Management Options

To configure and manage your camera, it is recommended that you download the associated Setup Wizard and the D-ViewCam software suite, both of which are available from
the D-Link website.

Mounting the Camera

Note: It is highly recommended that you configure and test your camera before mounting it. If you plan on inserting a microSD card, it is also recommended to do this before mounting.

Place the alignment sticker where you want to position the camera. Make sure the camera base will be positioned so that the cable channel is on the bottom.
Use a 4 mm drill bit to make the required holes approximately 30 mm deep, then insert the wall anchors into the holes.
If you are running the camera cables through the wall, drill a hole in the center and pull the cables through the hole. If you are running the camera cables out the side of the camera, guide the camera cables through the cable channel on the base.
Use the screws provided to mount the camera to the wall.
Connect the power and Ethernet cables, or just the Ethernet cable if you are using a PoE connection.
To adjust the camera’s monitoring direction, use the Allen key to turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise to loosen it, then move the camera to the desired position and angle. When you are finished, turn the adjustment screw clockwise to tighten it.

Waterproofing Your Installation

A round Ethernet cable, a crimping tool, and RJ-45 plugs are required for this procedure.

Place the washer around the base of the Ethernet connector as shown.
Thread the bare Ethernet cable through the waterproof connector as shown.
Attach an RJ-45 plug to the end of the cable using a crimping tool.
Connect the RJ-45 plug into the Ethernet connector, then screw the waterproof connector to the Ethernet connector by turning it clockwise about one half-turn
Figure 16: Attaching the Waterproof Connector
Screw the back part of the waterproof connector clockwise until there is a tight seal around the Ethernet cable.
The power connector and reset button cables are not waterproof. It is recommended to use waterproof tape to protect them. Wind the tape around each cable in an overlapping manner to cover them.
