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 Network Camera) - 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 2.4GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), your wireless connection may degrade
dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz 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.

Attach the external power supply to the DC Power receptor located on the rear
panel of the DCS-6004L/DCS-6005L and connect it to your wall outlet or power
strip.
Hardware Installation
Remove the Camera Housing
The camera housing needs to be separated from the camera base to expose
the screw used to adjust the viewing angle. Remove the camera housing from
the camera base by squeezing the housing release buttons on either side of the
camera. Once the housing is released, lift it up and o the camera base to expose
the Ethernet and power receptor.
Reattach the Camera Housing
Reattach the camera housing by lining up the housing so that the access port
on the housing matches the access port on the camera base. Firmly push down
until the camera housing snaps back onto the camera base.
Please refer to the steps below to assist you with hardware installation process for the camera.

Section 2: Installation
Please refer to the steps below to assist you with mounting the camera.
Mounting the Camera
2. Place the mounting base alignment sticker where you want to position the camera.
Depending on the material of the wall or ceiling, use proper tools to drill two holes where
you placed the alignment sticker. If the wall is made out of concrete, drill the holes rst, then
insert the plastic anchors to support the screws.
4. With the D-Link logo facing you, reattach the camera to the mounting plate by sliding the
camera towards you until it locks into position.
5. Adjust the angle of the camera as desired, then tighten the collar on the camera stem to lock
it in place.
3. Place the mounting base over the holes that are in the wall. Make sure to align the mounting
base holes with the holes in the wall. Use the supplied screws to attach the mounting base to
the surface of the wall.
1. The camera needs to be separated from the mounting base to expose the holes in the
mounting base. Remove the camera head from the mounting base by firmly holding the
camera with the D-Link logo facing you and then sliding the mounting base towards you.
We suggest that you congure the camera before mounting.
Do not overtighten screws as this may crack the mount.
