This review is from: D-Link DCS-1100 Mydlink-enabled 10/100 Fixed IP Network Camera with Built-in Microphone (Electronics)

it works. i was a big purchaser of the DCS-5300. Quality (which is good) aside, I am sick of paying a price of $300.00 per camera. These DCS-1100 being 1/2 that price (not needing PTZ) are a good addition to a security system. Personally, I prefer a 16channel add-in board to a fast computer so I can get my camera & audio secured but when I work on client's offices and homes, these cameras are the quick and cheap way to put a fairly good system in place.

As far as the quality of the lens, focus, sound, it's just as good (or bad in your own opinion) as the other DLINK cameras. They're ok for lighted indoor areas. Never should it be used as a night vision or all-weather application..

The setup of a DLINK account was easy and I was up and running (after cat-5 and electric was supplied) in less than 5 minutes per camera.

I DID NOT YET GET THE CELL PHONE to view the JAVA screen. I tried a Windows Mobile phone with a quick-player app that was supposed to be able to open the camera's link and I got nothing. I triple checked my settings on the Camera's Web Admin interface and then triple checked the settings on the phone and still - nothing.
Oh well. I'll keep trying..... I've still to sit and try with a blackberry and IPhone4 this week. Other systems (AverDigi) work fine on Windows Mobile, Blackberry and IPhone.... (This is why I don't think it's me).

The DViewCam software is typical DLINK and now supports the DCS-1100 so there you have that. Nothing new to talk about with the software. It's good, it does the job.

What else to say, they're good, average cameras that puts an a fly on the wall for you. Personally, I wouldn't start with these cameras in my home ( I prefer AVER Digi 16ch PCIe add-in board). For work, I install these in offices where the customers want a $200.00 solution for a single camera or two or three and don't want to start with a $2,500.00 16 channel DVR to drop as an initial investment.
