Q: Can the camera connect to my home internet wirelessly or MUST it be plugged into a router?

A: To set it up, you need to plug it into the router you will be using. Then, after set-up, you can move it anywhere within wifi range.

Q: Does the camera have a microphone? Can you hear audio live or recorded?

A: the camera has one way audio. you can hear what is in room with camera

Q: Monthly Service Charges

A: No. There is no monthly charge to use the camera. You can use the mydlink website and set up your camera with a user friendly interface. However if you set it up using its IP address directly on your network, its a bit more technical but there are many more options. Either way its free.

Q: Can I view the camera from anywhere?

A: It works from outside even on LTE.

Q: Can you only see a live feed from the camera or does it have the option of storing surveillance?

A: This camera also includes the D-ViewCam software, which adds enhanced features and functionality that helps you create a full surveillance system for up to 32 cameras. With D-ViewCam, you can view multiple cameras at the same time, record video, and set up scheduled and triggered recordings.

Q: Computer monitoring

A: According to the User Manual, downloadable from DLink.com, this camera can be monitored from a PC or Mac computer. Software installation is required. I hope this helps.

Q: Charge for video recording?

A: Thank you for your questions. Please note that you may download our D-ViewCam application, and with that application you can view multiple cameras at the same time, record video, and set up scheduled and triggered recordings and there is no service contract associated with the use of this application at all or you may choose to configure your camera to send snapshots and video clips to an FTP server of your choosing. Thank you for choosing D-Link.

Q: How many hours of footage can be recorded on one camera?

A: if you install the DVR software on a computer that is hooked up to the same Wi-Fi network the amount of time you can record is only limited by the size of the Drive you are recording to on your computer. I have 250 gig set aside for my four cameras and I can get about 5 days out of that amount of space recording 24/7. The software allows you to set a limit on how much space it uses so once it hits your threshold it starts overwriting the oldest video.

love this camera works great
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

Piece of mind while on vacation
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 good
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.
