After updating to version 3.5.0 Built 2430 of the mydlink Lite app,  the app shows the following symptom:

At launch, the app logo displays for a second or two,  but crashes right after displaying your iPhone home screen.

The fix will be coming on the next version. To currently fix the issue, do the following:
STEP 1.  Remove the app by tapping and holding the app icon for two seconds, tap the X on the upper left corner of the app icon to delete it.
STEP 2. Go back to the App store and re-download and install the app.
STEP 3.  You will  be able to run the app and login using your credentials.
That should do it…

 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our customers.

• Make sure your camera is turned on and receiving power.

• If you are setting up a new camera, make sure your smartphone or tablet is connected to the camera’s Wi-Fi signal (not your wireless router).

• The Wi-Fi network name should be [myBabyCam-XXXX], where XXXX is a 4-digit code (the last 4 digits of your camera’s MAC address).

• The Wi-Fi network name and password is printed on a label on the bottom of your camera and on the back of this install guide.

• If you still can’t find your camera, reset your camera by pressing its reset button for 10 seconds (while it is powered on).

The location of your D-Link camera in some cases may be the cause of any “static” or “feedback” sounds heard when viewing your camera. Surrounding environmental factors may be causing interference with the built in microphone on your camera. Re-locating your camera may help reduce/eliminate the amount of feedback heard, otherwise, an alternative is lowering or disabling the microphone volume on your camera.

To reduce the microphone volume, please follow these steps:

Note: To adjust the microphone volume of your camera, you must log into the web UI Interface of your camera.  Also depending on the model camera, the screen shot may look different.

Step 1: Log in to your camera.

Step 2: Click on the Setup Tab and then click Audio on the left side.

Step 3: Adjust the volume as needed and click Save Settings.

 

Note: There is no set volume number to specify. You may need to adjust a couple of times to find the level that works in your environment.

You can record video to the mydlink cloud using the mydlink app. You must have a cloud subscription and will need to setup motion and/or sound detection for your camera and create an automation rule

Note: Cloud recording is only available for the D-Link DCS-8000LH, 8010LH, 8100LH, 8300LH, and D-link DCS-8525LH cameras with firmware 2.00 or higher.

Step 1: Launch the mydlink app.

Step 2: Enable and configure motion and/or sound detection.

Step 3: From the home screen, tap the 3 horizontal lines in the upper left corner.

 

 

Step 4: Tap Settings.

 

 

Step 5: Tap Automation.

 

 

Step 6: Tap the plus sign in the upper right corner to create a new automation.

 

 

Step 7: Tap the automation.

 

 

Step 8: To change the name of the automation, tap it and type in a new name. In this example it will be called cloud recording 1.

Step 10: Tap back. Tap the plus sign in the lower right side to create a new rule for the automation.
