This D-Link Day and Night DCS-933L wireless surveillance camera features an IR LED that enables night vision up to 15' for clear viewing in dim lighting. The built-in Wi-Fi extender expands your wireless network and helps prevent dead spots.
Q: How is this camera powered? battery? and can i rotate it remotely
A: No Batteries; It requires household AC-line power; it has a small block transformer that plugs into a regular outlet, and has about a 6-ft long connection to the terminal power connector that plugs into the camera; much like a portable radio might have. Also, this model has no pan/tilt/zoom capability; it sees what it sees, based on where you place it - the only way to change the view is to just physically move the camera (with your human-hands).

Q: Can you see at night thru a window with this camera?
A: Yes, it will see through a window at night; however the image tends to be degraded by reflections bouncing off the inside of the window. I have mine set up to shoot through a window; the window-blinds are behind (more 'inside') the camera; but at night, the inside lights cause the image of the blinds to be reflected off the inside-face of the window, and back into the camera lens, making the image somewhat noisy. Clean the window real well; and the more 'straight-on' (90 degrees/right-angle) you can point the camera at the window, the better. The more slanted it is, the more reflection you will get.
Q: Will the camera work in cold conditions like 5 - 20 degrees F
A: Yes. Have had one outside all winter though this model is not intended for outside.
A: Yes, you would need an Internet browser that can run Java and/or the MyDLink Lite app on your smart phone. Note, however, there are limitations on what you can "control," remotely. Since the product does not have tilt/pan functionality your image is static. That said, with the 1150 you can turn sound on/off, take a picture, switch between day/night/auto mode, turn sound detection on/off, turn motion detection on/off, and turn extender mode on/off.
Q: Can you add this to your computer
A: Yes, dlink has a program on their web site that allows you to record as well as view. You can also view thru an internet browser.
