Introduction
The D-Link SecuriCam DCS-5300W Wireless Internet Camera is a powerful
surveillance system that connects wirelessly to your 802.11b network. The
DCS-5300W features enhanced 802.11b and connects wirelessly at up to 22
Mbps (Megabits per second). The DCS-5300W is the latest product added to
the D-Link internet camera line. The DCS-5300W can be used with any wired
or wireless router to connect to a wireless 802.11b Ethernet or Fast Ethernet
Network. 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-5300W 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-5300W Wireless 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.
Motorized Pan and Tilt Operation
The DCS-5300W 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 done with a PC from any location or locally using the included infrared
remote control.
Suports a Variety of Platforms
In addition , the DCS-5300W 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-5300W 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-5300W 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-5300W comes with an A/V output allowing you to connect
to yout TV for local viewing. The DCS-5300W can also be connected to your
VCR to record activities directly to a VHS tape.
Surveillance Software
The serveillance 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-5300W allows you to monitor video as well as audio
through the web browser. You have the option of using the DCS-5300W’s
integrated microphone or your own external microphone using the connection
located at the rear of the unit.

Connections
Antenna
Two antennas are included with the DCS-5300W. 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-5300W 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.

AV Out Connector
Microphone
The DCS-5300W Internet Camera’s has an internal microphone. However, you
have the option of using an external microphone by plugging it into the
microphone connector.
AV Out
Plug the included A/V cable into the A/V out connector to use the DCS-5300W
with a television or VCR.

DC Power Connector
The DC power input connector is located on the DCS-5300W 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-5300W 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 93)
in this manual for detailed information.
Connections (continued)
Located on the bottom panel of the Internet Camera, the socket is used to con-
nect 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-5300W 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.

Connections (continued)
Included with the DCS-5300W is an infrared remote control. You have the option
of controlling the camera via the Pan/Tilt Controls using the IP surveillance
software or via the infrared remote. To use the remote, make sure that IR Control
is enabled on the Camera Control page in the Configuration Menu under
Advanced. Please refer to the section titled “Using the DCS-5300W with
an Internet Browser” in this manual for more information.

Hardware Installation
Connect to an Ethernet Network
If you are connecting the DCS-5300W 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-5300W to a
802.11b wireless Ethernet network, attach
the two wireless antennas to the antenna
connectors on the back panel of the DCS-
5300W.
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.
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-5300W 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.
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 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-5300W Internet Camera. The
DCS-5300W 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), simply access the CD from Windows and click on the autorun.exe
program to access the installation menu shown below:
