Introduction
The DCS-3415 is an ideal network camera for professional surveillance and security applications. This cameranetwork camera for professional surveillance and security applications. This camerafor professional surveillance and security applications. This camera
incorporates a Sony 18x zoom progressive scan CCD (Charge-coupled device) module, using D-Link’s SoC
(System-on-a-chip) integration to provide excellent real-time quality videos.Two video streams with different configurations
can be activated simultaneously to address different requirements for live viewing and recording.
The DCS-3415 is designed for both indoor/outdoor and day/night applications. Therefore, the zoom module has a
built-in removable IR-cut filter and auto iris features. In addition, the camera comes with an outer enclosure (optional)
which is vandal proof and weatherproof (IP66, heater and fan) for outdoors. The camera is equipped with one digital
input and output interface.The RS-485 port is designed for external pan/tilt/zoom devices. An 802.3af compliant Power
Over Ethernet (PoE) built-in module is used to ease the installation process.built-in module is used to ease the installation process.module is used to ease the installation process.

Section 1 - Product Overview
• Powerful Surveillance - DCS-3415 is designed to target high-end surveillance market. An 18x zoom
progressive scan CCD module can capture superb vivid images of moving objects that traditional interlaced
scanning techniques cannot achieve. DCS-3415 is ideally suited for both day and night applications.
It effectively reduces motion blur, distortion, and jagged edges of recorded images. With a removable
IR-cut filter, the Network Camera always provides high-quality color images throughout the day. An RS-485
port is designed for external pan/tilt/zoom devices. Supports DC12V output for external devices like IR
light. Use D-Link’s SoC (system-on-chip) products to provide high quality real-time video compression in
MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG formats. DCS-3415 supports simultaneous dual-streaming for live monitoring
and recording. With the free-bundled 32-channel recording software, the DCS-3415 is an ideal solution
for high quality viewing and reliable recording.
• Sharp Image Monitoring - DCS-3415 provides high quality real-time videos in MPEG-4 and JPEG
compression with VGA/QVGA/QQVGA resolution. It is also suitable for narrow space surveillance, like
for example an elevator.
• View Live Video from a 3G Mobile Phone - The live video feed of the network camera can be pulled from
the 3G cellular network by using a compatible cell phone or PDA with a 3G video player. Users are offered
a flexible and convenient way to remotely monitor a home or office in real time, anywhere within the 3GPPanywhere within the 3GPP
service area.
• Wired PoE Access - For effective surveillance in or around a building, this camera comes with a built-in
802.3af compliant Power Over Ethernet (PoE) module, which eases the installation process and also gives
you the freedom to place the camera where it’s needed. In addition, the 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet port
provides convenient connection to an Ethernet network or to a broadband Internet via a gateway router.
• Smart & Easy To Use - The software allows you to view up to 32 cameras on a single computer screen at
one central location. Users can set up automated e-mail alerts to be instantly informed of unusual activities.
In addition, this network camera supports the universal plug-n-play feature, which allows computers
running on Windows®XP/Vista to automatically recognize the camera and adds it to the network. Sign
up with one of the free Dynamic DNS services available on the web to assign a domain name to the
camera (e.g.mycamera.dlinkddns.com). This allows users to remotely access the camera without having
to remember the IP address.

Section 1 - Product Overview
• Supported Protocols - DCS-3415 supports a wide variety of protocols such as RTSP, FTP, SMTP, NTP
and HTTP. In addition, it supports UPnP™and DDNS.
• Web Configuration - Using a Web browser, administrators can configure and manage the network camera
directly from its own web page via your network or the Internet. Up to 20 user accounts can be created
with privilege settings controlled by the administrator.
• Connection to External Devices - Supporting auxiliary Input/Output connectors, you can connect the
Network Camera to a variety of external devices such as IR-sensors, switches and alarm relays. Combined
with programmable alarming equipment, you can develop a variety of security applications that are triggered
on alarm-based events. The Network Camera provides an industry standard in/out external connector for
connectivity.
• MPEG4 Multicast Stream Support – Unicast video is delivered through point-to-point transmission. On
the other hand, with a multicast stream, the server streams to a multicast IP address on the network, and
clients receive the stream by subscribing to the IP address. Because there is only one stream from the
server regardless of the number of clients receiving the stream, a multicast stream requires the same
amount of bandwidth as a single unicast stream containing the same content. Using a multicast stream
preserves network bandwidth.
• Samba Client Support – DCS-3415 has a built-in Samba client for NAS, and hence does not require aDCS-3415 has a built-in Samba client for NAS, and hence does not require aa built-in Samba client for NAS, and hence does not require a
direct connection to a PC or any other hardware or software to capture and transfer images.
