Section 1: Product Overview
Introduction
Keep an eye on your little one with the DCS-825L Wi-Fi Baby Camera. This portable camera transforms your mobile device into a versatile, yet easy-to-use baby
monitor. Connect to the camera wirelessly at home, or through the Internet when you are at work, so you can check on your infant no matter where you are. You
can even take the DCS-825L with you when you travel with your baby. All you need is a mobile device to connect directly to the Wi-Fi Baby Camera.
The DCS-825L is packed with features including motion, sound, and temperature monitoring, as well as night vision. It will take snapshots, record videos, and can
even play gentle lullabies to help ease your baby to sleep!
7D-Link DCS-825L User Manual
Section 1: Product Overview
Important Safety Information
The DCS-825L is designed to meet the highest safety standards. Please make sure that it is set up and used correctly. It is very important that you follow the
safety guidelines below:
Make sure the DCS-825L and cord are out of baby’s reach. In general,
this means the Wi-Fi Baby Camera and cord should be placed at least
three feet away from baby’s crib.
Use caution if you wall-mount the DCS-825L. Be careful not to allow the
Wi-Fi Baby Camera cord to dangle between the crib and a wall. You should
use the three foot minimum spacing between baby and the cord in this
case, too.
Watch out for other cord hazards. While you’re securing the Wi-Fi Baby
Camera cord, take a moment to look around for any other strangulation
hazards as well. One common culprit is window blind cords that are within
baby’s reach. Cords for other electronics and nursery decor with ribbons
or decorative cords may also be a risk.
Don’t place the DCS-825L on the crib rail. Even if you think your baby
would not touch the Wi-Fi Baby Camera, it’s too risky to leave it within
easy reach of your baby. Even baby camera cords that are secured to the
rail could be yanked or twisted by a curious child.
Mounting the DCS-825L on tabletops. Place the Wi-Fi Baby Camera on
a table top no less than three feet away from your baby’s crib. Feed the
power cord down the back of the table or use wall clips to secure the cord
away so your baby cannot reach the cord. Plug in the power cord, check
your smartphone or tablet to ensure that you are getting a good view of
your child and that there are no obstructions.
As your baby reaches toddlerhood, you should re-evaluate placement
of the DCS-825L. When little arms get longer and toddlers learn to climb
and reach for things, you may need to move the Wi-Fi Baby Camera to
prevent access to the cord.
You can use the DCS-825L in other places besides the nursery, if it's
indoors. When considering alternative locations, avoid placement where
the camera may come in contact with water. Don’t forget to also check
those locations to make sure you can place the Wi-Fi Baby Camera out of
baby’s reach.
Do not place the DCS-825L close to water or heat. Do not use the Wi-
Fi Baby Camera near bathtubs or sinks, and keep the baby camera away
from heat sources such as stoves, radiators, etc.
Strangulation Hazard: Keep the DCS-825L and any attached cords at least three feet out of reach of any children or babies.
Make sure you keep any attached cords out of your baby’s crib or child's sleeping area.
8D-Link DCS-825L User Manual
Section 1: Product Overview
Make sure there is proper ventilation around the DCS-825L. Make sure
you do not place the Wi-Fi Baby Camera on sofas, cushions, beds, etc. in a
way that may block ventilation. DO NOT cover the camera with a blanket.
Remember the DCS-825L is not a toy. Do not allow babies or children
to play with the Wi-Fi Baby Camera. You should never attempt to open or
disassemble the camera.
Most Important: Remember that the DCS-825L is not a babysitter. The Wi-Fi Baby Camera should only be used as a parenting aid for monitoring your
baby or child. While it does give you the ability to remotely view your baby or child, there should always be an adult in the same house. The Wi-Fi Baby
Camera should not be considered a replacement for responsible adult supervision. In addition to monitoring your baby or child with the Wi-Fi Baby
Camera, make sure you check on your child or baby regularly.
How to Ensure your DCS-825L is Secure
The rst step is to make sure you turn on security features during the installation process. Follow the instructions, and make sure you set up
a strong password at least eight characters long, with a mix of symbols and upper and lower case letters. Make sure you keep the Wi-Fi Baby
Camera software and mydlink Baby app up-to-date.
How to Clean Your DCS-825L
Clean the camera with a dry cloth only; never allow the camera to get wet. The sticky pad on the desktop base may be cleaned with water and
air dried (do not use a cloth to dry it). Make sure the base is completely dry before reattaching it to the camera.

13D-Link DCS-825L User Manual
Section 2: Installation
This D-Link camera can connect to your wireless network 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 camera and other network devices - each wall or ceiling can reduce your camera’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 camera at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), your wireless connection may degrade
dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits
a signal even if the phone is not in use.
