D-Link DCS-8515LH 720p PTZ Camera with Night Vision

Product Information

Be careful with this setting. If you move the camera, the Active Area moves too, which may mean that you’re no longer monitoring parts of the image that are important. For example, you may no longer be covering a doorway. Again, it’s a good reason to have the auto home feature turned on. Supports microSDXC cards up to a maximum capacity of 256 GB. microSDXC card not included.

Motion and sound detection - Alerts you with a mobile or tablet notification and starts recording. Customise settings, and interact with other mydlink devices. Do it all with the mydlink app It’s simple to set up your camera with the mydlink™ app for your phone or tablet. Once set up, you can view and control your camera from anywhere with internet access. At night, the camera turns on its IR LEDs, which light up a room but soften the image, slightly blurring facial details. This is an issue that affects all IR cameras, however.

Subscription required for Cloud Recording. From July 1st, 2021, the FREE mydlink Cloud Recording is valid for 1 year from the subscription activation date and is limited to 3 Cameras. For all FREE plan users prior to September 30th 2021, your free subscription will expire on September 29th 2022.This photo also doesn’t take in height, even with the camera able to move 105° vertically. If you want to look up you have to touch the live-view image and swipe your finger on the screen. You can also move side to side with this feature, but it requires a lot of swiping.

You can set the camera to return to the home position automatically after 60 seconds of no activity, which we recommend doing; without this, you can leave the camera at an odd angle and miss important movement from the camera’s motion detection system. While the D-Link DCS-8515LH supports a wired Ethernet connection, it does not include a built-in HDD. This means that footage will need to be stored externally using a compatible device or cloud-based storage. However, the camera's IP capabilities enable convenient remote access and monitoring.

This means swapping the micro SD card is only possible when you turn off the camera, not during operations, or when you use the app to manually tilt the camera lens upwards.

I am getting the hang of it only because I use it regularly and knows where to navigate to. The whole carousel-like UI probably works better with a navigation pad, but not for touch interaction.
