00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,520
today we're going to be doing an unboxing of something we've never really done on my Linus tech tips channel this

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:12,880
is a wireless end network camera from d-link and the biggest improvement over

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:17,600
previous wireless and network cameras is that they're saying it is really really

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:24,880
easy to use they also have this my d-link portal which enables a lot of the

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,720
ease of use feature so here's one thing

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,560
can just get this sticker off you can see this sticker was thrown onto the box

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:36,559
at the last minute because my d-link now supports and this is brand

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,559
new uh iphone monitoring of your camera

9
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:42,960
so you just download a little iphone app you sign into my d-link and you can use

10
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:46,719
it to monitor whatever your camera is set up to look at so you know i could

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:51,120
set one up at home and then if i had an iphone which i am planning to get i'm

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:55,039
planning to get an iphone 4 yes i know about the

13
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:58,239
reception issues etc etc but cameraman has convinced me

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,480
he has convinced me he says there are no reception issues

15
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,680
and uh there are no problems and and apple does everything really really well

16
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:09,520
so i'm going to be getting an iphone 4 i'm on like a waiting list for it not in

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:16,240
any particular hurry so why don't we have a look at some of the features of this camera it is wireless n for one

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,439
thing okay that's a feature what other features should we talk about

19
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:24,799
minimum requirements if you have a reasonably modern pc that's not going to

20
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,320
be an issue aha features remotely off

21
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:31,119
monitor your home or office over the internet it does it has a one lux

22
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:35,200
sensitivity sensor for low light recording okay it has a 16x digital zoom

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:41,439
i'm digital zoom i never really recommend using it because you can always just um

24
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:45,520
like zoom in on the image later there's no there's no need to use a digital zoom

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:49,600
uh wireless n built-in microphone oh it has sound recording that's pretty good

26
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,119
uses mjpeg i think you can read all this if you

27
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,079
really want to there you go

28
00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:02,880
one year warranty okay let's find out what's included here is a little quick start guide tells

29
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,040
you how to contact their live support

30
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:11,200
okay also located inside here so there's the quick start guide there's the

31
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:13,120
warranty info presumably okay

32
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,360
okay something in french and then we have a start here dvd i

33
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,440
would actually recommend using this because the whole idea behind this thing

34
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:25,440
is that you just pop in the disc and then it all works

35
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:30,560
quickly and easily inside here we will find mounting

36
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:34,560
hardware okay so we've got some screws we've got some uh other screws and

37
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,160
brackets a little stand oh it's metal stand nice i assume that was gonna be

38
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:42,640
plastic but that's actually got like some you hear that it's got some heft to it

39
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,680
okay let's see what else we got in here we have a power adapter

40
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:53,599
that will power the camera we have two wireless n

41
00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:57,200
ready antennas not that it's uh an antenna particularly needs to be

42
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,920
wireless and ready but there we are why don't we put that

43
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,680
on there so we're just gonna assemble the camera

44
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:08,080
you can see the two antennas go on the back here

45
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:12,800
um i think d-link recommends this for use with something like their dir-655

46
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:17,120
which happens to be a router that i have in my fleet so i will definitely try

47
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:22,000
this out this is a product that i will uh most

48
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:26,480
assuredly do like a uh a video showing you guys exactly how

49
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,560
well it works so that you don't have to spend your hard earned cash

50
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,200
on it without uh without knowing that it's awesome

51
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:39,519
and i'm also just kind of curious too because i've never used an ip camera

52
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,360
before it's a growing category i mean people

53
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:49,360
who just want home security or if they want how the heck does this work

54
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,360
speaking of ease of use

55
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:57,519
okay the assembly process appears to have run into a bit of a snag

56
00:03:56,239 --> 00:04:01,760
so why don't we just look at the camera itself and we'll forget the assembly process we'll do that off camera so

57
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:04,879
we've also got an Ethernet port at the back that's 100 Ethernet which is all

58
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:10,159
you really need for a camera like this there's your power over here we have wps

59
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:13,200
so that means that if you have a wps supporting router all you have to do is

60
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:18,079
press the two buttons you don't have to bother with wireless passwords or anything like that

61
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:22,479
it'll automatically sync up there's a reset hole right here also some

62
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:26,160
ventilation slots in the top so let's assume there's something in there that's

63
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:29,360
producing a little bit of heat there's some disclaimers here about

64
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,720
class b digital apparatus as well as some more ventilation holes on this side

65
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,639
there are screws at the back for disassembling it there's another way to

66
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:41,199
mount the stand which i guess would be why you'd have it

67
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,400
straight up okay and then finally we look at the front of the camera itself

68
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:48,560
so there's your microphone hole this is going to be some kind of uh power

69
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:54,160
indicator led and then there's the lens itself which turns for some reason

70
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,520
i hope i'm not ruining it you know there's not a whole lot to say

71
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:01,040
in an unboxing of a camera which is why anytime we've done unboxings with

72
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:04,960
cameras in the past we always include uh some performance for it so uh stay tuned

73
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,600
we're definitely gonna show you how this camera performs and i actually did see a

74
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,039
live demo when our d-link rep came in to my work ncix cameraman if you want to

75
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,919
check out the office so we're just outside the office right now and he did

76
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:21,280
show one of these cameras set up in their office and he just

77
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,720
showed it to us on his iphone and it was actually pretty cool someone walked past

78
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:28,919
and it was pretty fluid so yeah stay tuned don't forget to subscribe
