Introduction
The D-Link SecuriCam DCS-5300W Wireless Internet Camera is a powerful
surveillance system that connects wirelessly to your 802.11b network. The
DCS-5300W features enhanced 802.11b and connects wirelessly at up to 22
Mbps (Megabits per second). The DCS-5300W is the latest product added to
the D-Link internet camera line. The DCS-5300W can be used with any wired
or wireless router to connect to a wireless 802.11b Ethernet or Fast Ethernet
Network. The camera features a motorized pan and tilt function found on more
expensive cameras. This function allows the viewing area of the camera to
extend 270oside-to-side and 90oup and down. The DCS-5300W gives you the
ability to monitor your home/office when you can not be there. Place the camera
anywhere you would like to monitor with no PC required on location!
Features and Benefits
The D-Link SecuriCam DCS-5300W Wireless Internet Camera is connected
through an Ethernet connection and a power source. You only need one PC to
initially configure multiple cameras for all locations. Each camera has a built in
web server with a configurable IP address.
Motorized Pan and Tilt Operation
The DCS-5300W has a pan and tilt function that can expand your viewing area
to cover a wide 270oangle side-to-side and a 90o angle up and down. This can
be done with a PC from any location or locally using the included infrared
remote control.
Suports a Variety of Platforms
In addition , the DCS-5300W supports a variety of platforms including FTP,
SMTP, NTP, and HTTP. The camera also supports UPnP and DDNS. DDNS
allows the camera to use an easier to remember naming format rather than an
IP address. UPnP will allow users of Windows XP and ME to install the camera
with the click of a mouse.
CCD Sensor
The DCS-5300W comes standard with a high quality CCD sensor that is superior
to a CMOS type sensor. The fixed focus glass lens will facilitate the use of the
DCS-5300W providing crystal clear and sharp images. You can view up to 30
frames per second of live motion video with 380 lines resolution.

Hardware Installation
Connect to an Ethernet Network
If you are connecting the DCS-5300W to a
wired Ethernet network, connect an
Ethernet cable to the network cable
connector located on the Internet Camera’s
back panel and attach it to the network.
If you are connecting the DCS-5300W to a
802.11b wireless Ethernet network, attach
the two wireless antennas to the antenna
connectors on the back panel of the DCS-
5300W.
Attach the external power supply
Attach the external power supply to the DC
power input connector located on the
Internet Camera’s back panel (labeled
12VDC) and connect it to your wall outlet.
The Internet Camera comes with a camera
stand with a swivel ball screw head that
can be attached to the Internet Camera
bottom socket cavity. Attach the camera
stand to the Internet Camera and station it
for your application. There are holes
located in the base of the camera stand
allowing the Internet Camera to be mounted
to the ceiling, or any wall securely.
Attaching the Internet Camera to the Camera Stand
When you have a proper connection, the LED will turn from red to green. The
light may cycle on and off and your computer may show an intermittent loss of
connectivity, this is normal until you have configured your Internet Camera.

Software Installation
After you have successfully completed the hardware installation of the
DCS-5300W Internet Camera, it is necessary to install software to configure
and operate the camera. The first step is to run the IP Installer program on the
CD. IP Installer allows you to use the Internet Camera with your Internet browser.
With the IP Installer program you can enter settings that permit the camera to
access the Internet directly or through your Ethernet network.
After the IP Installer software program is completed, you will have an operating
and controllable Internet Camera. From your Internet Explorer Web browser
you will be able to access the video and sound from the Internet camera. The
camera has a built-in Web server. This Web server will allow the camera to
access the Internet without being attached to a computer and permits users to
view the video and audio remotely.
However, it is necessary to install the IP surveillance software from the enclosed
CD to create a truly powerful monitoring and surveillance system. The following
section will detail the installation of the IP Installer and the IP surveillance
software.
Installing the IP Installer program
Insert the CD that is included with the DCS-5300W Internet Camera. The
DCS-5300W installation menu will start up automatically from the CD. If the CD
does not startup automatically (the Windows operating system may turn this
function off), simply access the CD from Windows and click on the autorun.exe
program to access the installation menu shown below:
Click IP Installer

11
IMPORTANT:
A hardware reset of the Internet Camera is now required to allow the IP Installer
program to configure the camera correctly. To accomplish this reset, lightly insert
a paper clip (or a similar sized tool) into the reset hole on the back of the camera
(see page 6 for the location of the reset button.) The LED on the front of the
camera will begin blinking red and green. When it stops the blinking cycle
continue to hold in the reset button until a second cycle of blinking red and green
lights indicates a second reset cycle has completed. This will take approximately
5-7 seconds.
The IP Installer will now show a MAC address for the DCS-5300W and an IP
address. This IP address may not be correct at this step in the installation.
The opening IP Installer screen will
appear and show a MAC address of
the DCS-5300W and an IP Address
(which may or may not be correct
depending on what you have your
DCS-5300W connected to.) If you
have a DHCP* server on your network,
there will be a valid IP Address
displayed here.
*A DHCP server is a device that
supplies IP Addresses to its clients
that are on the same network.

Software Installation (continued)
You have now completed the Setup Wizard and are ready to use your
camera! You can also continue to the section titled “Installing IP surveil-
lance Software” to install the IP surveillance software before you begin
to use the DCS-5300W.
After you click on the Link
button, IP Installer will
automatically open your
Internet browser to the IP
Address of the DCS-
5300W. In this example,
it is: http://192.168.0.146.
Your DCS-5300W may
have a different IP Ad-
dress.

13
Enabling UPnP for Windows XP/ME
UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture
that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and
peripherals. The DCS-5300W is a UPnP enabled internet camera. If your
operating system is UPnP enabled, the device will be easier to configure. If you
do not want to use the UPnP functionality, it can be disabled by unselecting
“Enabled” on the DDNS/UPnP settings page under “Advanced” in the
configuration menu. Use the following steps to enable UPnP (Universal Plug
and Play) settings only if you are running Windows XP/ME. If you are running
Windows 98/2000, UPnP is not available by industry standards.
