D-Link DCS-5222L Cloud Camera Review: Call It 'Professional Lite'

If you're looking for a pan/tilt IP camera for security purposes, but you don't need the top-shelf performance and design features that drive the price of more business-centric models like the Axis M5014 beyond five bills, the $250 (as of August 5, 2012) D-Link DCS-5222L is worth consideration.

Very good picture, features and easy set up. It is a bit expensive but worth it as it just works and is reliable. I have tried various Philips products, these are unreliable and a complete waste of time.

D-Link DCS-5222L review

The DCS-5222L is a relatively large network camera. Its design is in part dictated by its pan and tilt capabilities, which mean you have more flexibility in terms of placement compared to a fixed-angle camera.

D-Link DCS-5222L Review

Pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) isn't new to D-Link's webcams, but the DCS-5222L is the first with "HD" resolution. In this case, that translates to 1280x800 pixels. MyDlink-enabled cameras are different from many webcams in that you don't have to poke holes in your firewall or any of that rigmarole.
Pros:
  • Doesn't require monthly surcharge to run
Cons:
  • Clunky web interface
  • switches to night mode too easily

Great IP Cam for New Born

This IP Cam works great. Specially the night vision works way better than I expected. Now my wife and I don't need to check our new born by opening the door. I know some other people said it is really hard to setup. I was worry about it.

Review of D-Link Cloud Camera 5000 (DCS-5222L)

The D-Link Cloud Camera 5000 has a lot of potential. The specs of the camera are impressive and it is solidly built with the camera resting in a gimbal to provide full tilt and pan capability. Its main problem currently is the software that runs the camera.
Pros:
  • Full-featured hardware
  • Good picture quality
  • Pan/tilt capability
  • IR sensor works well in low light
  • Wireless enabled
  • Works with Synology Surveillance Station
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • Relies on Java for web viewing
  • Not inconspicuous
  • Jerky pan/tilt
  • Sporadic connection failures
  • Documentation could be improved

Good purchase, does what it needs to do and does it correctly

I set this up for my family abroad to be able to see the baby's room and be able to chat with us. I give it only 4 stars since I have not had a chance to setup motion or sound detection, and I believe that the quality is a little low for "HD", also the 2 way sound could be improved, but overall it...

very good product

last user who gave this 1 star clearly has no idea what he is doing. this item does not ship with cd or manual, you go online for that. most electronics these days are moving away from that anyways since everything is online.
Pros:
  • great in any lighting condition email snapshot feature is really handy
Cons:
  • wps may be tricky if you've never done it before dlink full app costs 99 cents

D-Link Pan/Tilt/Zoom Cloud Camera DCS-5222L review

This device has so many useful features we have only scratched the surface in this review. However, its a shame that with such a rich feature set the device is let down by a poor quality image sensor.
