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 Conguration

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 conguration of your
camera. Refer to "Mobile App Setup" on page 10.
Zero Conguration 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 Conguration 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.

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 dierence. 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 congure 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
