Wireless Installation Considerations
TheD-LinkWirelessNetworkCameraletsyouaccessyournetworkusingawirelessconnectionfromanywherewithintheoperatingrangeofyour

limittherange.TypicalrangesvarydependingonthetypesofmaterialsandbackgroundRF(radiofrequency)noiseinyourhomeorbusiness.
The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimizethenumberofwallsandceilingsbetweenyouradapterandothernetworkdevices(suchasyourNetworkCamera)-
eachwallorceilingcanreduceyouradapter’srangefrom3-90feet(1-30meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be
almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle, it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position your devices so that the signal
will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. BuildingMaterialsmakeadierence.Asolidmetaldoororaluminumstudsmayweakenthewirelesssignal.Trytoposition
your access points, wireless routers, and other networking devices where the signal passes through drywall or open doorways.
Materialsandobjectssuchasglass,steel,metal,wallswithinsulation,water(shtanks),mirrors,lecabinets,brick,andconcrete
will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static
IP address is a xed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use to access your camera from a remote location. The
Static IP Address will also allow you to access your camera attached to your router over the Internet.
4. Open Ports to Enable Remote Image Viewing (Port Forwarding)
The rewall security features built into the DIR-655 router prevent users from accessing the video from the DCS-5222L over the Internet. The router
connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the DCS-5222L are blocked from access over the Internet.
Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the DIR-655 router.
The Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by
clicking on the Advanced tab of the router screen.
1. Click Enabled.
2. Enter a dierent name for each entry.
3. Enteryourcamera’slocalIPAddress(e.g.,192.168.0.120)inthePrivateIPeld.
4. Select TCP for HTTP port, both (TCP and UDP) for RTSP and both (TCP and UDP) for 5556 - 5559 ports.
5. If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and Private Port section, click Apply.
6. Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.

50D-Link DCS-5222L User Manual
Section 5 - Security
Repeat the previous steps adding the port 554 to both the Public and Private Port sections. A check mark appearing before the entry name will
indicate that the ports are enabled.
Note: Some ISPs may block access to port 80 and other commonly used Internet ports to conserve bandwidth. Check with your ISP so that you can open
the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does not pass trac on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to something else,
such as 800. Not all routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specic instructions on how to open ports.
Enter valid ports in the Virtual Server section of your router. Please make sure to check the box next to the camera name on the Virtual Server List
to enable your settings.

This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DCS-5222L.
1. What is Remote Access? How do I enable it?
Remote Access allows you to access your camera from any PC connected to the Internet through a web browser. This lets you view your camera
feedandmanageyourcamera’ssettingswhenyou’reawayfromhome.
ToenableRemoteAccess,simplygothroughtheCameraInstallationWizardincludedontheInstallationCDthatcameinyourpackage.Youcan

After checking the above items, you can click the Retry button to refresh the summary screen to see if Remote Access has been enabled.
2. What can I do if I forget my password?
If you forget your password, you will need to perform a hard reset of your camera. This process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults.
To reset your camera, please use an unfolded paperclip to press and hold the RESET button for at least 8 seconds while your camera is plugged in.
