Question: Can you view the stream from an IP address or do you have to go through dLink's site?
Document: This is when the camera green led's start to blink. (Since you have to type an IP address maybe you can set up this recording software off site?). Then go to the second button on the main screen to tell it to record on each camera all day or at certain times of the day/week. Set it for all day at first so you can start playing with the playback feature (first button on the main screen).
I was able to plug this thing in, look on my router's GUI for a list of attached devices, then go to the IP address it was assigned in my web browser and configure from there.Dislikes:- Narrow field of view. Wish it was wider to show more area. As is it is only useful for monitoring a narrow area. This seems to be pretty normal in this price range.- Audio noise.
The camera stays connected to the network, and never stops broadcasting.The only task that isn't very easy to set up, is having the video go to a local hard drive. There isn't a quick and easy way to utilize this feature, though having it save a stream of pictures to a local or remote FTP site is very simple and reliable.Overall, I would recommend this camera. Everything you would want a wireless camera for is very simple to set up.
**One thing that is not mentioned is how to get the IP address of the camera. If you rely on the D-View Cam software you can skip reading this paragraph... After a bit of searching on the web I found that if I looked in my router for the list of attached devices via DHCP the camera will appear in the list and show the assigned IP.
My SSID contained only letters, no spaces or symbols.The above made it pretty useless for me. However, here are a few good things about it that I was able to discover:* You do not need to use D-Link's software to set up or manage the camera. There is a Web interface. You'll just need to find the camera's IP address and view it in a Web browser (you can do the same with most network printers, for example).
Tried connecting using the included software. Could not find camera... Ended up going into router settings and finding IP address of individual camera. Configured it that way but now I can not create a mydlink account... The only way to view is by port forwarding etc... I have a CCNA and work with a tech company. I am very tech savy and this camera would not connect for some reason
To view the camera within your local network you can either use the installed software on the CD or simply use [...] website.DCS-930L is compatible with both Windows & Mac OS.You can also access each camera's configuration using their IP address. Or after logon to [...] click on the linked camera > Camera settings tab. If you're familiar with D-Link's router web interface because the DCS-930L is no different.
Leave you connection active when you begin you install. By doing this, when you run your installation software, you will go into the D-link site.2)  If you anticipate you will be wanting to view your camera with your computer, you will need to have Flash on your Windows computer and Java for Apple. This leads to some confusion because for both Apple and Windows set-ups, it says it likes to use the latest Flash.
((could you imagine if Amazon.com was offline for hours for &#34;Scheduled Maintenance&#34; ?? ))Take my advice ... base your standards on what Amazon delivers. Don't go for accepting DLink's rubbish can't match these standards.
I bought this camera to use as a simple monitor for the front of our house. The setup to my current network was easy at first, but after getting into the advanced setup there are some issues. After finding a video on YouTube I was able to fix the problem. Also do yourself a favor and don't use the disk that the camera comes with. The software is already outdated. Go to Dlink's website and download the latest setup software.Pros:Good resolution.
Answer: If you can discover the local address, then you can talk to it directly.  (For example, after you push the buttons and do the WPS pairing, you can go to your access point's management page and look at what addresses it has given out; one of them will say DCS-930L_XXXXXX where XXXXXX is a 6-digit (hex) serial number; for a modern access point like Asus RT N66u, you can even click on the address and go directly to the camera from there.)Getting at that address from *outside* your home network is more complicated (which is why there's a market for the dlink service) but setting up port forwarding from some outside port to port 443 (https) on the inside address is sufficient to permit streaming from anywhere (assuming your ISP isn't also blocking ports.)
