where in the world! Simple installation procedures, along with the built-in Web-based interface offers easy integration
to your network environments.
Customers also have the ability to view live video streams from a compatible 3G cell phone. The live camera feed of
the D-Link Wireless PTZ Network Camera can be pulled from the 3G cellular network by using a compatible cell phone
with a 3G video player3. From anywhere within the 3G service area, both consumers and small businesses are offered
a exible and convenient way to remotely monitor a home or ofce in real time.
Note: Use of audio or video equipment for recording the image or voice of a person without their knowledge and consent
is prohibited in certain states or jurisdictions. Nothing herein represents a warranty or representation that the D-Link
product provided herein is suitable for the end-user’s intended use under the applicable laws of his or her state. D-Link
disclaims any liability whatsoever for any end-user use of the D-Link product, which fails to comply with applicable
state, local, or federal laws.
1 Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11b/g specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors
lower actual data throughput rate.
2 4x digital zoom enlarges an image by magnifying the pixels in a selected portion of the image by 4 times.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link Wireless PTZ Network Camera lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually
anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, 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 D-Link adapter and other network devices to a
minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) 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 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 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 computers so that 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 away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that
generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and
home security systems), 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 in not in use.

Section 3 - Configuration
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a networking architecture that provides
compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. The
DCS-5220 is an UPnP enabled Network Camera. If your operating system is
UPnP enabled, the device will be easier to congure. If you do not want to use
the UPnP functionality, it can be disabled by unchecking the Enabled UPnP
checkbox in the Advanced > Network page (see page 32). Use the following
steps to enable UPnP settings only if you are running Windows®XP or above. If
you are running Windows®98/2000, UPnP is not available.
Go to Start > Settings. Click Control Panel.
