The 2630 is an ok camera, a bit technical though.
Review on 08.18.2017
The D-link DCS-2630L is an ok camera. But it is very technical to set it up and maintain. If you are not very technical then I would recommend going with dropcam or nest cam if needing something easier to use. For those that love technical stuff, then this camera has lots of features and dlink usually provides even more with each firmware update.
Some of the current tech features include save and send pics or vids to email, sd card, ftp, network recorder, and live view; these can be continuous, interval, or by sound or motion. Day and night mode time control, no ir control yet. Also ddns support. Different video resolution profiles, 2 or 3 depending on firmware. Web url when on local network, sorta complicated. Wps enabled.
In 1080 resolution the video quality is ok and relatively clear up to about 15 feet, based on clarity of zooming in, past 20 feet becomes grainy. Audio can sometimes pick up random electrical sounds, but is perfectly usable most of the time.
The best feature is the 180 degree field of view with dewarping technology, I really like this, I can see almost an entire room with it.
The not good. Camera runs hot normally, about 110 degree F on average. Can have some difficulties with IPv6 or xfinity. Set up is technical and may require many attempts. Wifi only, no Ethernet connection. Currently no IR LED manual control, IRs depend on day and night modes. No adaptive contrast, or WDR like the 2530, can be too dark or light in areas of high contrast like during a bright sunny day. And the camera is on the large size at about 3.25 inch wide by 5.75 inch tall with 3.25 inch diameter base.
Overall though I am happy with my dlink wifi IP cameras.
