D-Link Surveillance Center Addon
Checking the Hardware Requirements
To use your Surveillance Center, you will need at least one hard drive. If you plan to use RAID, which protects your data against
one hard drive failure, you will need at least two hard drives.
Note:
For the ShareCenter®, we recommend that you use at least four 1TB high performance drives. This provides more data drives,
better striping performance, and helps distribute loads more effectively.
This section will help you:
• Select the hard drives
• Determine hard disk space you will need
• Ensure your data is protected
• Understand the basic requirements for a router or switch
• Select the compatible IP Camera(s)
Selecting Hard Drives:
You can use hard drives from any manufacturer and with any capacity with your Surveillance Center. The D-Link ShareCenter
supports standard 3.5” internal SATA drives. If you are unsure, ask your administrator or hard drive retailer/manufacturer to
verify that your hard drives meet this standard
*Warning - Any pre-existing data on the drives will be erased during installation.
Selecting IP Cameras:
The Surveillance Center only supports D-Link IP cameras and are not compatible with third-party cameras. It supports the
following cameras: DCS-930/930L, DCS-932/932L, DCS-1100/1100L, DCS-1130/1130L, DCS-5230/5230L, DCS-942L, DCS-
2103/2130, DCS-2210/2230, DCS-5222L/5211L
*Warning - Confirm with your supplier on reseller that these cameras are compatible with your network and NAS.
