Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the DCS-5000L Pan & Tilt Wi-Fi Day/Night Camera. The DCS-5000L is a versatile and unique solution for your home or small oce. Unlike a standard webcam, the DCS-5000L is a complete system with a built-in CPU, web server, and wireless networking device that transmits high quality video images for security and surveillance. The pan/tilt function allows the camera to patrol a wide area, while the built-in IR LEDs provide around-the-clock surveillance regardless of the lighting conditions.
The DCS-5000L can be accessed remotely, and controlled from any PC/laptop over your local network or through the Internet via a web browser. The simple installation and intuitive web-based interface oer easy integration with your Ethernet/Fast Ethernet or 802.11 b/g/n wireless network. Wireless N technology gives you the freedom to place the DCS-5000L anywhere within range of your existing wireless network. The DCS-5000L also comes with remote monitoring and motion detection features for a customized, cost-eective security solution.
Your DCS-5000L is mydlink-enabled, which means that you can view and manage your camera over the Internet through the mydlink website, or through the mydlink mobile app for iOS and Android. You can view your live video feed, take snapshots, and manage the camera’s conguration, all from anywhere you have Internet access.

Features

Easy to Use and mydlink-Enabled for Easy Access and Management
The DCS-5000L is a standalone surveillance camera that requires no special hardware or software, and can operate independently, even without a PC. This camera is also mydlink-enabled, which means you can view and manage your camera through the mydlink website, or through the mydlink mobile app for iOS and Android mobile devices.
Pan/Tilt for Wide Viewing Area
Patrol a large area with one camera thanks to the DCS-5000L’s pan and tilt functions. You can use the web interface to manually adjust the camera lens position, or set up to 24 pre-dened preset positions, enabling you to quickly move to frequently used points of interest.
IR LEDs for Day and Night functionality
The built-in infrared LEDs enable night time viewing of up to 8 meters (26 feet), giving you clear images regardless of lighting conditions.
MJPEG Codec for Smooth, Space-Ecient Video
This camera supports use of the MJPEG video codec, which gives you high-quality video with reduced bandwidth requirements. This means that you can enjoy smoother, more reliable video streaming over the Internet, and less disk space is required to save recordings.
Motion Triggered Notications and Recordings
The DCS-5000L can send email notications with snapshots or video clips whenever motion is detected. You can customize areas of the video to monitor for motion to keep watch over specic areas of interest, and have the DCS-5000L send you an email notication or upload images to an FTP server whenever motion is detected.

802.11n/g/b Wireless or Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Support
The DCS-5000L oers wireless 802.11n/g/b and Ethernet/Fast Ethernet connectivity, making it easy to integrate into your existing network environment. The DCS-5000L works with either a 10 Mbps Ethernet-based network or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet-based network for traditional wired environments, and works with 802.11n/g/b wireless routers or access points for added exibility. The Site Survey feature also allows you to view and connect to any available wireless networks within range of the camera.
Micro-USB Powered for Convenience
For added convenience, the DCS-5000L can be powered via any Micro-USB cable, so you don’t have to worry about looking for a matching power adapter when setting it up for use. Simply use the included or standard Micro-USB cable and plug it into any USB power adapter or powered USB port and it’ll be powered on and ready for use.
Remote Monitoring with mydlink Lite App

Wireless Installation Considerations

Your 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 by 1-30 meters (3-90 feet).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is half a meter thick (1.5 feet), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 1 meter (3 feet) thick. At a 2-degree angle, it can appear over 14 meters (42 feet) 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 product at least or 1-2 meters (3-6 feet ) 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.

WPS - Push Button Setup

If your router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can create a secure wireless connection using the WPS Button on the back of the camera. Please note that WPS setup only establishes a secure wireless connection, and you will still need to run the Setup Wizard to congure your camera.
To create a WPS connection:
Step 1
Make sure the camera is plugged in, then press and hold the WPS button for ten seconds. The blue WPS status LED will start blinking.
Step 2
Press the WPS button on your router within 60 seconds. The WPS button is usually on the front or side of your router. On some routers, 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, please refer to your router’s User Manual.
The DCS-5000L will automatically create a secure wireless connection to your router. While connecting, the blue LED will ash and your camera will reboot.
Note: You can also set up a wireless connection manually; please see Wireless Setup on page 34.

Mounting Instructions

To mount your camera on a wall or ceiling, please follow the steps below.
It is suggested that you congure the camera before mounting.
Place the mounting bracket where you want to position the camera and use a pencil to mark the holes.
1
Use appropriate tools to drill two holes the same diameter as the plastic anchors. After drilling the holes, insert the plastic anchors to support the screws.
If desired, the power and Ethernet cables can be concealed behind the mounting bracket. Run the cables through the back of the mounting bracket, securing them with the built-in guides. Be sure to leave enough cable length protruding from the top to allow connection to the camera.
