This review is from: D-Link DCS-920 Wireless-G Internet Camera (Electronics)
I bought DCS910 in Nov.2008 and DCS920 one month later. I am quite satisfied with both of them and I did not meet any problem till now, or say I could solve the problems that I have found.
The network attached camera supports up to 640x480 in resolution. It is higher then lots of other network attached camera which has only 320x240. So the image quality is quite good. It has good vision in dim light. you could see image or video on your web browser. It supports both MS ActiveX and Sun Java for live video monitoring but it does NOT support sound :(
You may need to install ActiveX control plug-in and Sun Java plug-in for your browser to support live video.
The supplied DViewCam software also supports monitoring up to 32 cameras and you could record videos into computer hard disk. I have not used video record feture till now because it requires turning on computer and consumes too much router/switch band width. I think check from web from time to time is good...Read more

This review is from: D-Link DCS-920 Wireless-G Internet Camera (Electronics)
I have several cameras from different vendors I use as part of a home security system. I'm using with Macs running OS X and wanted to comment on how these work with this setup.
The requirements for these cameras do not list OS X as an option, but they will work once you know a few things. First, the software that comes with the cameras for setup and monitoring IS only for windows. To use to OS X I did the following:
1. Connect an ethernet cable between the mac and camera and make sure your network settings are using ethernet.
2. Go to your web browser and enter the address [192 dot 168 dot 0 dot 20]. This is the default address for this camera.
3. Enter "admin" with no password and you are now in the camera setup page.
4. I would then reset the admin password, enter any login accounts you want, set up the wireless login (works fine with Airport Extreme) and finally, I usually change the network setting on the camera to a default IP address. This is...Read more

This review is from: D-Link DCS-920 Wireless-G Internet Camera (Electronics)
Over the last 4 years, this is my fourth D-Link wireless Camera. I started with the DCS-900W which was a 802.11b camera.
I use the cameras to watch my three dogs while I'm away.
The Pros:
1. The price is right, generally less than $100.
2. The picture quality during daylight is good (not V.Good, nor Excellent)
3. The speed this camera transmitts to my router is far faster than my other camera, a DCS-G900. (The DCS-920 position replaced my G900 a 802.11g)
4. I use the D-View Cam and like it a lot. Rather useless unless you have at least 2 cameras or you want to record.
The Cons:
1. Digital Zoom on the DCS-920 is near useless; it gets so blurry the added digital magnification is near useless.
2. The setup with a linksys router can be trickey and requires some serious understanding. When I got my first one, several years ago, I called D-Link Tech Support and they were fantastic!!! They guided me through every...Read more
