The only reason I did not give it 5 was I had small problem with the setup but tech support was Great. Its great over all a great investment we got it to check on our dogs while we were gone. the app for my android based cell worked right off the bat for some reason the java link for D-link on the my (windows 8 laptop) works only from the desktop icon, but when had problems I called tech support we did a remote link & he got it up & going.They were very helpful! We when to Chicago for a wedding 5 hours away no problem. I did have a $35 certificate so my cost was $65 but even at the $99 price its worth it. It also has motion detection & sound. I do have wifi but I have it hooked up with ethernet to make sure we had a constant connection.It does color & night vision that works great our room is pretty dark so it shows up on auto as night vision but its still a great picture if we had NOT gotten Infared the we would'nt be to see as well so do consider that if you room is does'nt get alot of natural light you can change between the 2 settings or have it on auto which we do & you can change the DPI , take still shots from your phone or pc-laptop. I included 2 photos nightvison & Color.asyou can see the IR photo is really clear the color not so much, not enough light can can also adjust the the lighting & zoom. So I hope this helps

We bought this to keep an eye on our cats and apartment while we were on vacation. It has a nice sound and movement detector. The movement via the app is okay, there is a delay between sliding on the touch screen and the camera moving. But you can preset viewing locations to make the cam will go exactly to where you want, a lot easier. The sound quality was surprisingly good, as well as the night vision. We had no issues with this camera.

Works very good once you figure out how to set up the camera to get the most out of it. A call to D-Link helped out in the configuration. Love the sound and motion notifications along with the My Dlink lite app. The HD version of this camera did not have the sound notification support for the app and I took it back ( DCS-5222L). Stay with the 5020L if you want the app to work correctly. The 5020 is lower resolution but has the sound notification that works with the app. (This is the most important thing to me if you are using it for a baby monitor). The app gives you instant notifications for both sound and motion and the 5222L camera only had motion detection for the My Dlink lite app. Both cameras will send sound and motion reports to your email but I wanted to use the app for the instant push notifications. Overall the camera so far is very good at its intended job as a baby monitor. Also in the pic the camera is used upside down but you can go into the advanced settings in image setup and Flip Image and also select Mirror image to correct the upside down video.
