Section 1 - Product Overview
Simple to Use
The DCS-932 is a stand-alone system with a built-in CPU, requiring no special hardware or software such as PC frame grabber cards.
The DCS-932 supports both ActiveX mode for Internet Explorer and Java mode for other browsers such as Firefox®and Safari®.
Supports a Variety of Platforms
Supporting TCP/IP networking, HTTP, and other Internet related protocols. The DCS-932 can also be integrated easily into other
Internet/Intranet applications because of its standards-based features.
802.11n Wireless or Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Support
The DCS-932 offers wireless 802.11n and Ethernet/Fast Ethernet connectivity, making the DCS-932 easy to integrate into your existing
network environment. The DCS-932 works with a 10 Mbps Ethernet based network or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet based network for
traditional wired environments, and works with 802.11n routers or access points for added exibility. The Site Survey feature also allows
you to view and connect to any available wireless networks.
Web Conguration
Using a standard Web browser, administrators can congure and manage the Network Camera directly from its own Web page via
Intranet or Internet. This means you can access your DCS-932 anytime, anywhere in the world.
Broad Range of Applications
With today’s high-speed Internet services, the Network Camera can provide the ideal solution for delivering live video images over the
Intranet and Internet for remote monitoring. The Network Camera allows remote access using a Web browser for live image viewing,
and allows the administrator to manage and control the Network Camera anytime, anywhere in the world. Many applications exist,
including industrial and public monitoring of homes, ofces, banks, hospitals, child-care centers, and amusement parks.
IR LED for night mode
Day and night functionality. The built-in infrared LEDs enables night time viewing of up to 16 feet (5 meters).

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link Wireless Network Camera lets you access 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 difference. 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 2.4GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), 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.

Conguration
Using the Conguration Menu
After completing the Camera Installation Wizard, you are ready to use your camera. The camera’s built-in Web conguration utility is
designed to allow you to easily access and congure your DCS-932. At the end of the wizard, click Go To Camera, or enter the IP address
of your camera into a web browser, such as Internet Explorer®. To log in, use the User name admin and the password you created in the
Installation Wizard. If you did not create a password, the default password is blank. After entering your password, click OK.
Note: If you are directly connecting your PC to the camera, or if you are using the camera on a closed network, the default IP is 192.168.0.20.

You may congure your camera using
• DHCP Connection (by default), where your DHCP server will
automatically assign dynamic IP to your device.
• Static IP Address if your ISP has already assigned an IP address to
you.
• PPPoE connection, where your camera is directly connected to the
Internet through a DSL modem.
* Input the DNS information if you have chosen and assigned a Static IP
Address for your camera.

static IP address will ease you for accessing your camera in the
future.
IP Address: The xed IP address
Subnet Mask: The default value is “255.255.255.0.” Used to
determine if the destination is the same subnet.
Default Gateway: The gateway used to forward frames to
destinations in a different subnet. Invalid gateway settings may
cause the failure of transmissions to a different subnet.
Primary DNS: Primary domain name server that translates names to IP addresses.
Secondary DNS: Secondary domain name server to backup the Primary DNS.

this information from your Internet service provider (ISP).
You may congure a Second HTTP port that will allow you to connect to the camera via a standard web browser. The port can be
set to a number other than the default TCP ports 80. A corresponding port must be opened on the router. For example, if the port
is changed to 1010, users must type “http://192.168.0.100:1010” instead of only “http://192.168.0.100”.
Enable this setting to congure your camera as an UPnP device in the network.
