Please read all of the safety and operating instructions before using device:
• Do not open the device or attempt to repair it.
• Do not submerge the device in liquid or attempt to clean it with liquids or solvents. To clean the device,
disconnect it from the power outlet and use a damp towel to gently wipe it down.
Before youBegin
Plan the location of your camera:
• Verify that your camera is electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
• Connect the camera's power adapter into electrical outlets that are not controlled by a wall switch. This
will help you to avoid accidentally turning off power to the device.
• Be sure to plug the device into a properly grounded electrical outlet in order to help prevent against
electrical shock.
• Make sure that the device is firmly mounted and won't fall off.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The DCS-8515LH HD Pan & Tilt Wi-Fi Camera lets you view video footage from virtually anywhere within the
operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind that 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. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the camera and wireless access point to a minimum - each
wall or ceiling can reduce your camera’s range from 1 to 30 meters (3 to 90 feet). Position your devices so
that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 0.5 meters (1.5 feet) thick, at a 45-
degree angle appears to be almost 1 meter (3 feet) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 14 meters (42
feet) thick! Position 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 difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on
range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and cameras so that the signal passes through drywall
or open doorways.
4. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file
cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
5. Keep your product away at least 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet) from electrical devices or appliances that generate
RF noise.
