Learn how to setup your HomeCamera-enhanced DCS-2120 wireless camera

If you have not already launched the Installation Wizard, please do so now.

If this is the first time you are using this camera, please follow the Basic Setup first - this is where you tell the camera how to find your wireless network, enter your network security settings, and, optionally, create an Administrator password. When the Basic Setup is complete, you’ll see the following screen:

Click “Yes” to proceed.

Please enter the data you see on the following screen:

Enter your HomeCamera User ID (this is the complete email address you used when you signed up with HomeCamera) and your HomeCamera password (this is case-sensitive, so “c” is different from “C” - please enter this carefully; don’t be concerned if you can’t see the complete password - you can enter up to 15 characters).
Against “HomeCamera Server Address” and “Streaming Server Address”, enter: www.homecamera.com
Against “HomeCamera Server Port”, enter 8900
Against “Streaming Server Port”, enter 8999
Enter a name for your camera - do not use spaces or any special characters (such as “,.!#@ etc)
Leave the setting for “Private” as “Yes” - this setting is not currently used by HomeCamera; regardless of what you choose, the server will reset it to “Private”, so only you have access to your camera.
Enter a camera description, if you like.

Click “Next” in the left navigation bar to continue.

You will then see this and click "Apply".

The settings will be saved in your camera and your camera will connect to the HomeCamera server.

Login to your account on www.homecamera.com - you will now see your camera. You can proceed to access it just as you would any other webcam.

Two important points to note:

Video clips from the DCS-2120 include sound.
Depending on the amount of motion in a picture, the video clip duration might be more or less than 10 seconds. If there is very little motion, the video clip duration could be as long as 20 seconds. Consequently, it may take upwards of 30 seconds to access video clips from this camera.
