Section 1 - Product Overview  
Introduction  
The DCS-5010L Pan & Tilt Day/Night Network Camera is a versatile surveillance solution for your home or small office. Unlike a  
standard webcam, the DCS-5010L is a complete system with a built-in CPU and Web server that transmits high-quality video  
images. The pan/tilt function allows the camera to patrol a wide area, while the built-in IR LEDs provide around-the-clock  
surveillance regardless of the lighting conditions.  
The DCS-5010L can be accessed remotely, and controlled from any PC/Notebook over your local network or through the Internet  
using a Web browser. The simple installation and intuitive Web-based interface offer easy integration with your Ethernet/  
Fast Ethernet or 802.11g/n wireless network. And with Wireless N technology you have the freedom to place the DCS-5010L  
anywhere within range of your existing wireless network.  
Your DCS-5010L is mydlink-enabled, which means that you can view and manage your camera from anywhere over the Internet  
through the mydlink website, or through the mydlink mobile app for iOS and Android. You can view your camera’s live video,  
take snapshots, and manage the camera’s configuration, all from anywhere you have Internet access.

Section 1 - Product Overview  
Features  
Easy to Use and mydlink-Enabled for Easy Access and Management  
The DCS-5010L is a stand-alone surveillance camera that requires no special hardware or software, and can operate independently, even without a  
PC. This camera is also mydlink-enabled, which means you can view and manage your camera through the mydlink website, or through the mydlink  
mobile app for iOS and Android mobile devices.  
Pan/Tilt for Wide Viewing Area  
Patrol a large area with one camera thanks to the DCS-5010L’s pan and tilt functions. You can use the Web interface to manually adjust the camera  
lens position, or set up to 24 pre-defined preset positions, enabling you to quickly move to frequently used points of interest.  
IR LEDs for Day and Night Functionality  
The built-in infrared LEDs enable nighttime viewing of up to 26 feet (8 meters), giving you clear images regardless of lighting conditions.  
H.264 Codec for Smooth, Space-Efficient Video  
This camera supports use of the H.264 video codec, which gives you high-quality video with reduced bandwidth requirements. This means that  
you can enjoy smoother, more reliable video streaming over the Internet, and less disk space is required to save recordings.  
Motion Triggered Notifications and Recordings  
The DCS-5010L can send e-mail notifications with snapshots or video clips whenever motion is detected. You can designate areas to monitor for  
motion, allowing you to keep watch over specific areas of interest. The DCS-5010L can also upload images to an FTP server whenever motion in  
these areas is detected.  
802.11g/n Wireless or Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Support  
The DCS-5010L offers wireless 802.11g/n and Ethernet/Fast Ethernet connectivity, making it easy to integrate into your existing network environment.  
The DCS-5010L works with either a 10 Mbps Ethernet-based network or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet-based network for traditional wired environments,  
and works with 802.11g/n wireless routers or access points for added flexibility. The Site Survey feature also allows you to view and connect to any  
available wireless networks within range of the camera.  
Remote Monitoring Utility  
The D-ViewCam application adds enhanced features and functionality to the DCS-5010L, and allows you to create a full surveillance system for up  
to 32 cameras. With D-ViewCam, you can view multiple cameras at the same time, record video, and set up scheduled and triggered recordings.

Wireless Installation Considerations  
Your D-Link Wireless Network Camera lets you access your network using a wireless connection from anywhere within the  
operating range of your wireless network. However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects  
that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and  
background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic  
guidelines:  
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between your adapter and other network devices (such as your  
network camera) - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range by 3-98 feet (1-30 meters).  
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (half a meter), at a 45-degree  
angle appears to be almost 3 feet thick (1 meter). At a 2-degree angle, it looks over 46 feet thick (about 14 meters).  
Position your devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for  
better reception.  
3. Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may weaken the wireless signal. Try  
to position your access points, wireless routers, and other networking devices where the signal passes through  
drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish  
tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.  
4. Keep your camera at least 3-6 feet (1-2 meters) away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.  
5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), your  
wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 GHz phone base is as  
far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use.

Section 2 - Installation  
Installation  
There are three ways to set up your camera:  
Zero Configuration Setup: If you have a mydlink-enabled router (D-Link cloud router), this is the easiest way to set up  
your camera. Refer to “Zero Configuration Setupon page 15.  
Camera SetupWizard: If you do not have a mydlink-enabled router, use the Camera SetupWizard to guide you through  
setup and initial configuration of your camera. Refer to “Camera Setup Wizardon page 19.  
Manual Hardware Installation: This section shows you how to manually set up your camera. However, in order to use  
the mydlink features of your camera, you will still need to run the Camera Setup Wizard. Refer to “Manual Hardware  
Installationon page 20.  
Note: If you experience issues registering this device with your mydlink account, or If you purchased an open box or resold unit,  
perform a hard reset by pressing and holding the reset button on the device for 10 seconds while the device is powered on. If  
you are returning the device to the place of purchase, please perform the hard reset procedure to clear the device of  
any personal data.  
D-Link DCS-5010L User Manual

Section 2 - Installation  
Zero Configuration Setup  
The Zero Configuration Setup will only work with a registered Cloud Router and an active mydlink account. Your Cloud Router  
will automatically assign your network settings (both wired and wireless) to your camera, and add the camera to your mydlink  
account. If you do not have a D-Link Cloud Router, you can use the Setup Wizard. Refer to“Camera Setup Wizardon page 19.  
Connect the Power Cable and Ethernet Cable  
Step 1  
Attach the power supply to the power receptor located on the back of the DCS-5010L  
and connect it to a wall outlet or surge protector. Power is confirmed when the Power  
LED is lit.  
Step 2  
Connect the included Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port located on the back of the  
DCS-5010L. Plug the other end into an available (LAN) port on your D-Link Cloud  
Router.  
Note: If you later decide to use your camera wirelessly, you will be able to remove the  
cable after the Zero Configuration Setup is complete and place the camera within your  
wireless network.  
If you prefer to initiate a wireless connection with your router, you can useWPS (Wi-Fi  
Protected Setup). Refer to ”WPS - Push Button Setupon page 18.

A confirmation request will appear with a summary of the configuration  
details. Make a note of the details and click Yes to add the camera to your  
account. Your setup is complete!  
Note: If you experience issues registering this device with your mydlink account,  
perform a hard reset by pressing and holding the reset button on the device for  
10 seconds while the device is powered on.  
Next you will see the mydlink Live View* for your camera. The screen will look  
similar to the screenshot on the right.  
Note: If you used an Ethernet connection and now want to connect your camera  
to your router wirelessly, you can simply disconnect the Ethernet cable and  
move the camera to the preferred location. Your router's wireless settings were  
automatically transferred to the camera during Zero Configuration Setup, so no  
further configuration is required.  
If you are interested in learning about advanced configuration of your camera,  
skip to“Configurationon page 25.  
*Note: If the live image is blurry or out of focus, you can manually adjust the focus  
by rotating the manual focus bezel that surrounds the camera lens. If you notice  
a white haze when viewing in night vision mode, the night vision light on the  
camera may be reflecting off a nearby surface. Try repositioning the camera.

Troubleshooting  
1. What is Remote Access? How do I enable it?  
Remote Access allows you to access your camera from the www.mydlink.com website. You can view live video from your camera and manage your  
camera’s settings when you’re away from home. Simply use the Camera Setup Wizard to register your camera with your mydlink account. (Refer to  
“Camera Setup Wizardon page 19.)  
After running the Camera Setup Wizard, you should see Remote Status: Enabled on the summary page.  
If you see Remote Status: Disabled, make sure that:  
the front LED on your camera is lit solid green  
your Internet connection is working  
your router’s LAN & WAN connections are working properly  
your router has UPnP enabled (for more information, refer to your router’s user manual)  
your router can get a public IP address  
your router’s firmware has been upgraded to the latest version  
you have tried rebooting your router by unplugging it, then plugging it back in  
After checking the above items, you can click Retry to refresh the summary screen to see if Remote Access has been enabled.  
2. What can I do if I forget the password for my camera’s Web configuration interface?  
If you forget your password, you will need to perform a factory reset of your camera. Unfortunately, this  
process will change all your settings back to the factory default settings.  
To reset your camera, use an unfolded paper clip to press and hold the RESET button on the back of your  
camera for at least 10 seconds while your camera is plugged in.

Section 5 - Troubleshooting  
3. The image on the Live View is blurry or out of focus, what can I do?  
You can manually adjust the focus of the lens by rotating the bezel on the front of the camera (surrounding the lens). While watching the Live View,  
rotate the bezel until the desired level of focus is achieved.  
4. Why don’t the LEDs light up?  
The power supply might be faulty. Confirm that you are using the provided DC 12V power supply for this camera. Verify that the power supply is  
correctly connected. The WPS LED will only turn on if there is a WPS connection present, the camera may still be functioning correctly even if this  
LED is not lit. If the camera is functioning normally, the LEDs may have been disabled. See “Admin” on page 45 for information about how to  
enable the LEDs.  
5. Why is the camera’s network connection unreliable?  
If you are using a wired connection to connect the camera, there might be a problem with the network cable. To confirm that the cables are  
working, PING the address of a known device on the network. If the cabling is OK and your network is reachable, you should receive a reply similar  
to the following (…bytes = 32 time = 2 ms).  
Another possibility may be that the network device such as a hub or switch utilized by the network camera is not functioning properly. Please  
confirm the power for the devices are well connected and functioning properly.  
If you are using a wireless connection to connect the camera, be aware of the range limitations of the wireless N standard. Most wireless N devices  
have a maximum indoor range of around 230 feet (70 metres). Also be aware that obstacles such as walls, floors, doors and other solid objects can  
have an adverse effect on signal range.  
6. Why does a series of broad vertical white lines appear throughout the image?  
It could be that the image sensor has become overloaded when it has been exposed to bright light such as direct exposure to sunlight or halogen  
lights. Move the camera into a more shaded area immediately, as prolonged exposure to bright lights will damage the sensor.  
7. The camera is producing noisy images. How can I solve the problem?  
The video images might be noisy if the camera is used in a very low-light environment.Try switching to night mode if you are consistently monitoring  
a low-light area.  
D-Link DCS-5010L User Manual

Section 5 - Troubleshooting  
8. The images are poor quality. How can I improve the image quality?  
Make sure that your computer’s display properties are set to at least 16-bit color. Using 16 or 256 colors on your computer will produce dithering  
artifacts in the image, making the image look as if it is of poor quality.  
You may also need to check your image settings to make sure the brightness, contrast, and other settings are set properly. For more information,  
refer to ”Image Setupon page 34.  
9. Why are no images available through the Web browser?  
ActiveX might be disabled. If you are viewing the images from Internet Explorer make sure ActiveX has been enabled in the Internet Options menu.  
You may also need to change the security settings on your browser to allow the ActiveX plug-in to be installed. Also, check that you have the latest  
version of Java installed. Java can be downloaded from http://www.java.com/.  
If you are using Internet Explorer with a version number 6 or lower, then you will need to upgrade your Web browser software in order to view the  
streaming video transmitted by the DCS-5010L.
