Wireless N Day & Night Security Camera - HD 1080P Indoor/Outdoor WiFi IP Camera with Night Vision, Motion Detection & 2-Way Audio - Ideal for Home, Office & Baby Monitoring

03-04-2014 I just completed the latest firmware upgrade and tried the dlink+ app again. I can't say if the firware update did the trick or all the new features that seem to have been added to the dlink+ app but what I can say is that this camera and the paid dlink+ app are now working great together on my kindle fire HD. There may be some other issues from my original review that haven't been fixed but I could not be happier with this camera now. Enough so that I'm now ready to decide on an indoor/outdoor, ptz, and two-way camera. I'm pretty sure it will be another DLink now10-12-2013 update: Since I was busy and didn't return this camera, I finally got back to seeing if I could do anything with .avi video files. There were a lot of software packages that claimed they could help me but I didn't want to pay half of what I paid for the camera to find out. Since I could play some .avi files, I didn't know if the problem was in my media players, plug-ins, etc. or with the camera. I found a free player at downloadster.org and chanced the download since I had just backed up my PC. The great news is I'm no longer watching totally black videos so I've changed my rating from 3 stars to 4. I like the camera better now, especially since I wasn't expecting videos, but there are still issues as stated below in my original review and a couple of other things that I'm on the fence on as to whether they are issues or not.original review:The Good:I'm happy with the picture and that it can be set up to send images on motion detection. The pan is nice and you can rotate it basically 360 degrees. You can set a home position and send the camera back home with one click. You can also set the distance/angle of your pan steps. The night vision works nice and you really can see details pretty far away with it.The Bad:DCS-5010L problemsIssue 1-Wireless Setup: When setting up the camera, it would not find my wireless network. Once the camera was setup, I was able to log into it via it's IP address and go to "Wireless Setup" on the left side of the screen after selecting the "setup" tab at the top of the screen. I was able to type in my SSID here. Since I tried the install multiple times, I found I could also use "Site survey" on this screen and it would find my wireless network.This worked and I could unplug my ethernet cable and use the camera wirelessly. I could also unplug the camera and move it to different locations in the house. If you unplug your camera, you'll need to go back in to setup and set the correct time.Issue 1 fix problem: The problem with getting the camera to work wireless using the fix that I used is that if you log into your camera via the mydlink software and go to the settings you will see the "Connect this camera wirelessly" option. There is a down arrow that opens up a wireless network input rectangle that has a down arrow showing the wireless network(s) available to choose from. However, I never have any to choose from so this and the associated password input are always blank. This becomes a problem if I want to use the mydlink page to change settings. I have lost my wireless ability after changing between enabling and disabling the "send email notification" feature on this page. I had to get the ethernet cable back out and input my wireless network as described in Issue 1. above. Note: I'm assuming they are blank because of the way I got it to recognize my wireless network and that it is not blank for everyone.Issue 2-Dlink+ App: Before purchasing this camera, I had purchased a Dlink DCS-930L that I was using the DLINK lite free app to watch when I was away from home. I could not view this DCS-5010L on my Dlink lite but since it was the second camera and I believe lite is only for one camera I figured I needed to buy the DLINK+ app. I tried to find what cameras the + supported on the Amazon product page but could not. Silly me went to the google play store and found that the + supported the 5010L. So I bought the + and didn't try it until after my 15 minutes were up to return it and then I found out that Dlink+ that I had bought from Amazon would just display the question mark for this camera indicating that it was not supported.Issue 3-video clip in .avi format: Even if this camera didn't work with the DLink+ app, I figured the video clip feature might make up for it. The problem is that the video clips that are being emailed to me just show a black screen as they play. The clips do pickup the audio and play it back but why would I want just the audio. I checked my media player and I have other avi files that play just fine. I've been changing the setting such as bit rate, etc. for the camera and trying to play the files but so far I'm still getting a solid black picture with audio. The still images from this camera are fine so the camera takes pictures. At one time when I was trying to play one of the files I got a message that said the file had an avi extention but was the wrong format. I'm willing to do a little more testing but at this point I'm seeing more stuff that I can't do with this camera than stuff that I can and am thinking I should return it. I think I should have just gotten another 930L or tried another brand.My Setup: For anyone wondering what type of setup I'm using this with, I used a Vista desktop and a DLink DIR-655 wireless router to do the setup. I used the DLink lite and the DLink+ applications on a Kindle Fire HD. Oh, and I'm in the country in the middle of 95 acres so there aren't any other wireless network creating problems.At this point, I don't consider this camera worth the money and will probably return it. However, as an engineer I can't say I'm not enjoying the challenges it is giving me so I've got a few more things to try and then I will update this post as to whether I returned the camera or found work arounds that I could live with.
