D-LINK DCS-5020L WIRELESS-N PAN/TILT NETWORK CAM (Renewed)

This was a pain for me to set up. I followed the directions, but still had a hard time getting it to work and it was really starting to make me mad. I finally got it to show up on my phone but when I went to check in the next day while at work, it wasn't working. This happened several times throughout the first several weeks of trying to use it. The app wouldn't always work and in the end it started sending me notifications that the camera was disconnected when I knew it wasn't. I finally just had to delete the app.The base of this is huge so it was hard to find a spot to sit it on. Trying to pan on the app was sort of annoying as it was very touchy and I couldn't always get it to the exact point I wanted. After a while I decided to send it back and look for something else.

....BUT--no matter what I do, I cannot get this camera to detect motion. It sends me images of bugs flying around in the middle of the night, but when my postal delivery driver brings packages to my porch, or people come to my porch in the middle of the day--NOTHING. I have the latest firmware and I have reset/setup the camera a couple times to make sure that I have the motion detection settings properly configured. I bought this for daytime motion detection and seeing images of large bugs flying around, although amusing, doesn't do much for security during the day.My only other issue is that the fixed focus seems to change on its own, even though I set it upon installation. I have to tweak it every few weeks to get the video feed looking better.This was purchased as a refurb and the price was amazing, but I think I may have gotten a dud, but it does work, minus the motion detection...I have made sure the firmware is the latest. FWIW: I have other Dlink cams on the same network that do work properly as far as the motion detection is concerned. I will just deal with it for the price I paid, but it would be great if it worked properly.

This is my second D-link WiFi camera, the other one doesn't pan or tilt but the setup process is the same, both work well once set up. The process of setting these D-link return cams up is a bit more complicated since you first have to find the correct setup program on the D-link website. Once it is installed on your computer it will guide you through the setup process, be patient with that since it takes some time for the setup steps to register with the camera. Once set up they work very well, decent resolution and pretty clear night vision. It's reassuring to be able to look around the inside of my house when travelling or when I receive an alarm notification from my alarm system.

I bought this refurbished and have no problems with it at all. The camera functions perfectly and came with all the hardware to mount it on a wall for the price I paid what can you complain about. Well I have one complaint I didn't read anywhere that the camera does not have the ability to save video on its own (no sd slot). I have to hit record on my phone or device and it records it to my phone. I do not like that so much but as a whole the camera is very good.

This is a great camera for the price, I had it set up in under 5 minutes. I use this camera so I can keep an eye on my cat while I'm out of town, you can control the camera on the app and look around the room. You can also set it up to email you video and/or images when it detects motion or sound. I have this running with my DCS 932LB1 which I use as an outdoor camera on my porch.

I purchased this refurbished camera from D-Link and it's satisfactory. Installation was pretty easy with help from D-Link phone support. Only tricky feature is change of camera position (via the cell phone app) which is slow and lacks precision....I was satisfied enough to buy a second of these but D-Link was no longer the supplier, so I ordered from a third party via Amazon. What I received was broken, used and shop worn instead of refurbished. Getting a refund required getting my credit card company involved!

I purchased this camera as a Refurnished item. Keep in mind I have a similar (DCS-5020L) that works just fine. I could not get this camera connected to my network after 20 attempts. I followed the instructions as prescribed with no luck. I'm not sure if the camera is defective or not, but had to return it anyway.

You can find cheaper Wi-Fi cameras, but how many can you find that also extend your Wi-Fi and are movable? This one does those things. I would buy one again.
