D-Link has introduced two new smart AI-based camera systems to its mydlink range, providing sophisticated artificial intelligence, seam-in-the-dark capability and increased interoperability.
The DCS-8526LH Full HD Pan / Tilt Pro Wi-Fi Camera and the DCS-8630LH Full HD Outdoor Wi-Fi Spotlight Camera both feature state-of-the-art target identification with AI technology, allowing for more sophisticated monitoring capability and personal control for any smart home.
The DCS-8630LH also has an integrated spotlight to help users see in the dark.
The cameras are interoperable with other devices in the mydlink ecosystem, and they also work with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, as well as comply with the ONVIF standard, allowing seamless recording to external devices such as the NAS or NVR.
Additionally, both cameras feature built-in Bluetooth for fast and easy setup, both cloud and local recording options, and support remote viewing and management via the free mydlink app.
“The cameras’ improved artificial intelligence cleverly detects human activity, ensuring that they are not activated by the likes of a cat, bird or passing car that may reach the viewing area,” says D-Link.
“Edge-based technology also processes information on the device locally so theres no need to send video to the cloud for processing, speeding up alert response times and ensuring you receive alerts only when a real person is detected. A passive infrared (PIR) sensor further reduces false triggers so you only see what you want and need to see.”
D-Link says privacy is one of the main issues nowadays with IoT apps and Wi-Fi networks. Both new mydlink cameras feature the latest and most reliable 128-bit encryption industry standard ensuring greater protection across devices and networks for users, the company says.
“Another clever and useful feature involves the cameras built-in microphone and speaker, providing a 2-way audio service for you to both speak and listen to delivery drivers, children and other people and pets that are within earshot of the cameras, via your mobile device.”

There’s also a Privacy Mode on the DCS-8526LH that can be turned on with the mydlink app and when it is, the cameras lens is covered completely giving you maximum control over your privacy whenever you need it.
To ensure you see what you want and don’t miss any crucial movement, the DCS-8526LH employs built-in infrared LEDs and auto motion tracking turning the camera into an all-seeing, highly-responsive, roving eye that pans and tilts to automatically track targets no matter where they move, day or night.
