Software Installation
There are three ways to set up your camera:
Zero Conguration Setup: If you have a mydlink-enabled router, this is the easiest way to set up your camera.
Refer to page 12.
Camera Setup Wizard: If you do not have a mydlink-enabled router, use the Camera Installation Wizard to guide
you through setup and initial conguration of your camera. Refer to page 16.
Manual Hardware Installation: This section shows you how to manually set up your camera, though in order to
use the mydlink features of your camera, you will still need to run the Camera Installation Wizard. Refer to page 18.

Section 2: Installation
Zero Conguration Setup
If you have a D-Link Cloud Router, you can take advantage of Zero Conguration. Zero Conguration automatically congures
your camera's settings for you, and adds it to your mydlink account automatically. This type of setup allows you to set up your
camera by simply plugging it in and connecting it to your router.
Connect your camera to your mydlink enabled cloud router and Zero Conguration will automatically congure your
DCS-7000L and automatically add the camera to your mydlink account. You can now remotely access your camera from the
mydlink.com website to manage and monitor your DCS-7000L.
Connect the Ethernet Cable
If using an Ethernet connection: Connect the included Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet port located on the back of the DCS-7000L and connect it to your router.
Attach the External Power Supply
Attach the external power supply to the DC Power receptor located on the rear
panel of the DCS-7000L and connect it to your wall outlet or power strip.

Wireless Installation Considerations
This D-Link device can connect to your wireless network 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 DCS-7000L) - 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 2.4 GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), your wireless connection may degrade
dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 GHz 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.
