I came across this product in an article and decided to try it out. It is very easy to set up, settings can be changed easily, the video is very clear and I really like getting emails based on the motion censor. I access it from remote sites, change settings, etc.
The color in the daytime is top notch. I am using it at my office to monitor the parking lot and will use the other 2 I ordered to provide other views of the driveway and entrance door.
I will likely order a couple for home as well. For the price it is really an outstanding value.

I put this camera at my entrance to catch break-ins.
The best thing about it is the advertising and the home page at DLink corporate site.
Do not buy for security purposes:
1 - no time date stamp in image, useless for prosecution
2 - really destructive compression on high-quality JPEG
3 - tech support says motion detection works best on AUTO frames, set for an odd 10 frames per second that is never able to record or up load even 3 frames per second. I never got the image I needed of the thief. Got the back, head back, his hand reaching for the door. But no continuous frames.
Also: firmware upgrade was needed before beta-Mac Installer worked.
Notify email sent so many empty clips that my gmail was shut down due more than 500 emails.

The DCS-932L is a super security camera provided that your wireless network is reliable. It is easy to set up and use. The internet setup to your smartphone is a snap. Have not mastered the advanced settings for email alerts yet due to a bug in the software.

Comments about D-Link DCS-932L Wireless N Day/Night Home Network Camera:
I bought a D-Link Wireless N camera and was not at all satisfied with it. The help when I called the number on the D-Link Website was marginal. The camera only works with one browser (IE4). It would not work at all with the apps on the iPad or iPhone. I could not get the email function to work either. I have decided to try a different brand.

Comments about D-Link DCS-932L Wireless N Day/Night Home Network Camera:
I got this as an extra baby monitor, hence audio has been important for me as well as video.
Pro: What I got is a great day and night video signal which I can view on my iPhone/iPAD or any computer from anywhere (D-Link provides a free of charge set-up allowing to view the camera over the Internet which is cool).
Con: The sound quality is indeed (as commented by others here and elsewhere) rather poor (lots of feedback noise and poor audio transmission quality overall). I wonder if a plain codec update would solve the issue! D-Link, are you reading this?
Conclusion: it is an affordable solution for baby video monitoring. For audio, please look elsewhere.

Comments about D-Link DCS-932L Wireless N Day/Night Home Network Camera:
I find the angle of vision too narrow and the image too soft. This camera needs a wider-angle lens, but I suppose that would negate the need to buy two or three cameras to cover a reasonable area (i.e. they'll sell more units with a narrow angle lens). The audio feature is useless because of the static, which, apparently, D-Link has no plans on fixing. The Linksys WVC80N has a sharper picture and can handle sunny areas of the frame. The D-Link DCS-932L just washes-out to pure white in the sun. Not useful.
