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

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:

Step 2: Access the Web-based Camera Configuration Tool

Once you have found the camera's IP address, launch a web browser and enter the address of

your camera.

http://IP_ADDRESS/

It will pop up a logon dialog as follows:

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.
