D-Link launches new outdoor WiFi Camera – DCS-8600LH

D-Link has expanded it’s range of home security cameras with a new WiFi camera specifically for the outdoors.

Don’t be deceived, there is a wire required for the main camera unit

While it’s not wire-free, it’s WiFi so only a single power cable is required and constant power means constant recording and no need to change batteries.

Competing with products like the Nest IQ it gives you a great view of your front yard, the side of the house or the back wherever you place it.

You can add it to your existing D-Link cameras on the mydlink app or use it stand alone.

With two way audio you can even talk to people you see on the camera.

Plus, it works with Google and Alexa so you can summon your camera onto a screen by asking Google. Easy!

  • 135 degree wide-angle field of view
  • IP65 waterproof housing
  • Operating temperature range from -25 to 45 degrees Celsius
  • 7 metres night vision
  • Two-way audio with built-in microphone and speaker
  • Motion detection and cloud recording
  • Works with the Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and IFTTT

D-Link ANZ MD Graeme Reardon said, “D-Link customers are increasingly using smart home devices via voice control. As we continue to innovate, our products’ compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant are a priority for D-Link.”

You’ll find it online and at retailers for $275.95.
