Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link SECURICAM Network DCS-5220 Wireless PT Internet Camera is a powerful surveillance system that
connects wirelessly to your 802.11b/g network. The DCS-5220 features enhanced 802.11b/g and connects wirelessly
at a rate of up to 54Mbps1 (Megabits per second). The DCS-5220 differs from a conventional PC Camera because it is
a standalone system with a built-in CPU and Web server, providing a low-cost solution capable of solving demanding
security and home/ofce monitoring needs. Snapshot enables you to save images directly from a Web browser to a
local hard drive without installing any additional software. With 1 lux light sensitivity, the DCS-5220 is capable of
capturing video in rooms with minimal lighting. You can also zoom in with the DCS-5220’s 4x digital zoom2 feature.
The DCS-5220 gives you the ability to monitor video and audio in your home/ofce using an Internet browser from any
where in the world! Simple installation procedures, along with the built-in Web-based interface offers easy integration
to your network environments.
Customers also have the ability to view live video streams from a compatible 3G cell phone. The live camera feed of
the D-Link Wireless PT Internet Camera can be pulled from the 3G cellular network by using a compatible cell phone
with a 3G video player3. From anywhere within the 3G service area, both consumers and small businesses are offered
a exible and convenient way to remotely monitor a home or ofce in real time.
Note: Use of audio or video equipment for recording the image or voice of a person without their knowledge and consent
is prohibited in certain states or jurisdictions. Nothing herein represents a warranty or representation that the D-Link
product provided herein is suitable for the end-user’s intended use under the applicable laws of his or her state. D-Link

passwords are permitted, with privilege settings controlled by the administrator.
Features
• Powerful Surveillance and Remote Monitoring Utility: The powerful IP surveillance software allows an administrator
to modify the Internet Camera settings from a remote site via the Intranet or the Internet. Administrators are
capable of monitoring live video feeds as well as recording video and taking snapshots.
•Variety Data Archive: Record video clips directly onto a Network Attached Storage (NAS) or to a network-based
computer. The DCS-5220 allows you to schedule both recorded video and snapshots to be uploaded onto an
FTP server or sent via e-mail.
• Broad Range of Applications: With today’s high-speed Internet, the Internet Camera provides the ideal solution
for live video images over the Intranet and Internet for remote monitoring. The DCS-5220 allows remote access
from an Internet Explorer Web browser for live image viewing with audio and allows the administrator to manage
and control the Internet Camera anywhere and any time. Apply the Internet Camera to monitor various objects
and places such as homes, ofces, banks, hospitals, child-care centers, amusement parks and other varieties of
industrial and public monitoring. The Internet Camera can also be used for intruder detection with its motion-detection
mode, capture still images and video images for archiving and many more applications. The wireless capability
enables you to place the camera where it is inconvenient to install network cables.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link Wireless PT Internet Camera lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually
anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that 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. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link adapter and other network devices to a
minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position
your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
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 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 have a negative effect on
range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that 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 away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that
generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and
home security systems), 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.

Viewing Your DCS-5220
After all the router settings have been entered correctly, a PC user inside or outside your network will have access to
the camera through the Internet Explorer Web browser. To access the camera from the Internet, type the IP Address
of the router given to you by your ISP, followed by a colon, and the port number that you gave your camera (e.g.,
http://70.42.15.9:83). It is not necessary to enter the colon and port number if you are using the default Web server
port 80. To access from a computer on your local (home) network, simply enter the local IP Address of the Camera
followed by a colon and the port number (e.g., 192.168.0.120:83).
If you are following this manual in the order it is presented,
