Features 

P-iris 

The P-iris lens in the DCS‐7513 solves the long-standing problem of capturing sharp images in varying light conditions. The the DCS‐7513 optimizes 

the iris opening under all lighting conditions and the result is images with better contrast, clarity, resolution and depth of field with improved image 

sharpness and increased image usability for network video surveillance. 

Remote Zoom & Focus 

The remote focus function eliminates the need for manual focusing at the camera position and allowing the user to make key adjustments from 

any computer. The remote zoom functionality allows the user to make final adjustments to the zoom from the computer. It provides a convenient 

way to ensure that the viewing angle is optimized for the scene and required need for resolution. 

Wide Dynamic Range 

Wide Dynamic Range technology neutralizes imperfect lighting, providing clear images with the right amount of contrast even when a subject is 

backlit 

Automatic Thermostat Temperature Regulation 

The DCS-7513 monitors and automatically regulates its temperature to ensure it can perform at its optimal ability. It balances fan use against a built 

in heater based on a range of preset thermostatic settings. This gives the DCS-7513 the ability to perform in the most demanding of environments. 

Remote Monitoring Utility 

The D-ViewCam application adds enhanced features and functionality for the Network Camera and allows administrators to configure and access 

the Network Camera from a remote site via Intranet or Internet. Other features include image monitoring, recording images to a hard drive, viewing 

up to 32 cameras on one screen, and taking snapshots. 

IR LED for Day and Night Functionality 

The built-in infrared LEDs enables night time viewing of up to 30 meters (98 feet). 

IP66 Weatherproof Housing 

The DCS‐7513 uses an IP66 weatherproof housing, allowing you to rest assured that in the toughest of conditions, it will continue to provide roundthe-clock 

surveillance. 

PoE (Power over Ethernet) for Flexible Installation

Set the video codec to be used to JPEG, MPEG-4, or 

H.264. 

Frame size determines the total capture resolution, and 

View window area determines the Live Video viewing 

window size. If the Frame size is larger than the Live 

Video size, you can use the ePTZ controls to look around. 

16:9 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 720, 800 x 450, 640 x 

360, 480 x 270, 320 x 176, 176 x 144 up to 30

fps 

Note: If your View window area is the same as your Frame 

size, you will not be able to use the ePTZ function. 

A higher frame rate provides smoother motion for 

videos, and requires more bandwidth. Lower frame 

rates will result in stuttering motion, and requires less 

bandwidth.

for the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation, from the date of original retail purchase of the Software for a period of ninety (90) 

days (“Software Warranty Period”), provided that the Software is properly installed on approved hardware and operated as contemplated in its 

documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the Software Warranty Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be 

free of physical defects. The customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will 

be, at D-Link’s option, to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially conforms to D-Link’s functional 

specifications for the Software or to refund the portion of the actual purchase price paid that is attributable to the Software. Except as otherwise 

agreed by D-Link in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the 

license granted by D-Link for the Software. Replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period and is subject 

to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it 

is not practical to replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by 

D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software 

for which a refund is given automatically terminates. 

Non-Applicability of Warranty: 

The Limited Warranty provided hereunder for Hardware and Software portions of D-Link’s products will not be applied to and does not cover any 

refurbished product and any product purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the sellers, or 

the liquidators expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining to the product and in that case, the product is being sold “As-Is” without any 

warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the Limited Warranty as described herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary.
