Note: This document is not designed to replace the manufacturers’ product manual. The
information provided is based on our knowledge of the model D-Link DCS 2132L.It may not be
accurate or completely up-to-date. Users shall contact the manufacturer for all camera-related
issues and contact us only for CameraFTP-related (i.e. Cloud Service / FTP) issues. Most of the
setup steps below are camera related and are very trivial. If you have finished these basic steps
before, then you can skip Steps 1 and 2. CameraFTP’s service can be configured in just 3 steps
(i.e. Steps 3, 4 and 5).
Step 1: Connect Camera to the Network and Find Its IP Address
1.1 Connect Camera to the Network
There are two ways to connect the IP camera to the Wi-Fi network.
(1) If your Wi-Fi router does not support WPS, then you need to connect the camera using an
Ethernet cable first. You can configure the Wi-Fi settings in the camera's configuration pages
later.
(2) If your Wi-Fi access point/router supports WPS, then it is very easy to connect your device to
the network:
Turn on the camera, then press the WPS button on your Wi-Fi access point for 3 seconds; the
WPS button will usually start flashing. Quickly press the WPS button on the back side of
your camera and hold for a few seconds until the light changes. In about 1 minute, you will
see the status light (below the camera lens) changes to solid green, indicating it is connected
to the wireless router.
1.2 Find the Camera’s IP Address
Please refer to the manufacturer’s manual for more detailed information.
If your camera is connected to the Wi-Fi router, or if you have connected the camera with an
Ethernet cable, then you can run the manufacturer’s setup program to find the camera’s IP
address. From a PC in the same network, insert the camera’s software CD and run the auto-run
program - it will open the following window:
Click "Setup Your Camera" and follow the instructions. Select Next until it starts searching the
network for the camera. After it finishes, you will see this screen:
Note the default password is blank. After you selected the camera, it will ask you to create and
confirm a password. After you entered the password, clicking Next will bring you to setup your
network connection:
Follow the wizard to connect the camera to your network, and click Next. You will be offered to
sign up for mydlink service. Mydlink service is useful for live view and accessing your cameras
remotely. You can sign up for an account, or select "I don't want to sign up now".
CameraFTP’s service is different from mydlink service. We offer cloud-based storage for your
camera, which is much more secure than local storage or no storage. Also, we support cloud-
based live view and playback, so mydlink service is not necessary.
Click Next.
Finally, you will find a page that displays the camera's IP address:
Use the username: admin and the password you created in the Installation Wizard. If you did not
create a password, the default password is blank (It is recommended that you change the
password). After logging in, you will see the Live Video screen.
Once you are in your configuration pages, click Setup, and you will see the Setup Main screen:
With CameraFTP’s service, most regular setup steps are not required. (You can feel free to check
these steps, e.g. click "Time and Date" to set the camera time.)
Step 3. Configure Video/Audio or Image Profile Settings
Click Setup Audio and Video as shown below. You can configure the video and image
resolution; in the case of video, you can also configure the video frame rate and bit rate. You
only need to configure the Video Profile 1.
If you ordered an image plan, then all it matters is the frame size. This model camera cannot
specify upload frequency for image-based recording. It will always use 1 image/s, so make sure
this is what you ordered on CameraFTP.
If you ordered a video plan, please configure it as follows:
Mode: H.264;
Frame size: Based on your CameraFTP subscription level;
View Window Area: Same as Frame Size;
Max frame rate: Based on your subscription level. Set to 4 if subscription fps is 5.
Video quality: Set to constant bit rate. The number should be calculated as follows:
The Bit Rate is a little tricky. Setting it too high will use too much upload bandwidth, causing
failed uploads; setting it too low will affect the video quality. You can use our bandwidth
calculator to estimate the bandwidth. Visit www.cameraftp.com, click Pricing, and then
customize a service plan. See the screenshot below. (Note for estimating the bandwidth, Number
of Cameras should be set to 1.)
For the video plan of 1280x720, 5 frames/s, the estimated bandwidth is 486Kbps. So you can set
it to 512Kbps.
Click Save Settings (not to be confused with another Save button) to save the video profile.
Step 4. Configure Motion Detection Settings
If you ordered a plan with Motion Detection enabled, then you must configure Motion Detection.
Click Motion Detection as shown below. Check the "Enable Video Motion" checkbox. You can
draw a motion detection area and click Save Settings.
Motion detection is strongly recommended as it can lower your cost and dramatically reduce
bandwidth/storage usage. Moreover, motion detection makes it easier to play back the recorded
footage.
NOTE:
-This camera does not fully support continuous recording. It can only record a 1-minute video
clip every 2 minutes, or 10 images per minute.
-If you use your camera to monitor a busy scene such that the camera will be uploading for
longer than 10 hours/day, you should order the continuous recording plan even if you will
turn on motion detection. Otherwise, your camera may exceed the usage limit and be blocked.
Step 5. Configure the Events (i.e. FTP Server, Media Type and Event)
5.1 Configure the FTP Server Info
If you don’t have an account on CameraFTP, please visit www.cameraftp.com and sign up for a
free trial account. CameraFTP offers a 3-day free trial, after which time you will need to order a
subscription
Assuming you have an account on CameraFTP, click Event Setup, then click the Add button in
the Server section as shown below.
