Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the DCS-5000L Pan & Tilt Wi-Fi Day/Night Camera. The DCS-5000L is a versatile and unique
solution for your home or small office. Unlike a standard webcam, the DCS-5000L is a complete system with a built-in CPU,
web server, and wireless networking device that transmits high quality video images for security and surveillance. The pan/tilt
function allows the camera to patrol a wide area, while the built-in IR LEDs provide around-the-clock surveillance regardless
of the lighting conditions.
The DCS-5000L can be accessed remotely, and controlled from any PC/laptop over your local network or through the Internet
via a web browser. The simple installation and intuitive web-based interface offer easy integration with your Ethernet/Fast
Ethernet or 802.11 b/g/n wireless network. Wireless N technology gives you the freedom to place the DCS-5000L anywhere
within range of your existing wireless network. The DCS-5000L also comes with remote monitoring and motion detection
features for a customized, cost-effective security solution.
Your DCS-5000L is mydlink-enabled, which means that you can view and manage your camera over the Internet through the
mydlink website, or through the mydlink mobile app for iOS and Android. You can view your live video feed, take snapshots,
and manage the camera’s configuration, all from anywhere you have Internet access.
