Introduction

Motorized Pan and Tilt Operation

The DCS-5300 has a pan and tilt function that can expand your viewing area to

cover a wide 270oangle side-to-side and a 90o angle up and down. This can be

controlled with a PC from any location or locally using the included infrared

remote control.

The D-Link SecuriCam DCS-5300 Internet Camera is a full featured surveillance

system that connects to an Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or broadband Internet

connection to provide remote high-quality video and audio. The DCS-5300 is

the latest product added to the D-Link internet camera line. The camera features

a motorized pan and tilt function found on more expensive cameras. This

function allows the viewing area of the camera to extend 270oside-to-side and

90oup and down. The DCS-5300 gives you the ability to monitor your home/

office when you can not be there. Place the camera anywhere you would like to

monitor with no PC required on location!

Features and Benefits

The D-Link SecuriCam DCS-5300 Internet Camera is connected through an

Ethernet connection and a power source. You only need one PC to initially

configure multiple cameras for all locations. Each camera has a built in web

server with a configurable IP address.

Suports a Variety of Platforms

In addition , the DCS-5300 supports a variety of platforms including FTP, SMTP,

NTP, and HTTP. The camera also supports UPnP and DDNS. DDNS allows

the camera to use an easier to remember naming format rather than an IP

address. UPnP will allow users of Windows XP and ME to install the camera

with the click of a mouse.

CCD Sensor

The DCS-5300 comes standard with a high quality CCD sensor that is superior

to a CMOS type sensor. The fixed focus glass lens will facilitate the use of the

DCS-5300 providing crystal clear and sharp images. You can view up to 30

frames per second of live motion video with 380 lines resolution.

Features & Benefits (continued)

A/V Output

The SecuriCam DCS-5300 comes with an A/V output allowing you to connect

to your TV for local viewing. The DCS-5300 can also be connected to your

VCR to record activities directly to a VHS tape.

Surveillance Software

The surveillance software allows you to view up to 16 cameras simultaneously.

This software also allows controls to all 16 cameras by linking each one to its

own web page. Images can be monitored and recorded to a hard drive.

Internal/External Microphone

The SecuriCam DCS-5300 allows you to monitor video as well as audio through

the web browser. You have the option of using the DCS-5300’s integrated

microphone or your own external microphone using the connection located at

the rear of the unit.

Connections

Ethernet Cable Connector

The DCS-5300 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.

DC Power Connector

The DC power input connector is located on the DCS-5300 Internet Camera’s

back panel and is labeled DC 12V with a single socket to supply power to the

Internet Camera.

The Ethernet cable included with the DCS-5300 Internet

Camera is a Category 5 “straight through” cable. This is

the recommended cable type when the camera is

connected to a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network hub or

switch.

the camera stand to the Internet Camera by attaching the screw head on the

camera stand to the Internet Camera.

Bottom Panel

Power LED

LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode.

The Power LED is positioned on the right side 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-5300 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.

Attachment socket for the Camera Stand

The DCS-5300 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 th sical interface to send and receive digital signals to a

variety of external alarm devices. Please refer to the appendix in this manual

for detailed information.

and connect the other end to your wall outlet.

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.

Attaching the Internet Camera to the Camera Stand

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.

Software Installation

After you have successfully completed the hardware installation of the

DCS-5300 Internet Camera, it is necessary to install software to configure and

operate the camera. The first step is to run the IP Installer program on the CD.

IP Installer allows you to use the Internet Camera with your Internet browser.

With the IP Installer program you can enter settings that permit the camera to

access the Internet directly or through your Ethernet network.

After the IP Installer software program is completed, you will have an operating

and controllable Internet Camera. From your Internet Explorer Web browser

you will be able to access the video and sound from the Internet camera. The

camera has a built-in Web server. This Web server will allow the camera to

access the Internet without being attached to a computer and permits users to

view the video and audio remotely.

After running the IP Installer, you will be able to operate the DCS-5300 and

view the camera remotely through Internet Explorer 5.x and above.

However it is necessary to install the IP surveillance software from the enclosed

CD to create a truly powerful monitoring and surveillance system. The following

section will show in detail the installation of the IP Installer and the IP

surveillance software.

Installing the IP Installer program

Insert the CD that is included with the DCS-5300 Internet Camera. The

DCS-5300 installation menu will start up automatically from the CD. If the CD

does not startup automatically (the Windows operating system may turn this

function off), access the CD from Windows and click on the autorun.exe program

to access the installation menu shown below:
