D-Link DCS-2530L review

D-Link's IP camera offers a 180-degree view wherever you need it

180-degree field of view without distortion ; Full HD video quality ; MicroSD slot for subscription-free storage ; Flexible setup preferences

Long-winded setup procedure ; Very basic supporting app ; Poor plastic build quality

If you can overlook the flimsy build quality and persevere with the long-winded setup process, this camera can give you a clear view of an entire room in Full HD resolution, while keeping you reliably informed via push notifications triggered by its...

D-Link DCS-2530L review

Instead of using a motor to move the camera for a wider view, this new security camera has a true 180 degree lens. Here's our D-Link DCS-2530L review.

The DCS-2530L is a decent camera which gives you the kind of view you’d traditionally need a pan and tilt camera to get. It records at full quality to a microSD card, too. However, it’s badly let down by a clunky app and web portal. Plus, at this high...

D-Link DCS-2530L Review

The D-Link 2530L captures excellent audio and daylight video, but only so-so night video. While the software is well-designed and easy to use, it's missing some key functionality and depth. When testing the apps and web portal remotely, we were often...

Intuitive, easy-to-master software ; Excellent daylight video & audio quality ; Real-time ambient sound measure to help set sound detection sensitivity

No sharing ; No cloud storage ; Unreliable connection ; Limited scheduling and other functionality

The small, inconspicuous D-Link DCS-2530L produces excellent daylight video and one-way audio, but its night-vision video is merely adequate.

D-Link DCS-2530L Full HD 180 Degree WiFi Camera

Technology keeps moving forward. It wasn't too long ago that we reviewed the 2630L and here we have a follow up model to that, the 2530L. While it lacks two way audio, everything else is basically the same. It is also half the size and draws less...
