Section 2: Installation

Wireless Installation Considerations

The DCS-2670L connects to 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 camera and other network devices (such as your Network Camera) - 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 difference. 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 (fish tanks), mirrors, file 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.

Mounting the Camera

To mount your camera on a wall or ceiling, please follow the steps below. It is recommended that you configure the camera before mounting.

Step 1:

Place the baseplate where you want to position the camera and use a pencil to mark the holes. You can use the large holes for a removable installation, or the small holes for a fixed one. Make sure the lock arrow on the plate is pointing down.

Step 2:

Depending on the material of the wall or ceiling, use proper tools to drill holes 25 mm deep with a 6 mm drill bit where you marked. If the wall is made out of concrete, drill the holes first, then insert the plastic anchors to support the screws.

Step 3:

Place the baseplate over the holes that are in the wall. Make sure to align the baseplate holes with the holes in the wall. Use the supplied screws to attach the baseplate to the surface of the wall.

Waterproofing Your Camera

After configuring your camera, follow the instructions below to prevent water from entering the camera's Ethernet and Power Cable connections.

Waterproofing your connectors when using Wi-Fi:

Step 1:

Plug the power adapter into the dongle.

Step 2:

To waterproof the Ethernet socket, align the cap according to the thread and twist it clockwise to seal it.

Note: Due to its IP65 rating we recommend that you install your device under a roof or a shelter to protect the Power and Ethernet connections from water seepage. However, the cables and connections need to be located away from all potential water hazards.

Section 2: Installation

Waterproofing your connectors using electrical tape:

If you are using an Ethernet connection, follow the instructions below to prevent water from entering the camera's Ethernet and power cable connectors.

Step 1:

Connect the power and Ethernet cables to their sockets.

Step 2:

Wind waterproof tape, such as butyl rubber or vinyl tape, around the individual cables and connectors in a half-overlapping manner then wrap all the connectors together. Be sure to cover all of the connectors and any unsheathed cables.

Note: Butyl rubber tape should be wrapped by stretching the tape to about twice its length, and wrapping it around the cable. Failure to stretch the tape sufficiently will result in insufficient waterproofing performance.

Accessing the Web Configuration Utility

After completing the setup wizard in the mydlink Lite app, you are ready to use your camera.

The camera’s built-in Web configuration utility is designed to allow you to easily access and DCS-2670L configure your DCS-2670L. Once it is set up, enter the IP address of your camera into a web

browser, such as Internet Explorer®. To log in, use the User name admin and the password you created in the Installation Wizard. If you did not create a password, you will be prompted to create one. Initially, you can log in using the default password, which is blank. After entering your new password, click OK.

Note: If you are directly connecting your PC to the camera, or if you are using the camera on a closed network, the default IP is 192.168.0.20.

Please make sure that you have the latest version of Java application installed on your computer to ensure proper operation when viewing the video in Java mode. The Java application can be downloaded at no cost from Sun’s web site (http://www.java.com).

When you connect to the home page of your camera, you may be prompted to download ActiveX. If you want to use ActiveX to view your video images instead of Java, then you must download ActiveX.
