D-Link DCS-932L Wireless N Day / Night Home IP Camera (Accessories)

Customer Review

With this camera, you can not go far wrong for private use. The camera makes a solid impression and can be oriented in almost all directions thanks to ball bearings. Installation is simple and fast. The establishment on my Fritz! Box 7390 via WPS was not a problem. After ordering you can make using the web interface, some configurations that require quite a background in networking and IT. Some places are surely solved complicated (for example you can find out the result of the test routines for email alerts or the FTP upload only on the status tab. Thus, a page change is always necessary. Very annoying!).
Motion Detection and subsequent alarms via email or FTP works well. Here more configuration options would be nice (for example, configuration of the subject). I had problems only during cyclic uploading images via FTP. Here have been 0KB size approximately every 10 images. Annoying!
Night Vision mode is quite sharp and the contrast is good. Too much reflection (white areas in the image) disturbing stripes are visible. The same image, when the night mode is turned off and only a black image can be seen. Then you suddenly increased blue stripes. In the price range but you can ignore it.
The iPhone app works quite well, but on the registration and configuration can be dispensed, when accessed easily right from the browser to the stream.

CONCLUSION:
A good beginner's camera with potential for improvement. Have the camera purchased with a voucher for 53 euros, as is also true price / performance ratio. 70 Euro I would not have spent on it. But I do not think there is better in the price range.

Tested with:
- Firmware: 1.03b8 (4.7.2012)
- Windows 7 64bit
- Firefox 13/14
