Title: How is the audio performance for 5030L?
Post by: happyhere on January 21, 2017, 06:13:02 PM

I have 3x942L, 6010L, 2x960L, 5222L, 930L and 2x5020L.
The 5020L have the best microphone and the audio listening on iPhone via mydlink lite is the best, it is loud and you can hear clearly.

Anyone with 5030L that have comparison with other dlink cam?

Does your 960L have gremlins?

I like the 2210L.  It's clear, no static or interal gremlins running around making noise inside the camera like the 960L/2630L.

Hopefully, if I see I good deal on a 2230L I'll get it.

the mic on 960L is fine and clear, but you have to max out the iPhone's speaker to hear some audio, need headset to really hear it.

Iphones don't have the best audio for the speaker.

yes iPhone is not that best audio, but the playing it thru Mydlink Lite app is quite useful :)

my personal experience audio playback on iOS Mydlink (via 4G or wifi), based order
5020L - clear and loud audio, can hear outside room noise too. thumbs up for this
5222L - clear and fine audio. thumbs up for this
960L - acceptable audio, needs headset to clearly hear if you are in bus or train
942L - I have 3 of these with different purchase date in span of 2years. unusable audio, needs headset, there is always static after several firmware
932L - it died on me less than 18 months. audio is same as 942L

my next purchase plan is maybe the 5030L as it is a new model, so an audio review is nice :)

update..
the audio performance of 5030L is almost at par with 5020L.  No static and clear. 
Perhaps the 50x0L models have near identical mic.
no need to use headset when using mydlink lite app in iPhone.  you can hear it loud already :)
