Go in and look around on the Drop Cam website. They have both of the cameras pointed out a window in San Francisco. You can tune in a few times a day and get a good feel for the difference. Not sure about at night as I do not think the little cameras infrared lights will go very far. But, will give you and idea. My strong suggestion is to give up on the D-Link and go to the bright side of the force.

That is one of the many reasons why I got did of the d link. It wouldn't work correctly with my phone especially over LTE. I got a dropcam no problems since start up time about 10 min. No fuss.

Did you Tap the screen and then hold it and drag you finger in direction you wanted to move it. This could take a couple of times and getting use to. A little move of finger is a big move.

I got the drop cam pro. Differences between Drop Cam (DC) and Drop Cam Pro (DCP) are field of vision DC 107 deg, DCP 130 deg. DC 4x zoom, DCP 8 x Zoom, DC low light great, DCP Excellent, DC 2.4 Gz DCP 1.4//5 GHZ. The camera is tiny. I would guess it is about the size of a pack of short cigarettes. Suzanne, I would imagine the one you needs would depend on what you want to use it for. google difference between drop cam and drop cam pro. It takes you to the drop cam website whre it shows the difference in the picture. and discusses the difference in the cameras.

Ever since D-link updated the firmware, this cam moves easily with an Android phone. This D-Link Cloud cam is also wireless and there is no charge to use the mydlink.com website to view it unlike Drop Cam. We rely on D-link Cloud cams for our home security and they all perform very well.

I bought the ip cam viewer app and was able to set it up see it on the same network but once I leave the network it wont work. Something about the ip address not being static but always changing. I was unsuccessful in setting up the record either since I'm not an IT guy. I think unless you really know networking it's pretty complicated for a noob like myself. There are couple of free ip camera viewers out there so check it out. I'm able to view, pan, and tilt with the one I got. Just wish I knew how to take advantage of the full potential. Sorry I couldn't have been a better help.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I can get the menu to display (the DMPort menu), but no video or pictures.Interested in any feedback from anyone who has tried this.

You can view your camera from a laptop or mobile device with an app. This camera now sits in my drawer as it is WAAAY to difficult to set up. I use DropCam now as it is light years ahead in user friendliness. I do not recommend this camera.

You will need to down load the app cam viewer on your phone and follow the instructions.

Yeah, you should just try to find a webcam that claims to be Android compatible if you can find it, and just do some research online to find one that suits your needs. There are people that use this with webcam and mouse/keyboard, and even a DVD drive like a full computer. Best of luck!

My android recently updated and the app no longer works. It crashes every time I open it. My app still works on my pc. App on un-updated tablet also still works. Can no longer find the app in the app store and their website is no longer working. HELP! Any other apps work for IP cams?

Absolutely, there are a number of free Android apps. I use IP Cam Viewer by Robert Chou, he has two free versions. I have also tried TinyCam Monitor and still have on my phone, but use the other regularly. You need to set up Dynamic DNS service before you can use it. Here is a link to some freebie and pay services. http://dnslookup.me/dynamic-dns/ Hope this helps.

you probably didn't turn on your S-view function. it's located in the settings somewhere

I tried using the smartphone app for android and just could not get it to work (Evo 4G), an issue that seemed to be common based on forum posts. I just downloaded IP Cam Viewer from the Play store and it worked flawlessly after a simple setup. So if you run into the same issue, just grab that app and you're gtg.

When I go to add the software from the website..it states that I should plug in the camera, when i open the devices on the computer, I see that the webcam is there..But it is not allowing me to install it..and it doesnt just plug in and go from there so I had to go on the website they provided to download the software or something...

I download by taking the SD card out , put it into my Moultrie hand-viewer , download all onto it . Put the SD card back in the cam & erase all , set it & lock it then off to the next cam . I have 5 cams out there & this works quick & quiet . Bring the hand-viewer home , plug it into my PC & look at all the pics on a 40" HD TV screen .

On mine the motion detection and email notification do not work. When I looked for a firmware update it appears they have abandoned it (unless they have done something in the last few months). I generally use it with a third party app such as WebCam XP to send me email on motion, but that is annoying as you have to run your computer all the time and when it freezes and you're away, your dead in the water.

It may be that you have inadvertantly turned the IS function off. Check your user manual to make sure you know what should be displayed to indicate the IS is on. Even if it is you still have to hold the camera reasonably still, all cameras.

I believe this feature is on the camera have no idea how to use it and probably never will

Barry! I just read now in the manual: Motion detection ON (enable) OFF (off). Try this when you connect 12 VDC to camera. It should detect motion. I never used this function either:-( Steve
