Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link Wireless Network Camera lets you access your network using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of your
wireless network. However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may
limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business.
The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between your adapter and other network devices (such as your network camera) each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be
almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle, it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position your devices so that the signal
will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may weaken the wireless signal. Try to position
your access points, wireless routers, and other networking devices where the signal passes through drywall or open doorways.
Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete
will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), your wireless connection
may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as
possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.

WPS - Push Button Setup
Alternatively, you may create a connection to the camera using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature.
To create a WPS connection:
Step 1
Press and hold the WPS button for three seconds. The blue WPS status LED above
the button will blink.
Step 2
Press the WPS button on your router or access point within 120 seconds. The WPS
button is usually on the front or side of your router. On some routers and access
points, you may need to log in to the web interface and click on an on-screen
button to activate the WPS feature. If you are not sure where the WPS button is
on your router/AP, please refer to your router or AP’s User Manual.
The DCS-5222LB1 will automatically create a wireless connection to your router
or access point. While connecting, the green LED will ash and your camera will
reboot.
