Use the included Ethernet cable and plug it into the camera. Plug the other
end into an available (LAN) port on your D-Link Cloud Router. Connect the
power adapter into the power port on the back of the camera.
Note: If you wish to use your camera wirelessly, you will be able to remove the
cable after the Zero Conguration Setup is complete and place the camera within
your wireless network. The router will congure the camera’s wireless settings
automatically.
Step 2 - Attach the External Power Adapter
Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet or surge protector.

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 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 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 congure 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-5010L will automatically create a secure wireless connection to your
router. While connecting, the blue LED will ash and your camera will reboot.

Mounting Instructions
To mount your camera on a wall or ceiling, please follow the steps below.
It is suggested that you congure the camera
before mounting.
Place the mounting bracket where you want
to position the camera and use a pencil to
mark the holes.
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.

Fasten the mounting bracket to the wall using

the screws provided.
Do not overtighten the screws as this may
crack the mounting bracket.
Using the supplied thumbscrew, fasten the
camera to the mounting bracket. Connect
the power and Ethernet cables to the
camera.
Adjust the angle of the arm on the
mounting bracket as required. Tighten the
thumbscrew to lock the arm in place.
