Review on ๐Ÿ“ท D-Link WiFi Security Camera HD 2-Pack: Cloud Recording, Motion Detection, Night Vision - Works with ALEXA (DCS-8000LH/2PK-US) by Edwin Kreps

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good camera, Google Home integration broken/missing

I bought these for home security. They replaced the old 932L and 5020L. I like it better than the two old models. The 120ยฐ coverage is superior to all previous models and even eliminates the need for a pan/tilt coverage. They have the ability to listen from afar, which is nice, but they lack the ability to object. The only real catch is the lack of a GUI for changing the settings. This made it difficult to set up remote viewing in my IP camera viewer application, but I was able to figure it out. That lack of an interface doesn't really stop it from being downgraded. Enjoy! 4/29/18 Dlink claims to have added support for Google Assistant. There doesn't seem to be any official documentation on their product website and I can't use the commands from their twenty-second YouTube video on my life. For now, it seems like the only integration is having your compatible cameras included in the home control devices section of Google Home. Besides, it's useless.
