Section 1: Product Overview
Introduction
The DCS-2530L Full HD 180-Degree Wi-Fi Network Camera boasts an ultra-wide 180° horizontal lens that easily captures your entire room, wall-to-
wall, in high-quality 1080p. Its rotatable head makes ceiling installations easy, and the built-in night vision and handy mobile app empower you
with knowing exactly what is happening, day or night.
180° Wide Angle Lens
The DCS-2530L provides whole-room coverage with a 180° wide angle lens, eliminating the need for multiple cameras to cover a single room.
Built-in dewarping technology automatically corrects the image for you.
1080p Full HD Video
The 1080p Full HD sensor provides crisp detail and clarity for high-quality snapshots and video.
Comprehensive Day/Night Surveillance
The infrared LEDs enable night time viewing of up to 16 feet (5 meters), while the motion sensor and built-in microphone detects nearby motion
and sound anytime day or night. The microSD card slot allows the camera to record snapshots and video directly to onboard storage for a complete
surveillance solution.
Wireless N Connectivity
The DCS-2530L uses high-speed Wireless N to connect to your wireless router, and is compatible with 802.11n/g.
Web Conguration
In addition to the mydlink mobile app, you can use a standard web browser to congure and manage the DCS-2530L through the mydlink website,
and access your DCS-2530L anytime, anywhere in the world from virtually any device.

Section 2: Installation
Installation
There are two ways to set up your camera:
mydlink Lite Mobile App: You can use the mydlink Lite mobile app to guide you through setup and initial conguration of your
camera. Refer to "Mobile App Setup" on page 10.
Zero Conguration Setup: If you have a mydlink-enabled router (D-Link Wi-Fi router), this is the easiest way to set up your camera.
Refer to "Zero Conguration Setup" on page 11.
Note: To ensure your product has the latest security updates and operates at optimal performance, it is recommended you update your product to
the latest rmware after installation and to periodically check for new rmware releases. Updates can be found by searching your model name at
http://support.dlink.com or through the mydlink mobile apps for mydlink registered devices.

Section 2: Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The DCS-2530L connects to your network using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. However,
the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges
vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless
range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between your adapter and other network devices (such as your Network Camera) - each
wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).
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. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may weaken the wireless signal. Try to position your
access points, wireless routers, and other networking devices where the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials
and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete 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.
5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), your wireless connection
may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as
possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.

Mobile App Setup
You can congure your camera through the mydlink Lite mobile app. On your mobile device, download mydlink Lite by searching for mydlink Lite
in the iTunes App Store, Google Play, or the Windows Store.
Launch the mydlink Lite app and create a new account or sign in to your existing account. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your camera.
When you are asked to scan a QR code, use the code on the Quick Install Card in your package, or on the label attached to your device.
Congratulations, your DCS-2530L is now ready to use! Be sure to accept any rmware update to keep your product secure and up to date with the
latest features.

simply plugging it in and connecting it to your router.
Connect your camera to your mydlink-enabled Wi-Fi router and Zero Configuration will automatically configure your DCS-2530L and
add the camera to your mydlink account. After the short time it takes to do this you can remotely access your camera from the website
(http://www.mydlink.com) or the mydlink app to manage and monitor your DCS-2530L.
Plug in the External Power Adapter
Connect the power adapter to the microUSB port on the back of the camera. Plug the power
adapter in to a wall outlet.
Press the WPS button on your camera
Press and hold the WPS button for three seconds. The blue WPS status LED will start blinking.
Press the WPS button on your Wi-Fi Router
Press the WPS button on your router within 60 seconds. The WPS button is usually on the
side or back of your Wi-Fi router. The DCS-2530L will automatically create a secure wireless
connection to your router and reboot. When it has successfully connected, the Power LED will
be lit green and the Direct LED will be turned o.

Set the video codec to be used to JPEG or H.264.
Frame size determines the total capture resolution the camera will use
when viewing and recording video. Higher resolutions provide better
video quality, but will require more bandwidth.
A higher frame rate provides smoother motion for videos, and requires
more bandwidth. Lower frame rates will result in stuttering motion, and
require less bandwidth. Please note that if 1920 x 1080 is selected as your
frame size, your maximum frame rate will be 15 frames a second at most.
This limits the maximum frame rate, which can be combined with the
"Fixed quality" option to optimize the bandwidth utilization and video
quality. If xed bandwidth utilization is desired regardless of the video
quality, choose "Constant bit rate" and select the desired bandwidth.
The bps will aect the bit rate of the video recorded by the camera.
Higher bit rates result in higher video quality.
Select the image quality level for the camera to try to maintain. High
quality levels will result in increased bit rates.
Checking this will mute audio picked up by a microphone connected to
the audio in jack.
Specify how much gain to add to audio picked up by a microphone
connected to the audio in jack.

Motion Detection
Motion detection enables the camera to monitor the video feed for movement. Here, you can specify what part of the image to monitor for motion
and adjust the sensitivity settings that determine whether motion is detected by the camera or not. After making any changes, click the Save

Note: If you do not draw an area to monitor for motion, motion will not
be detected by the camera.
Species how sensitive motion detection will be from 0% to 100%. A
low sensitivity setting means that there must be large changes between
two images in order to detect motion, and a high sensitivity setting
means that even small changes will cause motion to be detected.
Use your mouse to click and drag on the areas that you would like to
monitor for motion.
To erase a motion detection area, simply click on the red square that you
wish to remove.
Right-click on the camera image to bring up the following menu
