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

00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:12.880
is a wireless end network camera from d-link and the biggest improvement over

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:17.600
previous wireless and network cameras is that they're saying it is really really

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

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:26.720
ease of use feature so here's one thing

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:30.560
can just get this sticker off you can see this sticker was thrown onto the box

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:36.559
at the last minute because my d-link now supports and this is brand

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:38.559
new uh iphone monitoring of your camera

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

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

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

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:55.039
planning to get an iphone 4 yes i know about the

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:58.239
reception issues etc etc but cameraman has convinced me

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:02.480
he has convinced me he says there are no reception issues

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:05.680
and uh there are no problems and and apple does everything really really well

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

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

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:19.439
thing okay that's a feature what other features should we talk about

00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:24.799
minimum requirements if you have a reasonably modern pc that's not going to

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:26.320
be an issue aha features remotely off

00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:31.119
monitor your home or office over the internet it does it has a one lux

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:35.200
sensitivity sensor for low light recording okay it has a 16x digital zoom

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:41.439
i'm digital zoom i never really recommend using it because you can always just um

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

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:49.600
uh wireless n built-in microphone oh it has sound recording that's pretty good

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:53.119
uses mjpeg i think you can read all this if you

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:56.079
really want to there you go

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

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:05.040
you how to contact their live support

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:11.200
okay also located inside here so there's the quick start guide there's the

00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:13.120
warranty info presumably okay

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:17.360
okay something in french and then we have a start here dvd i

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:21.440
would actually recommend using this because the whole idea behind this thing

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:25.440
is that you just pop in the disc and then it all works

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:30.560
quickly and easily inside here we will find mounting

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:34.560
hardware okay so we've got some screws we've got some uh other screws and

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.160
brackets a little stand oh it's metal stand nice i assume that was gonna be

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

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:45.680
okay let's see what else we got in here we have a power adapter

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:53.599
that will power the camera we have two wireless n

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:57.200
ready antennas not that it's uh an antenna particularly needs to be

00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:59.920
wireless and ready but there we are why don't we put that

00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:03.680
on there so we're just gonna assemble the camera

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:08.080
you can see the two antennas go on the back here

00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:12.800
um i think d-link recommends this for use with something like their dir-655

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

00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:22.000
this out this is a product that i will uh most

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:26.480
assuredly do like a uh a video showing you guys exactly how

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:30.560
well it works so that you don't have to spend your hard earned cash

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:35.200
on it without uh without knowing that it's awesome

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

00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:43.360
before it's a growing category i mean people

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:49.360
who just want home security or if they want how the heck does this work

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.360
speaking of ease of use

00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:57.519
okay the assembly process appears to have run into a bit of a snag

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:22.479
it'll automatically sync up there's a reset hole right here also some

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:26.160
ventilation slots in the top so let's assume there's something in there that's

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:29.360
producing a little bit of heat there's some disclaimers here about

00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:32.720
class b digital apparatus as well as some more ventilation holes on this side

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:36.639
there are screws at the back for disassembling it there's another way to

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:41.199
mount the stand which i guess would be why you'd have it

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.400
straight up okay and then finally we look at the front of the camera itself

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:48.560
so there's your microphone hole this is going to be some kind of uh power

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:54.160
indicator led and then there's the lens itself which turns for some reason

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

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:01.040
in an unboxing of a camera which is why anytime we've done unboxings with

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:04.960
cameras in the past we always include uh some performance for it so uh stay tuned

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:09.600
we're definitely gonna show you how this camera performs and i actually did see a

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

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:15.919
check out the office so we're just outside the office right now and he did

00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:21.280
show one of these cameras set up in their office and he just

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:24.720
showed it to us on his iphone and it was actually pretty cool someone walked past

00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:28.919
and it was pretty fluid so yeah stay tuned don't forget to subscribe
