Wireless Installation Considerations
This D-Link camera 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 camera and other network devices - each wall or ceiling can reduce your camera’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 dierence. 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 camera 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.

Software Installation
There are three ways to set up your camera:
Zero Conguration Setup: If you have a D-Link Cloud Router, this is the easiest way to set up your camera. Refer
to "Zero Conguration Setup" on page 13.
Camera Setup Wizard: If you do not have a D-Link Cloud Router, use the DCS-2136L Setup Wizard to guide you
through setup and initial conguration of your camera. Refer to"Camera Setup Wizard" on page 16.
Manual Hardware Installation: This section shows you how to manually set up your camera. However, in order to
use the mydlink features of your camera, you will still need to run the DCS-2136L Setup Wizard. Refer to "Manual
Hardware Installation" on page 18.
12D-Link DCS-2136L User Manual
Section 2: Installation
Zero Conguration Setup
If you have a D-Link Cloud Router, you can take advantage of Zero Conguration. Zero Conguration automatically congures your camera for you, and adds it to your mydlink account. This allows you to set up your camera by simply plugging it in and connecting it to your router. Then you will be able to remotely access your camera from the mydlink.com website.
If you do not have a D-Link Cloud Router, use the DCS-2136L Setup Wizard to guide you through setup and initial conguration of your camera. Refer to"Camera Setup Wizard" on page 16.
Connect Using an Ethernet Cable
If using an Ethernet connection: Connect the included Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port located on the back of the DCS-2136L and connect it to your router.
Note: Using the Ethernet connection will also congure your wireless settings. If you want to use your camera wirelessly, you can unplug the Ethernet cable once the setup is complete.
Attach the External Power Supply
Attach the external power supply to the power receptor located on the rear panel of the DCS-2136L. Connect the power supply to your wall outlet or power strip.

Section 4 - Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
1. What can I do if I forget my password?
If you forget your password, you must reset your camera. Unfortunately, this will change your settings back to the factory defaults. To reset your camera, use an unfolded paperclip to press and hold the RESET button for at least three seconds while your camera is plugged in.
2. Why does the LED not light up?
The power supply might be faulty. Conrm that you are using the provided DC 5V power supply for this camera. Verify that the power supply is correctly connected. If the camera is functioning normally, the LED may have been disabled. See "Motion Detection Setup Wizard" on page 29 for information about how to enable the LED.
3. Why does a series of broad vertical white lines appear through out the image?
It could be that the image sensor has become overloaded when it has been exposed to bright light such as direct exposure to sunlight or halogen lights. Reposition the camera into a more shaded area immediately, as prolonged exposure to bright lights will damage the sensor.
Reset
4. Why are no images available through the Web browser?
ActiveX might be disabled. If you are viewing the images from Internet Explorer make sure ActiveX has been enabled in the Internet Options menu. You may also need to change the security settings on your browser to allow the ActiveX plug-in to be installed. If you are using Internet Explorer with a version number lower than 6, then you will need to upgrade your Web browser software in order to view the streaming video transmitted by the Network Camera.
