Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The DCS-3415 is an ideal network camera for 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.
Note: Use of video equipment for recording the image 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.

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 and
distorted, 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 camera feed of the 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 3GPP service area.
• Wired PoE Access - For effective surveillance in and 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 2000/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 name and domain to the camera (e.g.mycamera.dlinkddns.com). This allows users
to remotely access the camera without having to remember the IP address.
Features

7D-Link DCS-3415 User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
• Supported Protocols - DCS-3415 supports a wide variety of protocols such as RTSP, FTP, SMTP, NTP and HTTP. In
addition, supports UPnP and DDNS. DDNS allows your camera to be accessed using a static host name rather than
an IP address. UPnP allows Windows XP users to install the camera with a single mouse click.
• Web Configuration - Using a Web browser, administrators can configure and manage the network camera directly from
its own Web page via the Intranet or the Internet. Up to 20 user names and passwords are permitted, 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 delivery is 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 a direct connection
to a PC or any other hardware or software to capture and transfer images.
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.
