The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => IP Cameras => DCS-930L => Topic started by: Onthesamepath on March 10, 2012, 03:20:17 PM

I have a DCS-930 running successfully on my home network. Now I want to set up a DCS-932 on a different network at my mother's house in another city, so I can monitor her house from a distance. Questions:
1. After installing, will I be able to see both cameras at mydlink.com if they are on different networks?
2. Is installation any different because there are 2 networks?
3. Can I use the existing install wizard on the laptop that I used with the 1st installation or should I use my mother's PC?
4. How do I get started since the first instruction is to insert and use the CD that came with the new camera?
Basically I want to know what the install procedure is if I am using a different network but the same laptop I used with the 1st one. The laptop has a wireless connection to both networks.

Not absolutely sure with this but would imagine if you use the same email address and password cannot see why not!!!

1. After installing, will I be able to see both cameras at mydlink.com if they are on different networks?
-You'll be able to see both of the cameras if you registered them on the same mydlink account. Since the DCS-932L will be on a different location, connecting on the same network would be impossible but then again, they can be on the same mydlink account
2. Is installation any different because there are 2 networks?
- Nope. Even if the two cameras are of different networks, the setup would just be the same.
3. Can I use the existing install wizard on the laptop that I used with the 1st installation or should I use my mother's PC?
- Put it this way: the DCS-932L will be a different camera on a different location so if there is a computer on you mom's house (assuming it is already online), use that.
4. How do I get started since the first instruction is to insert and use the CD that came with the new camera?
- Use the setup disc and just follow the instructions. Again, consider you DCS-932L as a new and different camera and do not think about your other camera
Basically I want to know what the install procedure is if I am using a different network but the same laptop I used with the 1st one. The laptop has a wireless connection to both networks.
- Just follow the steps provided on the setup wizard. Any computer would do, it does not matter if it was used on the previous camera or a new one. Keep in mind: CONSIDER YOUR DCS-932L A NEW/DIFFERENT CAMERA. But you can register it on your existing mydlink account so that you can view two cameras at a time.

Expanding on this point, the install wizard application is camera agnostic, meaning that the wizard application can be used with any DCS-932L. Each DCS-932L is uniquely identified via a serial number encoded in the camera hardware.
