Enhanced Day/Night Cloud Camera
DCS-942L
The Enhanced Day/Night Cloud Camera, DCS-942L is a cost-effective yet powerful security 
solution that connects to your Ethernet or 802.11n wireless network to provide remote 
monitoring over the Internet. The DCS-942L can record snapshots and video to the onboard 
SD card or to a network storage drive constantly, according to a schedule, or whenever motion 
is detected.
24/7 Day And Night Monitoring
The DCS-942L has built in infrared (IR) LEDs and an IR-cut removable filter that allows it to be 
used in a variety of lighting situations. During the day, the IR-cut filter provides high-quality 
images and video. at night, the IR cut filter automatically moves out of the way and the IR LEDs 
turn on to allow the camera to record in low-light or no-light environments. The DCS-942L also 
includes a Passive infrared (PIR) motion-detection sensor, which can detect motion at all times 
of the day.
