PROS: The software is way better than the generic IP cameras. There are multiple output formats, and you can set different URLs for each format with the internal software. This has an IR filter so the colors look correct. This also has way clearer video than Foscam or Apexis. Everything works.
CONS: The day/night sensor seems to convert to night mode too quickly. This gives you a night vision view when there is still enough light to be using the day view. As a newer model, not as much support in phone apps. You can tell the app you have an older model and it will work though. The direct url stream seems to not include the sound.

Searched the web looking for a camera and reading all the reviews and seeing all of the horror stories I was certain I would be disappointed with my purchase. I was pleasantly surprised with this DCS 942L.
I placed this camera in my window pane pointing towards the front lawn. The picture is awesome, the motion sensor is awesome up to 50 feet (confirmed with my wife and a tape measure)
I tested it inside the house and it is awesome. The picture quality is scary. This is a great baby or pet monitor.
I wish D-Link made an affordable outdoor camera, I would purchase it too.
Pros:
1. Easy to set up. My wife and I set this one up in about 20 minutes.
2. Truth is I did have to call customer service to get the password for the advanced settings on the mydlink site. FYI admin is your username and the password is the same password you use to set up your camera on the mydlink site.
3. The mydlink site is intuitive. I have minimal to basic computer skills, and I was able to navigate it comfortably.
4. Viewing your camera from anywhere there is an Internet connection is awesome.
5. You can set the camera up to send you emails when the camera senses motion.
6. The camera can take 10 pics and a 10 second avi each time it senses motion in an area you select.
Con:
1. The arm to adjust the camera is plastic and flimsy. You want it to lock it in but it is just to cheap.
That is it for cons for me. For $150 bucks I was not expecting a HD camera. I just want video proof of who is in my yard, maybe even catch the dog in the act and show its owner the proof.

Amazon Verified Purchase
This is my first network camera so I can't compare it to earlier or other models. The quality of the picture is good. I intentionally have it connected with an Ethernet cable so the setup was super easy. I had to call technical support for one minor issue and the tech person answered my question quickly and I was good to go. Updated the firmware without any problems. Accessed my camera away from home via the mydlink web site and it worked great. I would recommend this to my family and friends.
