D-Link DCS-6513 Data Sheet

The D-Link DCS-6513 Full HD WDR Day & Night Outdoor Dome Network Camera is a high-
definition professional surveillance and security solution suitable for small, medium, and large 
enterprises. The camera uses a high-sensitivity 3 megapixel progressive scan CMOS sensor with 
a motorized P-Iris lens and onboard WDR image enhancement to deliver truly superior quality 
video in all conditions. The all-in-one rugged design makes this camera extremely reliable and 
ideal for deployment in surveillance applications without the need for accessories.

The DCS-6513 is equipped with a P-Iris lens that controls the iris with extreme precision. Its 
built-in stepping motor maintains the Iris opening at an optimal level at all times, resulting 
in superior image quality, clarity, and depth of field, so you can see every minute detail of the 
area being monitored. The remote focus function eliminates the need for manual focusing at 
the camera’s position and allows you to make adjustments from any computer. To maximize 
bandwidth efficiency and improve image quality, the DCS-6513 provides real-time video 
compression using the H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG codecs, and supports three separate 
profiles for simultaneous video streaming and recording. This versatility enables a wide 
variety of security applications, such as monitoring public areas to detect incidents and to 
coordinate responses, enforcing access control to restricted areas, deterring criminal activity, 
or monitoring inventory. Furthermore, bandwidth requirements can be adjusted in real-time 
over the network, and recorded video files can be saved to a network attached storage (NAS) 
device or Micro SD card.

The DCS-6513’s WDR image enhancement gives you improved image quality in environments 
with uneven or difficult lighting, so you can identify subjects that are backlit or in brightly 
lit areas. In low-light situations, the IR cut filter automatically slides out of the way to use 
all available light. The DCS-6513 also has built-in IR LED illuminators with a 20 meter range, 
allowing the camera to keep watch even in complete darkness. These features work together to 
give you a reliable surveillance camera capable of monitoring an area 24 hours a day.
