Section 1: Product Overview
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the DCS-2230L Full HD Wireless Day/Night Network Camera. The DCS-2230L is a versatile
surveillance solution for your small oce or home. The full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution 2 megapixel progressive scan CMOS
sensor lets you capture details like never before – especially important for face recognition. A built-in IR-cut lter and IR LED
makes sure you don't miss an event no matter how bright or dark your surroundings are. To make things convenient, support
for Wireless N means you can easily connect it to your network when setting up your camera on location.
Unlike a standard webcam, the DCS-2230L is a complete system with a built-in CPU and web server that transmits high quality
video images for security and surveillance. The DCS-2230L can be accessed remotely, and controlled from any PC over your
local network or through the Internet via a web browser. It also comes with the D-Link D-ViewCam™ software bundle that
allows you to manage multiple network cameras using remote monitoring, scheduling, recording, motion detection, and
notications for a complete and cost-eective home security solution.
