Do you ever wonder what lurks in your house overnight ? Is it a ghost ? A mouse ? Did you ever wonder who ate the last piece of carrot cake between the hours of 0Dark30 and 0530 ? How about your burning desire to know what Fifi, Fluffy or Fido do when you are gone ? Or, when did that skunk do his thing in your back yard?
D-Link can monitor all of that with just one camera; The DCS-5020L pan/tilt Wireless Network Camera. You can monitor it from the comforts of your laptop, desktop, android or iOS device.
From unboxing to setting up and actually transmitting a picture took less than 10 minutes.
You can take two paths to installation; wired (with the included CAT5 cable, or wireless. I opted for the wireless install. My router does not have a WPS button, but no worries. dLink provides you with a web based setup. Once plugged in, I followed the directions to a “T”, and within 1 minute, I was my own James Bond.
There does not appear to be a wireless distance limit published, and as tested, the furthest distance was about 80 feet from a Wireless N router, through 2-3 walls of horsehair plaster.
There also is no advertised weather resistance advertised, but in speaking to tech support it was found that is minimum operating temp is 32ºF. Furthermore, this was set up in a window between the window and screen, and even during rainy weather, performed great.
Whether you logon with a mobile device or an actual desktop or laptop, you will be amazed at the picture quality and sound. It has IR lighting also, so you can see upto 25 feet in total darkness. Again, the picture quality is outstanding.
You can take a snapshot at any time as well, whether it be for evidence, or simply the cute shot of your precious angel sleeping.
This is the ultimate surveillance camera, combining the low cost for any budget, and the features that you need to keep a watch on what matters most. And one last great feature; It has a built in WiFi extender which means you can extend your network in the home or office.
