New D-Link Cloud Camera Helps Customers See More, Connect To More

Dubai, THE UAE — Today D-Link expanded its award-winning range of Cloud Cameras with the Wireless N H.264 Day/Night PT Network Camera (DCS-5020L). Packed with high-end features like pan and tilt, audio detection, and Wi-Fi repeater mode, the DCS-5020L is a powerful, competitively-priced way to keep an eye on loved ones and check on the house. The DCS-5020L comes with mydlink Cloud Services, so it works with mobile phones and tablets, and supports D-Link’s unique Zero Configuration technology, meaning the setup couldn’t be simpler.

“Every family deserves a way to connect with the most important things in life, even when they can’t be around. The DCS-5020L with pan and tilt covers more of the house, helping users see more of their children, elderly family members, even pets. It’s easy to use, and with D-Link’s Cloud Services for convenient viewing on a mobile device, the DCS-5020L offers the peace of mind that comes with knowing everything at home is fine,” said Harrison Albert, Regional Director at D-Link Middle East & Africa.

The DCS-5020L catches every detail, day or night. Hardware pan and tilt makes it possible to check every corner of a room, and the wide-angle lens captures an area up to 30% larger than previous models at a glance. In bright conditions, a filter on the DCS-5020L blocks infrared light for more realistic colors. When night mode is engaged, the camera’s enhanced system of LEDs lights up the scene with invisible infrared rays for detailed black-and-white video at distances of up to eight meters, even in the dark. With advanced audio detection capability that sends out image alerts triggered by sound, the DCS-5020L ensures that users never miss a thing.

Live video feeds can be viewed on an Internet-connected iPhone®, iPad®, or Android™ device with the free mydlink Lite mobile app, available on the App Store and Google Play. The app also enables users to control the pan-and-tilt function and save or email snapshots. Video can be recorded to a PC on the local network with the free D-ViewCam™ camera management software for Windows PCs. Footage is VGA (640x480) resolution, compressed with H.264 video compression technology to use eighty percent less bandwidth and store up to five times more data in the same amount of space compared with traditional MJPEG video.

The DCS-5020L is designed for easy, convenient setup and use. It connects to the home network by either Ethernet or 802.11n wireless, and also includes a wireless repeater mode that extends the Wi-Fi signal to every room, so mobile devices or additional IP cameras always enjoy the strongest possible Wi-Fi connection.
