Section 1 - Product Overview
Easy to Use and mydlink-Enabled for Easy Access and Management
The DCS-5025L is a standalone surveillance camera that requires no special hardware or software, and can operate independently,
even without a PC. This camera is also mydlink-enabled, which means you can view and manage your camera through the mydlink
website, or through the mydlink Home mobile app for iOS and Android mobile devices.
Pan/Tilt for Wide Viewing Area
Patrol a large area with one camera thanks to the DCS-5025L’s pan and tilt functions. You can use the web interface to manually adjust
the camera lens position, or set up to 24 pre-defined preset positions, enabling you to quickly move to frequently viewed points of
interest.
IR LEDs for Day and Night Functionality
The built-in infrared LEDs enable night time viewing of up to 5 meters (16.4 feet), giving you clear images regardless of lighting condi-
tions.
H.264 Codec for Smooth, Space-Efficient Video
This camera supports use of the H.264 video codec, which gives you high-quality video with reduced bandwidth requirements. This
means that you can enjoy smoother, more reliable video streaming over the Internet, and less disk space is required to save record-
ings.
Motion and Sound Triggered Notifications and Recordings
The DCS-5025L can send e-mail notifications with snapshots or video clips whenever motion or sound is detected. You can customize
areas of the video to monitor for motion to keep watch over specific areas of interest, and you can set volume thresholds to determine
the sound level required to trigger a sound notification.
