D-Link Full HD Ultra-Wide View Wi-Fi Camera DCS-2630L
Keeping tabs on our household is pretty easy with today’s do-it-yourself products. With the D-Link Full HD 180-Degree Wi-Fi DCS-2630L security camera, you place it inside your business or home and you'll have wall-to-wall security that you'll be able to monitor from your mobile device.
Right out of the box the D-Link DCS-2630L 180 degree Wi-Fi security camera feels solid. Other Wi-Fi cameras on the market only offer a 130 degree (or less) field-of-view while the new D-Link DCS-2630L provides wall-to-wall surveillance from just one device. This is ideal for areas with several entry points and large rooms. Utilizing its distinctive de-warping technology, the Wide Eye 180 degree lens can take a “fish eye” viewpoint and convert it into a much more viewable video stream with less distortion. It also offers built-in night vision that provides up to 16 feet of view capability in total darkness.
The D-Link DCS-2630L unit is manually adjustable. You can twist the front of the camera 360 degrees, making it easy to keep it at eye level while mounting it anywhere you want in your home. On the sides of the camera are the WPS button, Micro USB power outlet, the power LED, a reset button and a microSD card slot that you can use for local recording.
This Full HD 1080p camera gave us vibrant details and clear image quality. A feature we often used was the camera's motion and sound detection ability. This meant we were able to receive alerts on our mobile device if there's suddenly a loud noise in our office or when movement was detected.
