Camera
Congratulations on purchasing your camera from Linksys! Linksys has the only two cameras
that are Wi-Fi certified in the United States, one of which is the WVC210.
Camera LCD Screen and Built-in Microphone
The camera has a LCD screen that indicates the camera’s current IP address and whether it is a
fixed or dynamic address. If the camera uses a fixed IP address, then the screen will display the
word “FIXED.” If the camera uses a dynamic IP address, then the screen will display the word
“DHCP.”
The built-in microphone is located approximately one inch below the LCD screen, in the middle
of the camera’s front panel. It has a range of approximately 9 feet (3 meters), depending on
environmental conditions.
Camera LEDs
The camera has four LEDs to let you know how the camera is functioning.

Overview
Before you set up the camera, connect it to a wired or wireless network. Refer to the following
sources for additional information:
•
WVC200/210 Quick Install Guide
•
Linksys Video Surveillance Application User Guide
If you need to move the camera from a wired network to a wireless network, or vice versa, go to
this section, “Moving the Camera to a Different Network.”
Camera Installation Guidelines
Consider the following guidelines before installing and mounting your cameras. While the
detection window and the degree of sensitivity can be optimized later, it is best to optimize
your camera location first.
•
Choose a location that provides adequate coverage of the area to be monitored.
•
If using the microphone in the camera, note that the cameras are designed to pick up
audio from a distance (unlike a web camera that you would place near you.)
•
If using an external microphone or speaker, place the microphone far enough away
from the speaker to avoid feedback. The volume of the speaker and the background
noise of the environment will determine the exact distance, possibly up to one yard
(one meter) away.
•
Cameras mounted outdoors should be installed in an IP66-certified enclosure to protect
the camera from the elements, while maintaining acceptable operating temperatures. If
an enclosure is used, an external microphone is required for audio.
•
If using motion detection, consider potential sources of false positives, such as trees and
shrubs, drastic light changes, wandering animals, and traffic.
