FAQ

What devices does the mydlink app support?

The mydlink app supports a wide range of D-Link devices including security cameras (DCS-8000LH, DCS-8300LH, DCS-8525LH, DCS-8630LH, DCS-2132L, DCS-930L, DCS-5025L, DCS-825L, DCS-935L, DCS-5222L, and more), smart plugs (DSP-W115, DSP-W245, DSP-P113), motion sensors, water sensors, and smart home hubs (DCS-H100). Older DCS-xxxL models work for basic functions but may lack advanced features like cloud recording. A complete list of supported devices is available on the D-Link website.

Is the mydlink app free to use?

Yes, the mydlink app is free to download and use. Core features like live viewing, motion/sound detection alerts, and device management are available at no cost. Optional cloud recording subscriptions are available: Lite ($0.99/month), Basic ($2.49/month), Premium ($4.99/month), Pro ($9.99/month), and Pro Plus ($19.99/month). Each plan offers increasing storage capacity and recording features. Annual subscriptions offer savings compared to monthly billing.

How do I set up a camera with the mydlink app?

Setting up a camera with mydlink is straightforward: 1) Download the mydlink app from the App Store or Google Play. 2) Create a mydlink account or sign in. 3) Tap the '+' button to add a new device. 4) Scan the QR code or enter the PIN printed on your camera. 5) Select your Wi-Fi network (must be 2.4 GHz). 6) Name your device and assign it a location. The app will guide you through each step with on-screen instructions. Setup typically takes just a few minutes.

What Wi-Fi requirements does mydlink have?

mydlink cameras and devices connect to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks (802.11 b/g/n). They do not support 5 GHz networks. Ensure your router broadcasts a 2.4 GHz network before setting up your device. For best performance, place your camera within a reasonable range of your router and ensure a stable internet connection for smooth live streaming and cloud recording.

Does mydlink support voice control?

Yes, mydlink integrates with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. You can use voice commands to view camera feeds on compatible smart displays (like Google Nest Hub or Amazon Echo Show), turn smart plugs on/off, and check device status. To set up voice control, link your mydlink account in the Google Home or Amazon Alexa app.

How does mydlink cloud recording work?

mydlink cloud recording stores your camera footage securely in the cloud, eliminating the need for local storage devices like microSD cards or NVRs. You can choose from five subscription tiers (Lite through Pro Plus) based on your storage needs. Cloud recordings can be accessed, downloaded, and shared from the mydlink app. Recordings are encrypted and stored on secure servers. A 14-day free trial is available for new users to test the cloud features.

Can I access mydlink from a computer?

Yes, mydlink offers a web portal at my.mydlink.com that allows you to access your cameras and devices from a desktop or laptop browser. The web portal provides live viewing, playback, and basic device management. For the full set of features including automation rules, push notifications, and device setup, use the mydlink mobile app on iOS or Android.

What should I do if my mydlink camera is not connecting?

If your camera won't connect, try these steps: 1) Ensure your Wi-Fi is 2.4 GHz (not 5 GHz). 2) Move the camera closer to your router during setup. 3) Restart your camera and router. 4) Make sure you're running the latest version of the mydlink app. 5) Update your camera's firmware via the app. 6) Try removing and re-adding the device in the app. If problems persist, contact D-Link support or visit the D-Link support forums for model-specific troubleshooting.

Very nice camera! Bought this camera on a whim and it took longer driving to the store than setting up the WiFi. Really enjoying watching the pets and spouse while away from home. Great security camera for the price.

Good but not what I expected. Camera loads with delays and freezes frequently. I expected real-time monitoring for emergency situations but the app performance can be hit or miss depending on your connection.

Fix the app, please! Motion alerts don't always work reliably, and the app sometimes requires repeated terms acceptance. Otherwise, the live view quality is decent when it works properly.

Solid camera app from D-Link. The cloud recording feature works well and the Google Assistant integration is seamless. Setup was quick with the QR code. Only wish the motion detection AI was a bit smarter.

Been using mydlink for 2 years to monitor the house while at work. The live feed is reliable and I love the scheduling feature for smart plugs. Cloud plans are reasonably priced compared to competitors.

Good surveillance app with reliable live streaming. The multi-camera dashboard makes it easy to monitor different areas. Cloud recording works smoothly with the Basic plan. Would love to see 5GHz WiFi support added.

Does the job for basic home security. Motion detection zones are useful. The app could use a UI refresh and faster loading times, but the core camera functionality is solid.

Using it with three DCS-8000LH cameras. Setup was straightforward and the Alexa integration works perfectly. Night vision quality is good. The event timeline makes reviewing footage easy.

Perfect for keeping an eye on my dogs during the day. The motion alerts are quick and the snapshot previews in notifications save time. Two-way audio is great for talking to them remotely!

Using mydlink cameras in my small retail shop. The multi-camera view is handy and cloud recording gives me peace of mind. Wish the app had better export options for recorded clips and more detailed event filtering.
