The DCS-2100+ differs from a conventional PC Camera because it is a standalone system with a built-in CPU and Web server, providing a low-cost solution capable of solving demanding security and home/office monitoring needs. The Internet Camera can be accessed remotely, and controlled, from any PC or notebook computer over the Internet from anywhere in the world. Simple installation procedures, along with the built-in Web-based interface offers easy integration to your network environments. Features and Benefits The D-Link SECURICAM Network TM DCS-2100+ Wireless Internet Camera is a standalone system requiring no additional hardware or software. All that is required is a computer with the Internet Explorer Web browser (version 6.x or above). Just plug in the camera and view the picture from your Internet Camera with a valid IP Address. Broad Range of Applications With today's high-speed Internet, the Internet Camera provides the ideal solution for live video images over the Intranet and Internet for remote monitoring. The DCS-2100+ allows remote access from an Internet Explorer Web browser for live image viewing and allows the administrator to manage and control the Internet Camera anywhere and any time. Apply the Internet Camera to monitor various objects and places such as homes, offices, banks, hospitals, childcare centers, amusement parks and other varieties of industrial and public monitoring. The Internet Camera can also be used for intruder detection with its motion-detection mode, capture still images and video images for archiving and many more applications. The wireless capability means you can place the camera where it is inconvenient to install network cables. Supports a Variety of Protocols Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other Internet related protocols, the DCS-2100+ Internet Camera can be integrated easily into other Internet/Intranet applications because of its standards-based features. *Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11b specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead lower actual data throughput rate. 4 Features & Benefits (continued) Web Configuration Using the Internet Explorer Web browser, administrators can configure and manage the Internet Camera directly from its own Web page via the Intranet or the Internet. Up to 20 user names and passwords are permitted, with privilege settings controlled by the administrator. Powerful Surveillance and Remote Monitoring Utility The powerful IP surveillance software application assigns an administrator with a pre-defined user ID and password who can modify the Internet Camera settings from a remote site via an Intranet or the Internet. Administrators are allowed to monitor the image, record the image to a hard drive, and take snapshots. Connection to External Devices Supporting auxiliary Input/Output connectors, you can connect the Internet Camera to a variety of external devices such as IR-sensors, switches and alarm relays. Combined with programmable alarming facilities, you can develop a variety of security applications that are triggered on alarm-based events. The Internet Camera provides an industry standard in/out external connector for connectivity.

These are screwed onto the antenna connectors on the back panel to provide a connection with a wireless network. Ethernet Cable Connector The Internet Camera's back panel features an RJ-45 connector for connections to 10Base-T Ethernet cabling or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling. This network port supports the NWay protocol, allowing the Internet Camera to automatically detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network. The Ethernet cable included with the DCS-2100+ Internet Camera is a Category 5 "straight through" cable. This is the recommended cable type when the camera is physically connected to a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network hub or switch. Reset Button Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed once and held until the Power LED flashes through its cycle twice. A Factory reset is initiated when the reset button is pressed continuously for 5 seconds or when the Power LED changes from green to red for 2 cycles. (For example you will see the LED turn to red twice, release the reset button when the LED turns red the second time). The Power LED will begin to flash indicating that the Internet Camera's settings are reverting back to the factory settings, then turn back to green. 6 Connections (continued) DC Power Connector The DC power input connector is located on the DCS-2100+ Internet Camera's back panel and is labeled 12VDC with a single socket to supply power to the Internet Camera. I/O Connector The DCS-2100+ provides a terminal block with two pairs of connectors situated on the back panel. One pair is for input and the other is for output. The I/O connectors provide the physical interface to send and receive digital signals to a variety of external alarm devices. Please refer to the Appendix (page 124) in this manual for detailed information. Bottom Panel Socket for stand Attachment socket for the Camera Stand Located on the bottom panel of the Internet Camera, the socket is used to connect the camera stand to the Internet Camera by attaching the screw head on the camera stand to the Internet Camera. Power LED LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode. The Power LED is positioned to the right of the Internet Camera lens. As soon as the power adapter is connected to the Internet camera the power LED will flash red and green several times, the DCS-2100+ is conducting a self-test. Upon passing the self-test the LED will turn green to indicate a good connection to an Ethernet port or red to indicate no connection has been made. 7 Hardware Installation Connect to a Network If you are connecting the DCS-2100+ to a wired Ethernet network, connect an Ethernet cable to the network cable connector located on the Internet Camera's back panel and attach it to the network. If you are connecting the DCS-2100+ to a 802.11b wireless Ethernet network, attach the two wireless antennas to the antenna connectors on the back panel of the DCS-2100+. Attach the external power supply Attach the external power supply to the DC power input connector located on the Internet Camera's back panel (labeled 12VDC) and connect it to your wall outlet. When you have a proper connection, the LED will turn from red to green. The light may cycle on and off and your computer may show an intermittent loss of connectivity, this is normal until you have configured your Internet Camera. Attaching the Internet Camera to the Camera Stand The Internet Camera comes with a camera stand with a swivel ball screw head that can be attached to the Internet Camera bottom socket cavity. Attach the camera stand to the Internet Camera and station it for your application. There are holes located in the base of the camera stand allowing the Internet Camera to be mounted to the ceiling, or any wall securely. 8 Installation Wizard After you have successfully completed the hardware installation of the DCS-2100+ Internet Camera, it is necessary to install software to configure and operate the camera.
