There are three ways to set up your camera:
- Zero Configuration Setup: If you have a mydlink-enabled router, this is the easiest way to set up your camera. Refer to page 11.
- Camera Setup Wizard: If you do not have a mydlink-enabled router, use the Camera Installation Wizard to guide you through setup and initial configuration of your camera. Refer to page 14.
- Manual Hardware Installation: This section shows you how to manually set up your camera, though in order to use the mydlink features of your camera, you will still need to run the Camera Installation Wizard. Refer to page 16.
Zero Configuration Setup
If you have a mydlink-enabled Cloud Router, you can take advantage of Zero Configuration. Zero Configuration automatically configures your camera's settings for you, and adds it to your mydlink account automatically. This type of setup allows you to set up your camera by simply plugging it in and connecting it to your router.
Connect your camera to your mydlink-enabled Cloud Router and Zero Configuration will automatically configure your DCS-5222L and automatically add the camera to your mydlink account. After the short time it takes to do this you can remotely access your camera from the www.mydlink.com website to manage and monitor your DCS-5222L.
Connect the Ethernet Cable
Use the included Ethernet cable and plug it into the camera. Plug the other end into an available port on your router. If you wish to use your camera wirelessly, you will be able to remove the cable after Zero Configuration Setup is complete.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link Wireless Network Camera lets you access your network using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
- Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between your adapter and other network devices (such as your network camera) - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter's range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).
- Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle, it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position your devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
- Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may weaken the wireless signal. Try to position your access points, wireless routers, and other networking devices where the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
- Keep your product at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
- If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.
WPS - Push Button Setup
You may create a connection to the camera using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature.
To create a WPS connection:
Step 1
Press and hold the WPS button for three seconds. The blue WPS status LED above the button will blink.
Step 2
Press the WPS button on your router or access point within 120 seconds. The WPS button is usually on the front or side of your router. On some routers and access points, you may need to log in to the web interface and click on an on-screen button to activate the WPS feature. If you are not sure where the WPS button is on your router/AP, please refer to your router or AP's user manual.
The DCS-5222L will automatically create a wireless connection to your router or access point. While connecting, the green LED will flash and your camera will reboot.

Configuring the DCS-5222L with a Router
D-Link's DCS-5222L is a versatile and cost effective network camera offering both video and audio monitoring. It can also serve as a powerful surveillance system in security applications. The DCS-5222L can be used with any wired or 802.11n/g wireless router. This section explains how to view the camera from either the Internet or from inside your internal network. This step is only needed if you do not wish to take advantage of the built in mydlink functions.
Components Needed:
• 1 DCS-5222L Network Camera
• 1 Ethernet Cable
- A wired or wireless router such as the D-Link DIR-655 Wireless Router
- Ethernet-based PC for system configuration
Setting up the DCS-5222L for Use Behind a Router
Installing a DCS-5222L Network Camera on your network is an easy 4-step procedure:
- Assign a local IP address to your network camera.
- View the network camera using your Internet Explorer web browser.
- Access the router with your web browser.
- Open virtual server ports to enable remote image viewing.
Note: These are manual steps; however, if you decide to use the wizard, it will perform every step automatically.
This section is designed to walk you through the setup process for installing your camera behind a router and enable remote video viewing. For the basic setup of the DCS-5222L, follow the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide.
After you have completed the setup of the DCS-5222L outlined in the Quick Installation Guide you will have an operating camera that has an assigned IP Address. Because you are using a router to share the Internet with one or more PCs, the IP Address assigned to the network camera will be a local IP Address. This allows viewing within your Local Area Network (LAN) until the router is configured to allow remote viewing of the camera over the Internet.
1. Assign a Local IP Address to Your Camera
Run the setup wizard from the CD included with the DCS-5222L. Follow the steps in the Quick Installation Guide to configure the DCS-5222L. The camera will be assigned a local IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router. Write down this IP Address for future reference.
2. View the network camera Using Your Internet Explorer Web Browser
Open a Web browser. In the address bar, type in the IP Address that was assigned to the network camera. The DCS-5222L Live Video Page appears with a window displaying live video from the camera.
Click on the Setup button on the top menu bar. Select Network Setup from the left menu and scroll down the Network Setup page to find the ports used by HTTP and Streaming audio and video.

The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The D-Link DIR-655 is used as an example to clarify the configuration process. Refer to the router's user manual for more information on router operation and configuration.
3. Access the Router with Your Web Browser
If you have cable or DSL Internet service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP Address. 'Dynamic' means that your router's WAN IP address can change from time to time depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identifies your router on the public network and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your router's WAN IP Address is, go to the Status page on your router and locate the WAN information for your router (as shown on the next page). The WAN IP Address will be listed. This will be the address that you will need to type in your web browser to view your camera over the Internet.
Your WAN IP Address will be listed on the router's Status > Device Info page.

Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use to access your camera from a remote location. The Static IP Address will also allow you to access your camera attached to your router over the Internet.
4. Open Ports to Enable Remote Image Viewing (Port Forwarding)
The firewall security features built into the DIR-655 router prevent users from accessing the video from the DCS-5222L over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the DCS-5222L are blocked from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the DIR-655 router. The Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by clicking on the Advanced tab of the router screen.
Follow these steps to configure your router's Virtual Server settings:
- Click Enabled.
- Enter a different name for each entry.
- Enter your camera's local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.120) in the Private IP field.
- Select TCP for HTTP port, both (TCP and UDP) for RTSP and both (TCP and UDP) for 5556 - 5559 ports.
- If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and Private Port section, click Apply.
- Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.
Section 5 - Security
Repeat the previous steps adding the port 554 to both the Public and Private Port sections. A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled.
Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80 and other commonly used Internet ports to conserve bandwidth. Check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to something else, such as 8080. Not all routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specific instructions on how to open ports.
Enter valid ports in the Virtual Server section of your router. Please make sure to check the box next to the camera name on the Virtual Server List to enable your settings.

This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DCS-5222L. Read the following descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows Vista® and XP. If you have a different operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.)
1. What can I do if I forget my password?
If you forget your password, you will need to perform a hard reset of your camera. This process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults.
To reset your camera, please use an unfolded paperclip to press and hold the RESET button for at least 10 seconds while your camera is plugged in.
2. Why does the LED not light up?
The power supply might be faulty. Confirm that you are using the provided DC 5V power supply for this network camera. Verify that the power supply is correctly connected. If the camera is functioning normally, the LED may have been disabled. See "Admin" on page 61 for information about how to enable the LED.
3. Why is the camera's network connection unreliable?
There might be a problem with the network cable. To confirm that the cables are working, PING the address of a known device on the network. If the cabling is OK and your network is reachable, you should receive a reply.
Another possible problem may be that the network device such as a hub or switch utilized by the network camera is not functioning properly. Please confirm the power for the devices are well connected and functioning properly.
4. Why does the network camera work locally but not remotely?
This might be caused by a routers firewall protection. Check the Internet firewall with your system administrator. The firewall may need to have some settings changed in order for the network camera to be accessible outside your local LAN. For more information, please refer to the section about installing your camera behind a router.
Make sure that the network camera isn't conflicting with any Web server you may have running on your network.
The default router setting might be a possible reason. Check that the configuration of the router settings allow the network camera to be accessed outside your local LAN.
5. Why does a series of broad vertical white lines appear through out the image?
It could be that the CMOS sensor (a square panel situated behind the lens that measures the light signals and changes it into a digital format so your computer can present it into an image that you are familiar with) has become overloaded when it has been exposed to bright lights such as direct exposure to sunlight or halogen lights. Reposition the network camera into a more shaded area immediately as prolonged exposure to bright lights will damage the CMOS sensor.
6. The camera is producing noisy images. How can I solve the problem?
The video images might be noisy if the network camera is used in a very low light environments.
7. The images are poor quality, how can I improve the image quality?
Make sure that your computer's display properties are set to at least 6-bit color. Using 16 or 256 colors on your computer will produce dithering artifacts in the image, making the image look as if it is of poor quality.
The configuration on the network camera image display is incorrect. The Web Configuration Video section of the Web management allows you to adjust the related-parameters for improved images such as: brightness, contrast, hue and light frequency. Please refer to the Web Configuration section for detailed information.
8. Why are no images available through the Web browser?
ActiveX might be disabled. If you are viewing the images from Internet Explorer make sure ActiveX has been enabled in the Internet Options menu. You may also need to change the security settings on your browser to allow the ActiveX plug-in to be installed.
If you are using Internet Explorer with a version number lower than 6, then you will need to upgrade your Web browser software in order to view the streaming video transmitted by the network camera.

9. The PIR is not operating well, how can I improve the PIR quality?
- For the Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) to function properly it is required to have direct line of site to the object. When the room has many obstacles or the line of site is obstructed by glass, the PIR will not function properly.
- When the environment temperature is too high, the PIR detection will slow down and should not be mistaken for a faulty PIR.
- This network camera can only be installed indoors. Do not install this camera in a place where IR interference can be a problem. IR interference can be found close to glass doors or windows, where direct sunlight can cause interference or in the path of car headlights.
- Do not install this camera next to or in front of an air conditioner outlet or vent.
- Do not install this camera close to wireless devices with high frequencies as the PIR is easily affected by RF radiation.
- The PIR functions at best when detecting lateral movements. Radial movements cannot be detected as well as lateral movements.
- Do not install this camera directly under an extreme bright light. The PIR cannot fully suppress a bright white light.
- Any movements from an object with a normal body temperature, like humans or animals, can be detected. To avoid any malfunctions, install this camera at the proper height.
- To avoid any malfunctions, install this camera in an environment with an average temperature of 25^ C. Only within a distance of 2.5 meters can smaller movements of an object, with the average adult human's height, be detected. Between a distance of 2.5 and 5 meters, a larger movement of an object is required for detection.
- Install this camera on a firm, static, anti-shock surface.
Networking Basics
Check your IP address
By default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. (Windows® 7/Vista® users type cmd in the Start Search box)
At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter.
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software programs may block a DHCP request.
If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot (e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator to verify their wireless network settings.

Step 1
Windows® 7- Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
Windows® Vista - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections.
Windows XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
Step 2
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter and select Properties.
Step 3
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
Step 4
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN IP address on your router.
Example: If the router's LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway to the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).
Set Primary DNS to the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
Step 5
Click OK twice to save your settings.
