Section 1 - Product Overview
Wireless Installation Considerations
The 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 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 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 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.

Conguring the DCS-5222L with a Router
D-Link’s DCS-5222L is a versatile and cost eective Network Camera oering both video and audio monitoring. It can also serve as a powerful
surveillance system in security applications. The DCS-5222L can be used with any wired or 802.11n/g wireless router. This section explains how to
view the camera from either the Internet or from inside your internal network.
Components Needed:
• 1 DCS-5222L Network Camera
• 1 Ethernet Cable
• A wired or wireless router such as the D-Link DIR-655 Wireless Router
• Ethernet-based PC for system conguration
Setting up the DCS-5222L for Use Behind a Router
Installing a DCS-5222L Network Camera on your network is an easy 4–step procedure:
1. Assign a local IP address to your network camera.
2. View the network camera using your Internet Explorer web browser.
3. Access the router with your web browser.
4. Open virtual server ports to enable remote image viewing.
Note: These are manual steps; however, if you decide to use the wizard, it will perform every step automatically.
This section is designed to walk you through the setup process for installing your camera behind a router and enable remote video viewing. For
the basic setup of the DCS-5222L, follow the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide.
After you have completed the setup of the DCS-5222L outlined in the Quick Installation Guide you will have an operating camera that has an
assigned IP Address. Because you are using a router to share the Internet with one or more PCs, the IP Address assigned to the Network Camera
will be a local IP Address. This allows viewing within your Local Area Network (LAN) until the router is congured to allow remote viewing of the
camera over the Internet.
44D-Link DCS-5222L User Manual
Section 5 - Security
1. Assign a Local IP Address to Your Camera
Run the setup wizard from the CD included with the DCS-5222L. Follow the steps in the Quick Installation Guide to congure the DCS-5222L. The
camera will be assigned a local IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router. Write down this IP Address for future reference.
2. View the Network Camera Using Your Internet Explorer Web Browser
Open a Web browser. In the address bar, type in the IP Address that was assigned to the Network Camera. The DCS-5222L Live Video Page appears
with a window displaying live video from the camera.
Click on the Setup button on the left side. Scroll to the bottom of the Network Setup page to display the ports used by HTTP and Streaming audio
and video.
45D-Link DCS-5222L User Manual
Section 5 - Security
The Setup > Network page displays the port settings for your camera. If necessary, these ports can be changed if they are already in use by other
devices (e.g. in a multiple camera environment).
Note: Both the HTTP port and RTSP port are required to be opened for the DCS-5222L.

Section 5 - Security
Router Set-Up and Installation
The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The D-Link DIR-655 is used as an example to clarify the conguration
process. Refer to the router’s user manual for more information on router operation and conguration.
3. Access the Router with Your Web Browser
If you have cable or DSL Internet service, you will most likely have
a dynamically assigned WAN IP Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your
router’s WAN IP address can change from time to time depending
on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identies your router on the
public network and allows it to access the Internet. To nd out what
your router’s WAN IP Address is, go to the Status page on your router
and locate the WAN information for your router (as shown on the next
page). The WAN IP Address will be listed. This will be the address that
you will need to type in your web browser to view your camera over
the Internet.
Your WAN IP Address will be listed on the router’s Status > Device
Info page.
47D-Link DCS-5222L User Manual
Section 5 - Security
Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static
IP address is a xed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use to access your camera from a remote location. The
Static IP Address will also allow you to access your camera attached to your router over the Internet.
4. Open Ports to Enable Remote Image Viewing (Port Forwarding)
The rewall security features built into the DIR-655 router prevent users from accessing the video from the DCS-5222L over the Internet. The router
connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the DCS-5222L are blocked from access over the Internet.
Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the DIR-655 router.
The Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by
clicking on the Advanced tab of the router screen.
Follow these steps to congure your router’s Virtual Server settings:
1. Click Enabled.
2. Enter a dierent name for each entry.
3. Enter your camera’s local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.120) in the Private IP eld.
4. Select TCP for HTTP port, both (TCP and UDP) for RTSP and both (TCP and UDP) for 5556 - 5559 ports.
5. If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and Private Port section, click Apply.
6. Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.
48D-Link DCS-5222L User Manual
Section 5 - Security
Repeat the previous steps adding the port 554 to both the Public and Private Port sections. A check mark appearing before the entry name will
indicate that the ports are enabled.
Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80 and other commonly used Internet ports to conserve bandwidth. Check with your ISP so that you can
open the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does not pass trac on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to
something else, such as 800. Not all routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specic instructions on how to open ports.
Enter valid ports in the Virtual Server section of your router. Please make sure to check the box next to the camera name on the Virtual Server List
to enable your settings.

3. In addition to using mydlink.com, is there another way to access my camera remotely over the Internet?
Yes, you can access your camera over the Internet through the following URL after successfully installing your camera through the Camera Installation
Wizard:
http://mydlinkNo.eu.mydlink.com.
For example, if your camera’s mydlink No. was 12345678, you would be able to access your camera remotely by opening your web browser and
going to http://12345678.eu.mydlink.com.
This URL will open a webpage where you will be asked to log in by entering your camera’s password. After entering your password, your camera’s
Live View window will open, and you will be able to congure your camera as well.
4. Why does the LED not light up?
The power supply might be faulty. Conrm that you are using the provided DC 5V power supply for this network camera. Verify that the power
supply is correctly connected. If the camera is functioning normally, the LED may have been disabled.
5. Why is the camera’s network connection unreliable?
There might be a problem with the network cable. To conrm that the cables are working, PING the address of a known device on the network. If
the cabling is OK and your network is reachable, you should receive a reply similar to the following (…bytes = 32 time = 2 ms).
Another possible problem may be that the network device such as a hub or switch utilized by the Network Camera is not functioning properly.
Please conrm the power for the devices are well connected and functioning properly.
6. Why does the Network Camera work locally but not remotely?
This might be caused by the rewall protection. Check the Internet rewall with your system administrator. The rewall may need to have some
settings changed in order for the Network Camera to be accessible outside your local LAN. For more information, please refer to the section about
installing your camera behind a router.
Make sure that the Network Camera isn’t conicting with any Web server you may have running on your network. The default router setting might
be a possible reason. Check that the conguration of the router settings allow the Network Camera to be accessed outside your local LAN.
51D-Link DCS-5222L User Manual
Section 6 - Troubleshooting
7. Why does a series of broad vertical white lines appear through out the image?
It could be that the CMOS sensor (a square panel situated behind the lens that measures the light signals and changes it into a digital format so
your computer can present it into an image that you are familiar with) has become overloaded when it has been exposed to bright lights such
as direct exposure to sunlight or halogen lights. Reposition the Network Camera into a more shaded area immediately as prolonged exposure to
bright lights will damage the CMOS sensor.
8. The camera is producing noisy images. How can I solve the problem?
The video images might be noisy if the Network Camera is used in a very low light environment.
9. The images are poor quality, how can I improve the image quality?
Make sure that your computer’s display properties are set to at least 6-bit color. Using 16 or 256 colors on your computer will produce dithering
artifacts in the image, making the image look as if it is of poor quality.
The conguration on the Network Camera image display is incorrect. The Web Conguration Video section of the Web management allows you to
adjust the related-parameters for improved images such as: brightness, contrast, hue and light frequency. Please refer to the Web Conguration
section for detailed information.
10. 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.
11. The PIR is no operation well, how can I improve the PIR quality?
• For the Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) to function properly it is required to have direct line of site to the object. When the room has many obstacles
or the line of site is obstructed by glass, the PIR will not function properly.
• When the environment temperature is too high, the PIR detection will slow down and should not be mistaken for a faulty PIR.
• This Network Camera can only be installed indoors. Do not install this camera in a place where IR interference can be a problem. IR interference
can be found close to glass doors or windows, where direct sunlight can cause interference or in the path of car headlights.
52D-Link DCS-5222L User Manual
Section 6 - Troubleshooting
• Do not install this camera next to or in front of an air conditioner outlet or vent.
• Do not install this camera close to wireless devices with high frequencies as the PIR is easily aected by RF radiation.
• The PIR functions at best when detecting lateral movements. Radial movements cannot be detected as well as lateral movements.
• Do not install this camera directly under an extreme bright light. The PIR cannot fully suppress a bright white light.
• Any movements from an object with a normal body temperature, like humans or animals, can be detected. To avoid any malfunctions, install
this camera at the proper height.
• To avoid any malfunctions, install this camera in an environment with an average temperature of 25°C. Only within a distance of 2.5 meters
can smaller movements of an object, with the average adult human’s height, be detected. Between a distance of 2.5 and 5 meters, a larger
movement of an object is required for detection.
• Install this camera on a rm, static, anti-shock surface.
