„ Low Light Recording and 4x Digital Zoom: The DCS-2100’s 1.0 lux light sensitivity
allows you to capture video in rooms with minimal lighting, making it ideal for
use at night time. The camera also features 4x digital zoom for closer viewing.
„ Web Configuration: Using the Internet Explorer Web browser, administrators can
configure and manage the Internet Camera directly from its own Web page via
the Intranet or the Internet. Up to 20 user names and passwords are permitted,
with privilege settings controlled by the administrator.
„ Powerful Surveillance and Remote Monitoring Utility: The powerful IP surveillance
software application assigns an administrator with a pre-defined user ID and
password who can modify the Internet Camera settings from a remote site via an
Intranet or the Internet. Administrators are allowed to monitor the image, record
the image to a hard drive, and take snapshots.
„ Broad Range of Applications: With today’s high-speed Internet, the Internet
Camera provides the ideal solution for live video images over the Intranet and
Internet for remote monitoring. The DCS-2100 allows remote access from an
Internet Explorer Web browser for live image viewing and allows the administrator
to manage and control the Internet Camera anywhere and any time. Apply the
Internet Camera to monitor various objects and places such as homes, offices,
banks, hospitals, child-care centers, amusement parks and other varieties of
industrial and public monitoring. The Internet Camera can also be used for intruder
detection with its motion-detection mode, capture still images and video images
for archiving and many more applications. The wireless capability means you
can place the camera where it is inconvenient to install network cables.

Security
Security
At this point it is highly recommended that you click on the Configuration button on the
Home screen, and then the Tools tab to bring you to the Admin screen. Enter a
password for security purposes.
To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized use of the Internet Camera,
the Administrator has the exclusive privilege to access the System Administration
settings to allow users entry and authorize privileges for all users. The Internet Camera
supports multi-level password protection/access to the Internet Camera that can be
restricted to defined users who have a User Name and User Password, which is
assigned by the Administrator.
The Administrator can release a public user name and password so that when remote
users access the Internet Camera they will have the right to view the image transmitted
by the Internet Camera.
When the Internet Camera is used for the first time, it is highly recommended that the
Administrator set the Administrator’s Password to constrain user access to the Internet
Camera since the Default settings are Null String (no password). Once the Password is
defined, only the Administrator has access to the management of the Internet Camera.
This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security features of the
Internet Camera will not be enabled until the Administrator Password is defined.

Using & Configuring the DCS-2100
with a NAT Router
D-Link’s DCS-2100 is a versatile and cost effective Internet Camera offering both video
and audio monitoring. It can also serve as a powerful surveillance system in security
applications. The DCS-2100 can be used with any wired router. This section explains
how to view the camera from either the Internet or from inside your internal network.
Materials Needed:
„ 1 DCS-2100 Internet Camera
„ 1 Ethernet Cable
„ A Wired router such as the D-Link DI-624 Router
„ Ethernet based PC for system configuration
SETTING UP THE DCS-2100 FOR USE BEHIND A ROUTER
Installing a DCS-2100 Internet Camera on your network is an easy 4–step procedure:
1 Assign a local IP Address to your Internet Camera
2 View the Internet Camera Using Your Internet Explorer Web browser
3 Access the Router with Your Web browser
4 Open Virtual Server Ports for Your Router (Enable Remote Viewing)
This section is designed to walk you through the setup process for installing your camera
behind a router and enable remote video viewing. For the basic setup of the
DCS-2100, follow the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide.
After you have completed the setup of the DCS-2100 outlined in the Quick Installation
Guide you will have an operating camera that has an assigned IP Address. Because
you are using a router to share the Internet with one or more PCs, the IP Address assigned
to the Internet Camera will be a local IP Address. This allows viewing within your Local
Area Network (LAN) until the router is configured to allow remote viewing of the camera
over the Internet.
1 Assign a Local IP Address for Your Camera
Run the Installation Wizard program from the CD included with the DCS-2100. Follow
the steps in the Quick Installation Guide to configure the DCS-2100. The camera will
be assigned a local IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router. Write down
this IP Address for future reference.

Router Set-Up and Installation
The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The
D-Link DI-624 is used as an example to clarify the configuration process. Configure the
initial settings of the DI-624 by following the steps outlined in the DI-624 Quick
Installation Guide.
3 Access Your Router on Your Web Browser
If you have cable or DSL Internet service, you will most likely have a dynamically
assigned WAN IP Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address can
change from time to time depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identifies
your router on the public network and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what
your router’s WAN IP Address is, go to the Status menu on your router and locate the
WAN information for your router (as shown on the next page). The WAN IP Address will
be listed. This will be the address that you will need to type in your Web browser to view
your camera over the Internet.
D-Link Systems, Inc.

DCS-2100 User’s Manual
Using & Configuring the DCS-2100 with a NAT Router
Your WAN IP Address will be listed on the router’s Status > Device Info page.
Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP,
you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a fixed
IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use to
access your camera from a remote location. The Static IP Address will also allow you to
access your camera attached to your router over the Internet.
4 Open Virtual Server Ports to Enable Remote Image Viewing
The firewall security features built into the DI-624 router prevent users from accessing
the video from the DCS-2100 over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over
a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the DCS-2100 are blocked
from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over
the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the DI-624 router.
The Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be opened through the router for
remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by clicking on the Advanced
tab of the router screen.

6 Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed
at any time.
Repeat the above steps adding ports 5001, 5002, and 5003 to both the Public and
Private Port sections. A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that
the ports are enabled.
Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80 and other commonly used Internet ports
to conserve bandwidth. Check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate ports
accordingly. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change the port
the camera uses from 80 to something else, such as 800. Not all routers are the same,
so refer to your user manual for specific instructions on how to open ports.
Enter valid ports in the Virtual Server section of your router. Please make sure to check
the box next to the camera name on the Virtual Server List to enable your settings.

Using the DCS-2100 with an Internet Browser
Recommendations for Setting Video for the Best Performance:
“Best performance” means the image refresh rate should be the fastest possible and
the video quality should be the best possible at the lowest network bandwidth possible.
Three factors, Maximum frame rate, Fix bit rate, and Fix quality in the Video
Configuration page, are related to performance.
Recording settings for real-time motion images
To achieve a real-time visual effect, the network bandwidth should be large enough to
transmit 20 image frames per second (fps) or more. If you are on a broadband network
over 1Mbps, you can set Fix bit Rate to 1000Kbps or 1200Kbps, or set Fix quality to
achieve the maximum frames. The maximum frame rate is 25 in 50Hz system and 30 in
60Hz system. If your network bandwidth is more than 384Kbps, you can adjust Fix bit
rate according to your bandwidth and set the maximum frame rate of 25 to 30.
If the images vary dramatically in your environment, you may slow down the maximum
frame rate to 20 to decrease the transmitted data for better video quality. Since the
human eye could not easily differentiate between 20 and 25 or 30 frames per second,
the slower frame rate will not be noticed. If your network bandwidth is below 384Kbps,
you should adjust the bit rate according to your bandwidth and experiment to allow for
the best frame rate that can be achieved. The faster frame rate in a slow network will
blur the images. You may also try to choose 320x240 in size option for better images or
640x480 for larger image size. Because the network has burst constraints and
everyone’s environment is not the same, any poor connection will impair normal
performance.
Recording settings for clear identification for each image
To have the best video quality, you should set Fix quality to detailed or excellent and
tune the Maximum frame rate to suit your network bandwidth. If you get some broken
pictures in a slow network, you can set TCP protocol in Connection type for a more
accurate transmission but the received images may have a lag. Note that any slow
connection with multiple users will impair performance.
Recording settings to compromise between real-time and clear images
If you have a broadband network, set Fix quality to Good image quality, or higher,
instead of setting the Bit rate. Otherwise, fix the bit rate according to your actual network
speed and set the frame rate to 30. If the image quality is low, select a lower frame rate
above 15. If the image quality is still not improved, select a lower bit rate.

Record Snapshots to your FTP Server with Motion Detection
Record Snapshots to your FTP
server with Motion Detection
Administrators can combine options on the application page to perform many useful
security applications. There are two kinds of actions that can respond to the motion
detection event that include uploading snapshots over the internet and driving attached
devices. To upload the snapshots, users can choose either email or FTP according to
user’s needs. Both e-mail and FTP use the network settings on the network page. This
section describes how to enable motion detecting and record snapshots to an FTP
server.
If no external sensor is available, administrators can utilize the built-in motion detection
to monitor any abnormal movement and then record the snapshots to an FTP server.
Click the Motion Detection button under the Advanced tab from the Configuration
screen to access settings that affect how the DCS-2100 Internet Camera can serve as
a security device by recording only when motion is detected.

There is a unique light signal associated with each channel number. It indicates the
status of the dedicated video channel, which is depicted as follows:
Off:
The video channel is not connected with any DCS-2100 yet.
Green:
The green light means the DCS-2100 associated with this
channel number is connected, and the video is monitored in
the video area.
Red:
The red light indicates the video from this channel is recording
into the video database. In this mode, you don’t have to drag
and drop the channel to the video area. This means that this
application software supports real-time recording with and
without real-time monitoring for the dedicated video channel.
Blink:

Modulation Mode:
The modulation mode cannot be changed. This depends on
how you recorded the video sequence in the monitor program.
If you select the wrong mode, the video shown in the display
area will become distorted. If you have chosen the wrong
modulation mode, you may open the settings dialog again,
change to the correct mode, and restart the playback program.
The display will now be normal.
Normal (Single Frame) Mode
While in the normal (single frame) display mode, you can change the video currently
displayed by:
1) Changing the database path for retrieving another one in the settings dialog of “System
Control” tool.
2) Changing the location selector to another location in control area.
3) Changing the playback method selector to “Full Range.”
4) Changing the playback method selector to “Time Period.”
Under the normal display (single frame) mode, you can use all the tools provided with
the playback program, except the page control. In this mode, the two labels under the
pull bar show the starting and the ending time of the interval individually (as shown
below).

Histogram Area
The histogram area in the normal display (single frame) mode only shows the events’
occurred time and the percentage of motion detection with red bars. If you want to access
the histogram area, you must change the area selection indicator to the histogram area.
You can mark one time interval you want to see with a color-inverted region by dragging
your mouse with the left button pressed (as shown below). When you release the left
button, the color-inverted region will be enlarged to the whole histogram area. This
color-inverted region will be the new period the program is going to display. If you change
your mind and don’t want to see that period, you can cancel it by just pressing the right
button of your mouse with the left button still pressed. If you click on the left button
without dragging it, the action will be the same as clicking on the pull bar in the same xaxis position. That means the playback system will shift to the pointed time and show
video on the displaying frame. Besides, the dark regions in the histogram area mean
there is no existing video data in that interval. If you click on those regions, nothing will
happen except a warning message will pop up.
Using Tools
In this section, the method of how to use the tools in the control panel (shown in the
main playback window) will be discussed.
Selector Tools
The figure below shows the selector tools. They are location selector, period selector
for the selection of the beginning time and the ending time, playback method selector,
and alert area selector.

Location Selector
The location selector is a control that lets you select the camera you want to see (refer
to the figure above). The location name is the same as the camera name (text on video)
unless you have specified otherwise.
Period Selector
Period selector provides you a precise way to choose the start time and the end time of
a new period. The end time must be later than the start time. After you provide the
correct start and end time, clicking on the “Play” button in the jog dial will play the new
period in the display area with changing the period start and end time label. Besides,
the pull bar and histogram area will change, too. If the selected period is not present in
the database, the data in the period selector will change to the previous correct start
and end time, and a warning message will be displayed.
Playback Method Selector
Since the program will record the previous start and end time in “Time Period” and
“Events Preview” mode, whenever you want to change the period selector to see the
other periods, you must change the playback method selector to the mode you want to
use first. Otherwise, the period selector will revert back to the previous period set the
last time you changed the playback method selector.
Full Range:
If you select this method, the database will be displayed from
the beginning to the end of this location. Any change in the
period selector will have no effect except when you change
this selector to “Time Period.”
Time Period:
If you change the playback method to “Time Period”, you can
modify the start and end time in the period selector. When you
click on the “Play” button in the jog dial, the period you selected
will be displayed.
Alert Area Selector
In the preview mode, the playback program can show the information of total events of
only one alert window each time. If you want to see the events of the other two alert
area windows, you must change the alert area selector to the other window numbers. In
the normal display mode, the alert window that the alert area selector indicates will be
highlighted with red rectangle if you checked that window in the settings dialog. The
alert area selector will be changed to alert window 0 by default settings when you
change the location selector to another window.

DCS-2100 uses port 5001 for control and synchronization, port 5002 for streaming
audio and port 5003 for streaming video. These ports (or the ports you specify from the
Advanced Tab in the Configuration screen if you change the default ports) need to be
opened on the firewall. Please refer to page 47 for more information.
10 Why am I unable to access the DCS-2100 from a
Web browser?
If a router or firewall is used on the network, the correct por ts for the
DCS-2100 may not be configured on the router or firewall. To correct the problem, you
need to determine if the DCS-2100 is behind a router or firewall and if the router or
firewall is properly configured for the ports the DCS-2100 is using. Refer to page 37 for
help in opening the correct ports on a router or firewall for use with the DCS-2100.
Other possible problems might be due to the network cable. Try replacing your network
cable. Test the network interface of the product by connecting a local computer to the
unit, utilizing a Ethernet crossover cable. If the problem is not solved the Internet Camera
might be faulty.

Frequently Asked Questions
11 Why does the Internet Camera work locally but not
externally?
This might be caused by network firewall protection. The firewall may need to have
some settings changed in order for the Internet Camera to be accessible outside your
local LAN. Check with the Network Administrator for your network.
Make sure that the Internet Camera isn’t conflicting with any Web server you may have
running on your network.
The default router setting might be a possible reason. Check that the configuration of
the router settings allow the Internet Camera to be accessed outside your local LAN.
Please refer to page 37 for more information.
12 I connected the Internet Camera directly to a
computer with a cross-over cable Ethernet cable and
received the following Windows error upon running
the Installation Wizard:
This Windows error will occur if the Internet Camera is connected to a computer that is
not properly configured with a valid IP address. Turn off DHCP from the Network Settings
in Windows and configure the computer with a valid IP address or connect the camera
to a router with DHCP enabled.
This error can also occur if the Installation Wizard icon is clicked on more than once
from the setup wizard.
13 Why does a series of broad vertical white lines
appear throughout the image?
It could be that the CMOS sensor has become overloaded when it has been exposed
to bright lights such as direct exposure to sunlight or halogen lights. Reposition the
Internet Camera into a more shaded area immediately as prolonged exposure to bright
lights will damage the CMOS sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions
14 The focus on the Internet Camera is bad, how can I
correct it?
Adjust the Internet Camera focus manually as described in Adjusting the Internet
Camera Focus section (page 127).
15 Noisy images occur. How can I solve the problem?
The video images might be noisy if the Internet Camera is used in a very low light
environment. To solve this issue you need more lighting.
16 The images appear to be of poor quality, how can I
improve the image quality?
Make sure that your computer’s display properties are set above 256 colors. Using 16
or 256 colors on your computer will produce dithering artifacts in the image, making the
image appear to be of poor quality.
The configuration on the Internet Camera image display is incorrect. Through the
Advanced > Image Setting section of the Web management you need to adjust the
image related parameters such as brightness, contrast, hue and power line frequency
for fluorescent light . Please refer to the Advanced > Image Setting section on Page
54 for detailed information.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to PING Your IP Address
The PING (Packet Internet Groper) command can determine whether a specific IP
address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a
reply. It can also provide a very useful tool to confirm if the IP address conflicts with
Internet Camera over the network.
Follow the step-by-step procedure below to utilize the PING command but first you
must disconnect Internet Camera from the network.
1 Start a DOS window.
2 Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the Internet Camera.
The replies, as illustrated below, will help diagnose any connection problems.

Reset and Restore
Reset and Restore
There is a button hidden in the pinhole beside the Ethernet socket. It is used to reset
the system or restore the factory default settings. Sometimes resetting the DCS-2100
will return the system back to a normal state. If the system still has problems after reset,
restore the factory settings and install again:
RESET:
1 Lightly press and release the reset button on the back of the camera.
2 The LED on the front of the camera will begin blinking red and blue fast.
3 When the LED stops the blinking fast and starts blinking once every second, the
reset is completed.
RESTORE:
1 Press and continuously hold down the reset button on the back of the camera.
2 Wait for the LED on the front of the camera to blink red and blue and hold the
button through two cycles of blinking (about 5-7 seconds.)
3 Withdraw the tool after the second cycle of the LED blinking and a factory restore
has been completed.
Restoring the factory defaults will result in the loss of any previous settings and will
require running the Installation Wizard to find the camera’s IP address.

Adjusting the Camera Focus
Adjusting the Camera Focus
The DCS-2100 Internet Camera features an interchangeable lens that can be used for
different applications as necessary. It supports rotational focus control so the lens can
be adjusted to focus under normal and stable conditions to maximize the image quality
of the Internet Camera.
To adjust the focus of the lens you will need to turn the lens slowly either clockwise or
counterclockwise until the desired image appears. DO NOT overturn the lens in either
direction as it will be out of focus or may damage the camera. Unless you want to
substitute the lens DO NOT unscrew more than 1.0mm apart from the Fixed Lens
Assembly.
To help you get the best image quality, keep in mind that while adjusting the cameras
focus you can preview the image quality from your Web browser.
Note: You can further adjust the Internet Camera’s image quality through the Web
configuration under: Configuration > Advanced > Video. Please refer to page 51 for
further details.
