today we're going to be doing an unboxing of something we've never really done on my Linus tech tips channel this is a wireless n network camera from d-link and the biggest improvement over previous wireless and network cameras is that they're saying it is really really easy to use they also have this my d-link portal which enables a lot of the ease-of-use features so here's one thing you do that you can just get this sticker up you can see this sticker was thrown onto the box at the last minute because now supports and this is brand new iPhone monitoring of your camera so you just download a little iPhone app you sign into my d-link and you can use it to monitor whatever your camera is set up to look at so you know I could set one up at home and then if I had an iPhone which I am planning to get I'm planning to get an iPhone 4 yes I know about the reception issues etc etc but cameraman has convinced me he has convinced me he says there are no reception issues and there are no problems and an Apple does everything really really well so I'm gonna be getting an iPhone 4 I'm on like a waiting list for it not in any particular hurry so why don't we have a look at some of the features of this camera it is Wireless in for one thing ok that's a feature good other features should we talk about minimum requirements if you have a reasonably modern PC that's not going to be an issue aa feature is remotely off monitor your home or office over the Internet it does it has a 1 Lux sensitivity sensor for low-light recording ok has a 16 X digital zoom a digital zoom I never really recommend using it because you can always just like zoom in on the image later there's no there's no need to use a digital zoom wireless and built-in microphone oh it has sound recording that's pretty good use those mjpeg I think you can read all this if you really want to there you go when you're working let's find out what's included here is a little QuickStart guide tells you how to contact their Live Support okay also located inside here so there's the Quick Start Guide there's the warranty info presumably ok ok something in French and then we have a start here DVD I would actually recommend using this because the whole idea behind this thing is that you just pop in the disc and then it all works quickly and easily inside here we will find mounting hardware okay so we got some screws you've got some other screws and brackets a little standard metal stand nice I assume that was going to be plastic but that's actually got like some here that it's got some heft to it ok let's see what else we got in here we have a power adapter that will power the camera we have two wireless and ready antennas not that it's an antenna particularly needs to be Wireless and ready but there we are why don't we put that on there so we're just going to assemble the camera you can see the two antennas go on the back here I think d-link recommends this for use with something like their dir-655 which happens to be a router that I have in my fleet so I will definitely try this out this is a product that I will most assuredly do like a video showing you guys exactly how well it works so that you don't have to spend your hard-earned cash on it without without knowing that it's awesome and I'm also just kind of curious too because I've never used an IP camera before it's the growing category I mean people who just want home security or if they want how the heck does this work speaking of ease of use huh okay the assembly process appears to have run into a bit of a snag so why don't we just look at the camera itself and we'll forget the assembly but we'll do that off camera so we've also got an Ethernet port at the back that's ten hundred Ethernet which is all you really need for a camera like this there's your power over here we have WPS so that means that if you have a WPS supporting router all you have to do is press the two buttons you don't have to bother with wireless passwords or anything like that it'll automatically sync up there's a reset hole right here also some ventilation slots in the top so let's assume there's something in there that's producing a little bit of heat there's some disclaimers here about class B digital apparatus as well as some more ventilation holes on this side there's screw that the back for disassembling it there's another way to mount the stand which I guess would be why you'd have it straight up okay and then finally we look at the front of the camera itself so there's your microphone wall this is gonna be some kind of power indicator LED and then there's the lens itself which turns for some reason I hope I'm not ruining it you know there's not a whole lot to say in an unboxing of a camera which is why any time we've done unboxings with cameras in the past we always include some performance for it so stay tuned we're definitely going to show you how this camera performs and I actually did see a live demo when our d-link rep came in to my work and cix never met if you want to check out the office so we're just outside the office right now and he did show one of these cameras set up in their office and he just showed it to us on his iPhone and it was actually pretty cool someone walked past and it was pretty fluid so yeah stay tuned don't forget to subscribe
