install instructions are a little vague and I was under the assumption that you needed another piece of hardware called the registered Cloud Router to do this. But, I winged it and voila, camera hooked up and I was able to ip address into it with the web browser to finish the configuration process. As I still had the first camera, I followed the same steps and got it up and running. After both cameras were hooked up to my router, I tried to use the D-Link software and it still could not find either camera. But, I did find a couple of third party apps, IP Camera Viewer 2 for the Mac, and OWLR in the iTunes store for the iPhone that allows me to see the cameras. At that point, it was just a matter of signing into each camera using my browser, setting up FTP, and then send images from both cameras to my Weather Underground page (KCAMARKL9). You can go to it, click on the webcam box under the map and then click on my image. There are two cameras there and what you see is probably taken a minute or so ago from cameras. Enjoy!! BTW, I would recommend these cameras even though I have them indoors looking out. They’re cheap enough and actually have a pretty good picture. Just throw away the crappy install instructions and supporting software and go with a third party app. As an aside, I decided to keep both cameras.

FINALLY…I GOT THE RIGHT ONE…(-:

For months, after two attempts and returning orders from other wireless survellance camera manufacturer, I finally ordered the RIGHT one!… I depend so much in the volume of honest reviews and it pays off… The instruction manual that comes with it exactly described the procedure for setting up this camera… And yes, it is wireless and can be accessed in iphone, ipad, android, desktop computer and laptop… I did not tried in the KindleFire yet but the capabilities outweighs the availability. Its not HD but the video capture is acceptable enough to its purpose… I hope that the power cord that comes with it is longer. I strongly recommend this to anyone…

Good camera, recently improved manufacturing runs - but some reservations.

2013, 2014 versions of this camera had some flaws. For one the indicator light is on the front, and the base is very small and prone to tip over. 2015 production runs moved the indicator light to the back, and ship with a more stable base.On the downside, 2015 versions have myDLINK enabled on them with no way to disable it. I consider myDLINK a security flaw. I do not want my internal cameras DIALING HOME on their own to a company or service I do not use. In this case, these cameras dial out to specific IP addresses related to Dlink, and the collection of Dlink logs/data on your cameras. These should be blocked on your firewall, and if you do not have a firewall capable of blocking it then I am afraid there is nothing you can do to stop this. That’s a downside of them.Otherwise, these are capable, good cameras. I just recommend not using the Dlink software, and choose Blue Iris instead, which is vastly superior. Also set the quality to 648x480, rather than the default 320x200 which is atrocious. I’ve had a couple of these die over the years, so reliability isn’t astounding, but for the price they are effective, and reasonable. I have not had any of the 2015 production runs die yet, so maybe they fixed the issues.

Wireless security camera

Gave this a four only because instructions are not very clear on how to install wirelessly….I finally called tech support ( found phone number on website) and they walked me through the install…. The other thing is the cord isn’t very long so might not be able to put it where you want/ need it and still be able to reach the electric outlet…..I just ordered my third one bd would recommend these for the price the picture is great and in color…

Great stuff, working perfectly good

Great stuff , working perfectly good.

Older Camera, but works well

Fantastic price on a 3 pack. I needed a replacement when one of my DCS-932L’s went out. Installation was straight forward once you find the required application on the D-Link…
