D-Link Surveillance Mode Switches D-Link's Surveillance Mode switches simplify IP camera network management, providing real-time device and network information through an intuitive and simple GUI. Starting with a built-in setup wizard that facilitates fast installation, Surveillance Mode reduces the complexity of deployment and management. With every camera represented through a preset or customizable icon, network managers can quickly identify and locate cameras, review current and daily status reports and health diagnostics, troubleshoot potential network issues, and determine each device's geographical location. Integrators can also use Surveillance Mode to remotely reboot IP cameras. An optional feature "PD-Alive" can be used to ping IP cameras on a periodic basis. If a problematic camera does not reply to the ping, the switch will automatically power cycle the device.
