D-Link IP Cameras for Home => DCS-8010LH => Topic started by: MikeSD on April 07, 2019, 07:04:21 PM

I go to my web portal and to view my cameras, and the cloud cameras have a notice that I have to download an app to my phone to view those cameras. Ridiculous.
Are those cloud cameras only useful, with the App (like the DCS-8010LH)?
Those cloud cameras seem to be only useful, with a paid subscription. Have I wasted my money buying one of those? I do NOT want to be tied to any subscriptions.
Example: My DCS-936L (almost identical to DCS-8010LH)
* can be viewed and controlled by the web portal.
* It can also be accessed directly, via any browser.
* It can also be setup to send push notifications, on motion detection.
Can the 8010LH do any of this? I've tried setting a motion detection, on the 8010LH, but I get no notifications, and don't see anywhere where I can setup places to send videos or store videos, or sent push messages to any phone I like, as I can with the DCS-936L.
What am I missing here?

I have the same problem. I can't find web portail to configure my camera...
I cannot change the default password...
Did you found the good way to use this DCS-8010LH ?

The DCS-8xxxLH series camera do NOT work on the mydlink portal....yet. It is being worked on. They were designed to be app-only. The 8010 is basically the same camera as the 936 but it is app-only. If you like the feature set of the 936, you should stick with that camera. Not all cameras have the same features. If they did, D-Link would sell 5, not 30+.
