Enhanced Day/Night Cloud Camera

DCS-942L

Product Status: End of Life

The DCS-942L Enhanced Wi-Fi Day/Night Camera is a complete surveillance solution for your home or small office. The built-in night vision and PIR motion sensor give you 24 hour surveillance with motion detection, and you can record snapshots and video directly to the included microSD card¹. It’s mydlink enabled too, so you can check on your camera anytime, anywhere from any PC, tablet, or mobile phone.

Peace Of Mind With 24/7 Monitoring Of Any Environment

The DCS-942L gives you clear video in any environment. It uses a moving IR cut filter to give you the best possible picture at any time of day; during the daytime, the IR cut filter helps give you a crisp colour image, at night it moves out of the way and the infrared LEDs turn on for a clear video even in complete darkness. Now you can keep watch over what’s important, day or night.

Highly Versatile Surveillance

The Enhanced Wi-Fi Day/Night Camera is a complete surveillance solution that can run independently, even without a PC. The built-in PIR motion sensor accurately detects nearby motion, and can send you e-mail notifications with snapshots or video clips whenever movement is detected. The DCS-942L can also detect loud sounds such as glass breaking or a baby crying, and record video of the event directly to an inserted microSD card. You can even connect a speaker to the camera for two-way communication, making it great for nurseries or entryways.

mydlink™: the easiest way to setup up your camera and monitor your home

Connecting a camera on your network and accessing it has traditionally required complex configuration. mydlink™ makes it easy to access your camera from wherever you are, whenever it’s convenient for you. Using the free mydlink™ Lite app for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, you can connect and setup your mydlink™ camera without turning on a computer.

A step-by-step guide has your camera up and running in a matter of minutes. Through the mydlink™ Lite app, you can set up a free mydlink™ account which allows you to view and manage your camera from any Internet connected computer. If you have more than one camera, you can add it to your existing mydlink™ account and watch all your cameras from a single location.

Accessing your cameras on the go is easy too. Just download the free mydlink™ Lite app for your iOS, Android or Windows Phone device and you can quickly and easily view your camera feed from anywhere with a wireless or 3G/4G LTE connection. You can even access videos recorded onto the included SD card. Thanks to this app, you can monitor on-the-go even if you don’t have access to a computer.

If you have a mydlink™-enabled Cloud Router, setting up and configuring your DCS-942L is a snap, thanks to Zero Configuration. Simply connect your camera to its power adapter and then connect your camera to your Cloud Router with an Ethernet cable - the camera will automatically be added to your account.
