Product Highlights
Powerful Digital Surveillance
The D-Link DCS-6818 is a high-performance high speed dome network camera, ideal
for business IP surveillance applications. The DCS-6818 employs Sony ¼” EX-View CCD
technology to deliver exceptional picture quality. High-performance technology provides
real-time video compression in H.264/MPEG-4 and MJPEG formats.
Proportional Pan,Tilt, and Zoom Speeds
Adjusting the camera is painless since the pan and tilt speed is proportional to the optical
zoom ratio of the camera. When the camera zooms in, the panning speed is automatically
slowed to improve camera tracking and controllability. PTZ presets allow the camera to
monitor specied areas along predened paths.
Weatherproof for Outdoor Use
The DCS-6818 camera apparatus is housed in a weatherproof enclosure (IP66 standard). A
built-in heater and fan allows camera to operate in extreme environments at temperatures
ranging from -40°C to 50°C.
Mechanical IR Cut Filter for Day and Night Monitoring
The IR Cut Filter can be manually applied, or set to automatically adjust based on lighting
conditions. This feature enables the camera to capture crisp color images during the
daytime, and grayscale images in low-light.

DCS-6818 High Speed Dome Network Camera
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) Applications
The Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function of a camera provides clear images even
under backlit conditions where the intensity of illumination can vary signicantly.
The DCS-6818 is recommended for extreme high-contrast environments.
Robust Management Software
D-ViewCam is a software program that allows you to view up to 32 cameras on a
single computer screen from a central location. Motion detection and digital input
devices trigger automated e-mail alerts that can instantly inform administrators of
unusual activities.
Open NetworkVideo Interface Forum (ONVIF)
ONVIF is an open industry forum for the development of a global standard for
the interface of IP based physical security products. ONVIF identies a standard
for how IP products within video surveillance and other physical security areas
can communicate with each other ensuring interoperability between products
regardless of brand. The DCS-6818 is ONVIF compliant and therefore compatible
with many third party Video Management Software (VMS) solutions.
