D-Link Securicam DCS-2120 IP Camera

 

If you're desperate to keep an eye on your property via your mobile phone, D-Link has the answer.

Installation is handled nicely as the bundled utility searches the network for D-Link IP cameras and displays them ready for action. You can assign an administrative password, set an IP address and modify the wireless settings and after applying the...

D-Link Securicam DCS 2120

 

Ever wanted to feel like James Bond without the daily visits to the gym, eating healthy food and being chased by people who want to kill you? Well now you can, thanks to this little wireless camera that lets you monitor a location no matter where you....

Price, size, weight, ease of setup, supplied software, 3G mobile phone support

Struggles in really low light situations

Cost effective, flexible and makes you feel like James Bond. What more could you ask for in a spy camera?

D-Link DCS-5300g

 

With wireless networks becoming increasingly common in the modern home, it's not surprising that manufacturers are exploiting the situation with an array of toys and gizmos to plug in. D-Link has seen this gap in the market and produced the DCS-5300g -...

versatile, compact and easy to use (once set up), sound quality, accessible from anywhere.

build quality, complex set-up instructions, picture quality not amazing, price, knowledge of networking an advantage

A major concern we have with this camera has to be what can be achieved when this sort of equipment falls into, shall we say, less salubrious hands. Here is a unit that can be placed anywhere within a wireless network range, is remotely controlled and...

D-Link DCS-2120 review

 

D-Link's DCS-2120 gained four stars in Labs, Shopper 233, however, the market's moved on, and not much sets this 640x480 camera with audio and RTSP apart from the crowd.

This brand-new D-Link package is a standout. The camera has a high-quality image, smooth pan and tilt movements, and a speedy 802.11g connection for video streaming at up to 30 frames per second. Using the DCS-5300G with a wired connection to a router...

D-Link SecuriCam DCS-5300G

 

D-Link's DCS-5300G is no real match for a dedicated wired and monitored solution, but it's also nowhere near as expensive.

Can connect to a network of up to 16 cameras. Smooth wireless performance. Motorised panning and tilting. Physically intimidating.

Defaults to Internet Explorer. Probably the first thing that thieves will smash or steal.

D-Link DCS-2120 Wireless Internet Camera with 3G Mobile Video Support

 

Amazingly good image quality in low light conditions

Can't make it provide HTTP video, so can't view images at work behind company firewall!

D-Link DCS-2120 Wireless Internet Camera with 3G Mobile Video Support

 

Brilliant product. It has more features than I will ever need! The clever features take a bit of concentration to set up, but the basic webcam features take seconds. I have two of these and they are stable for months at a time without needing to reboot...
