A:

You can set it up to email you clips of any activity (motion-detection is built in to the camera). There are other ways of getting the videos off-site onto a 'cloud' server, but email is a cheap/easy way to guarantee that the BadGuy can't erase the video that caught him.

A:

I suppose they could move the camera out of shot, but it records live and takes pictures and sends them to your email when it detects movement. So even if someone saw the camera and moved it, you should at the very least, be ale to get the pictures emailed to you. I believe you can watch it live, but I don't know if you can "save" all the footage and go back and watch it. Seems like you should be able to, I just haven't figured that out yet.

Best Answer

A:

Yes, it will see through a window at night; however the image tends to be degraded by reflections bouncing off the inside of the window.

I have mine set up to shoot through a window; the window-blinds are behind (more 'inside') the camera; but at night, the inside lights cause the image of the blinds to be reflected off the inside-face of the window, and back into the camera lens, making the image somewhat noisy.

Clean the window real well; and the more 'straight-on' (90 degrees/right-angle) you can point the camera at the window, the better. The more slanted it is, the more reflection you will get.

We thank you for your question. Please note that D-Link does not recommend the use of any of our cameras which utilizes an IR LED that enables night vision, to be positioned in front of a window for viewing outside of that window do to the fact that the reflection of the IR LED's against the window may hamper night vision viewing and cause performance issues in dim lighting conditions. We thank you for choosing D-Link.

Best Answer

A:

Yes, you would need an Internet browser that can run Java and/or the MyDLink Lite app on your smart phone. Note, however, there are limitations on what you can "control," remotely. Since the product does not have tilt/pan functionality your image is static. That said, with the 1150 you can turn sound on/off, take a picture, switch between day/night/auto mode, turn sound detection on/off, turn motion detection on/off, and turn extender mode on/off.

If you're asking if it can be used as a web cam, no. You need to connect to the camera through a web browser or other special software. Out of the box it will not show up as a camera for Skype or other chat software. Doesn't mean someone could write something to make it work, but it doesn't work out of the box.
