Section 2: Installation
There are two ways to set up your camera:
mydlink Lite Mobile App: You can use the mydlink Lite mobile app to guide you through setup and initial conguration of your
camera. Refer to Mobile App Setup on page 13.
Zero Conguration Setup: If you have a mydlink-enabled router (D-Link Wi-Fi router), this is the easiest way to set up your camera.
Refer to Zero Conguration Setup on page 14.
Note: To ensure your product has the latest security updates and operates at optimal performance, it is recommended you update your product to
the latest rmware after installation and to periodically check for new rmware releases. Updates can be found by searching your model name at
http://support.dlink.com or through the mydlink mobile apps for mydlink registered devices.
Installation
12D-Link DCS-2230L User Manual
Section 2: Installation
This D-Link device can connect to your wireless network from anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. However, the number,
thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary
depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range
is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between your adapter and other network devices (such as your DCS-2230L) - each wall or ceiling
can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet
(1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle, it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position your devices so that the signal will travel straight through
a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may weaken the wireless signal. Try to position your access points,
wireless routers, and other networking devices where the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as
glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), your wireless connection may degrade
dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits
a signal even if the phone in not in use.

Mobile App Setup
You can congure your camera through the mydlink Lite mobile app. On your mobile device, download mydlink Lite by
searching for mydlink Lite in the iTunes App Store, Google Play, or the Windows Store.
Launch the mydlink Lite app and create a new account or sign in to your existing account. Follow the onscreen instructions
to set up your camera.
When you are asked to scan a QR code, use the code on the Quick Install Card in your package, or on the label attached to your
device. If your camera does not have a QR code or does not include a Quick Install Card, you may choose your DCS-2230L from
the list of D-Link models on the app.
Congratulations, your DCS-2230L camera is now ready to use! Be sure to accept any rmware update to keep your product
secure and up to date with the latest features.

the WPS feature. If you are not sure where the WPS button is on your router, please
refer to your router’s user manual.
The DCS-2230L will automatically create a wireless connection to your router. While
connecting, the status LED will ash. When the connection process is complete,
the status LED will turn solid.
Note: If your router does not support WPS, you can still use the wired connection
method on the previous page. After Zero Conguration setup is complete, your
router's wireless settings will be automatically transferred to the camera.
Optional: WPS Wireless Connection
Alternatively, if your router supports WPS, you can use the WPS button on the
camera to easily create a secure wireless connection to your network.
