Product Overview

Introduction

D-Link DCS-6517 is an outdoor vandal-proof fixed dome camera equipped with industry-leading 5 megapixel resolution and H.264 compression.
The DCS-6517 connects to a network to provide high-quality live video over the Internet. This camera is capable of capturing video in both dark
and light environments thanks to its built-in IR LEDs and IR-cut removable (ICR) filter. The ICR filter can be manually applied via the web, or set to
automatically adjust based on lightning conditions. This feature allows the camera to capture crisp color images during the daytime and detailed
grayscale images at night or in or low-light conditions.
The DCS-6517 is equipped with metal housing certified by IK-10 criterion which protect the camera from damage. The built-in removable IR-cut
filter and IR LEDs give the DCS-6517 the capability to view up to 20 meters at night. The ability to use Power over Ethernet (PoE) also allows it to
be easily installed in a variety of locations without the need for supplemental power cabling. The built-in MicroSD card slot can be used as a local
backup by storing important events on an easily retrievable MicroSD card.
The included D-Link D-ViewCam™ is sophisticated software which allows users to manage up to 32 network cameras, set e-mail alert
notifications, create recording schedules, and use motion detection to record directly to a hard drive. D-ViewCam™ also allows users to upload a
floor plan to create a realistic layout of the premises where cameras are located, further simplifying the management process.
