Pan the security camera up to 270 degrees horizontally and tilt it up to 90 degrees vertically. The pan/tilt speed can be adjusted to your preference. 4x digital zoom lets you remotely zoom in on all the action for close-up viewing.
The DCS-5300G adheres to the Universal Plug & Play (UPnP) specification, which allows computers running Windows XP/Me to automatically recognize the DCS-5300G and add it to your network without requiring additional configuration.

By signing up with one of the many free Dynamic DNS services available on the Web, you can assign an easy-to-remember name and domain to the camera.

Strengths: reasonable video quality. has wi-fi. comes with software to run camera
Weaknesses: does not support WPA2 encryption. comes with 2 software packages and neither activates patrol feature on a timer
Summary: I got this camera because it's the only one with the features I needed at reasonable price. However it's not at all easy to figure out esp WiFi part. and I am pretty good with setting up computers. D-Link support wasn't much help. And right now I still having trouble that it stops recording after 9 hours

Strengths: remote monitoring
Weaknesses: requires Windows Internet Explorer to view video. I have a Macintosh, so that doesn't help.
Summary: I would really like to see DLink fully embrace the Macintosh platform and make the software work universally, or platform independent. Not everyone has Windoze.

Strengths: Fairly easy set-up, works as advertised, web administrative interface is nice, quality of picture and sound is good, features are nice.
Weaknesses: CCD lens is manual focus and could maybe of a bit higher quality. Otherwise, the web interface could benefit from a little more polishing and D-Link's support can be fairly mediocre at times.
Summary: Basically a very good camera. If I had to do it over, I might buy the more advanced model with better zoom and auto-focus, but for what this camera costs and what it offers, it's a great value. We have used it as a "baby cam" so our out-of-town relatives can peek in on our newborn, and it has worked wonderfully in that regard.

Strengths: The ability to pan and tilt with this camera are great.
The ability to zoom is also a plus, and the built in server features with the ability to view it via http is great. The camera also uses 802.11g which speeds up everything immensly.
Weaknesses: Sometimes disconnects randomly.
Summary: The camera overall is great. I currently have 12 of these in use and are overall excellent. The only down side is that sometimes they must be unplugged in order to reconnect to the network.
Besides that and the somewhat un-userfriendly sotware a great camera.
