D-Link's mydlink Camera Video Recorder offers complete video management with simultaneous recording, playback and searching.

D-Link has introduced its mydlink Camera Video Recorder (DNR-202L), which offers homeowners and small business users an easy way to set up, record and manage video captured from the company's mydlink-enabled Network Cloud Cameras for IP surveillance needs.

Recording to an off-the-shelf USB hard drive, the mydlink Camera Video Recorder offers the company's Cloud Camera customers a robust security solution, supporting simultaneous 4-channel recording and real-time playback for up to four mydlink cameras with customizable motion detection and triggered recording capabilities. The Camera Video Recorder provides two USB ports for cost effective and easy storage expansion, and can be used locally or remotely via the mydlink portal or mobile app with no monthly fees.

The Camera Video Recorder supports up to four mydlink-enabled cameras and provides real-time monitoring, playback and recording all at the same time without the need for a dedicated PC. For easy remote viewing, the mydlink technology allows users to playback video and view live video streams using a web browser or remotely on an iOS or Android mobile device via the free mydlink View-NVR app from anywhere in the world with a Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G connection.
