D-Link DCS-930L D-Link Wireless N Network Camera Reviewed
Over the years, I've had an occasional need for a security camera to watch over my house. I've checked out a few cameras, but found that the inexpensive units on the market were really no more than toys that weren't suited for 24/7 deployment. But times change.
Pros:
- Low cost
- 802.11n wireless
- Good quality video
- including low light
- Audio monitoring
Cons:
- A few quirks
- Recording not built in
- Motion detection setup can be finicky
- No MacOS setup or mgmt / recording support

Pros:

D-Link Wireless N Home Camera DCS-930L review
While some webcams offer basic motion detection, they need to be plugged into your PC, which must be kept switched on when you're out. This surveillance might reassure you, but the resulting electricity bills won't.

D-LINK DCS-930L mydlink Wireless-N Network Camera
Mains plug contained an adapter for UK 13 amp socket connection. This could be a problem if you don't have much room beneath the socket. Minimum 45mm required beneath socket.

- As expected
Cons:
- 13 amp adapter included but.

After we reviewed the DropCam Echo a few weeks back and found ourselves generally unimpressed, we received an e-mail from someone at D-Link saying something to the effect of: "Dude, you have to try out our thing, because our thing is totally better than their thing and costs a heck of a lot less
Pros:
- Wireless connectivity

- Relatively low cost

Most useful product ever
I normally don't leave product reviews, but my wife and I have been so happy with this product that I felt it necessary to post a review, plus I noticed that another customer left a nasty product review. We have been using this camera for over 6 months; checking in on a daily basis.
Pros:
- Easy to Use
- Clarity
- Design
- price
- utility

Great Network camera with easy setup for the LAN, but I have tried at least 6 times to get my Verizon router to let the video go out to the WWW, with no luck. Port Forwarding is VERY difficult and confusing on Verizon FIOS.

Not a bad camera and it certainly works NOW. It did take almost six months from the time of purchase before it was even usable, due to wonky drivers and a horrible system to initially set it up. The app for remote access is simply so-so also due to it not running off the SD card. You can access...

Don't buy this.
Picked it up today and tried setting it up. Seemed simple enough. Plug in, run wizard, PRESTO. Didn't do that. For whatever reason, plugging the ethernet cable into my network router cut off my internet two or three times, and there was no way the device/wizard would connect to the DLink system, so...

You get what you pay for
I even attempted to upgrade the firmware to 1.06, and there was no improvement in operation. If you set up in third party software, make sure to set it up to MJPEG stream at path /video.cgi Other paths /image.jpg and /audio.cgi appear to work, but no idea what codec used for audio stream.
Pros:
- Ability to use wireless VGA-20fps (640X480
Cons:
- Unable to connect to telus wireless router
- (actiontec) Crashes the router when connected wireless Unable to be used in daylight (gama too high - saturated image Flickering and lines in image (even with anti-flicker set in firmware Software and documentation terribly lacking detail and...
