Conclusion:

With a retail value of $179.99, the D-Link DCS-825L HD Wi-Fi Baby Camera isn’t on the cheap side when it comes to video baby cameras. At this price point, you can find cameras that have controllable PTZ mounts, something the D-Link DCS-825L HD Wi-Fi Baby Camera does not offer with it’s fixed mount options. However, that aside D-Link obviously put pen to paper and polled parents on what features they would like to see in a baby video camera, as this camera really does have a lot to offer. Sadly, if it wasn’t for the video and audio lag/latency at 720P resolutions, I would overlook the not-so-polished app and say the D-Link DCS-825L HD Wi-Fi Baby Camera is a perfect choice for any parent looking for a top-notch video baby camera. I say that, because even at 360P resolution, I still think it’s a great choice and still worth recommending. If D-Link can work out the video and audio lag/latency and refine their app, they would have an impressive product on their hands and one competitors that have been doing it longer attempt to emulate. I noticed after I created a mydlink account and linked my camera it performed a firmware update directly to the camera, I hold out hope that a future firmware update might resolve the lag/latency.
