Mount the Camera
Please refer to the steps below to assist you with mounting the camera.
We suggest that you congure the camera before mounting.
2. Place the camera base where you want to position
the camera and use a pencil to mark the holes. Make
sure that the cable channel on the camera base is
facing in the direction you want.
3. Depending on the material of the wall or ceiling, use
proper tools to drill two holes 25mm deep with a
6mm drill bit where you marked. If the wall is made
out of concrete, drill the holes first, then insert the
plastic anchors to support the screws.
4. Pull the power cable through the middle of the
camera base and through the cable channel as
shown.
1. Hold the base of the camera with one hand placing
your thumb on the tab, then press down on the
release buttons with your other hand and pull the
camera from the camera base.
5. Place the camera base over the holes that are in
the wall and use the supplied screws to attach the
camera base to the surface of the wall. Plug in the
microUSB power cable to the camera.
6. Attach the camera to the camera base and pull the
power cable to remove the extra cable. Adjust the
angle of the camera as desired.

1. What is a mydlink No.? What is it used for?
Each camera has a unique eight-digit mydlink No. which will be shown on
the label on the back of your camera. This eight-digit number identies
your device, and is required to add your device to your mydlink account.
2. What can I do if my DCS-936L is not working correctly?
• Reset the camera (see next step) and run the setup steps starting
on page 4 again.
• To make sure your hardware is installed correctly, make sure that:
- the power LED is green
- your Internet connection is working
- your router’s LAN & WAN connections are working
- your router supports UPnP®
- your camera is on the same network as your mobile device
- both your mobile device and camera have a working Internet connection
• If your camera is still not working, check your router and make sure it
has the latest rmware.
3. What can I do if I forget my password?
FAQs
If you forget your password, you must reset the
camera. Unfortunately, this process will change
your settings back to factory default. To reset the
camera, locate the reset button on the back of
the camera. With the camera powered on, use an
unfolded paper clip to hold the button down for
10 seconds. Run the setup procedure located on
page 4 once the camera restarts.
4. Why is there a white haze when viewing in night vision mode?
When viewing in night vision mode, the IR lights on the camera may be
reecting o a nearby surface. Try repositioning the camera in order to
avoid glare from IR LEDs.
