D-Link Launches DCS-8610: Smart Home Security Camera

TAIPEI—D-Link Corporation announced the global launch of the DCS-8610 2.5K QHD Pan & Tilt Pro Wi-Fi Camera. 

The DCS-8610 provides applications that scale from private residences to professional environments. It serves as a privacy-first security solution for solo dwellers and independent seniors choosing to age in place, acts as a smart nursery monitor for active toddlers and offers a scalable safety net for assisted living and professional care facilities looking to optimize resident care without intrusion.

The DCS-8610 features AI Fall Detection designed to provide families with an additional layer of situational awareness by identifying potential fall events at home.

When the camera’s built-in AI detects a potential incident, it is engineered to send real-time smart alerts directly to a smartphone via the mydlink app. Coupled with auto person tracking to help maintain visibility across the room, this technology ensures long-distance family members and caregivers receive immediate notifications.

The DCS-8610 also includes a hybrid privacy mode. The camera identifies human figures in real time and automatically applies a dynamic mosaic mask. Caregivers can see posture, movement and location through simplified body outlines, but facial features and private details remain entirely hidden. It provides a reliable safety net without making family members feel constantly watched.

The camera offers a choice between local microSD card storage and mydlink Cloud Recording. When leveraging cloud backup for enhanced security, users unlock complete event protection featuring a pre-record function. The camera is engineered to start recording five seconds before motion is detected and continue for 10 seconds after the activity ends. This ensures families never miss critical details, capturing the full context of any unexpected home incident.

“The future of home monitoring isn’t simply about seeing more, it’s about seeing smarter,” said CJ Chang, CEO of D-Link Corporation. “With the DCS-8610, we’ve brought advanced AI technologies typically found in professional surveillance environments into a solution that families can easily deploy at home. The result is greater peace of mind for caregivers and greater dignity for the people they care about.”

The D-Link DCS-8610 2.5K QHD Pan & Tilt Pro Wi-Fi Camera is rolling out globally and is now available for purchase across Europe on Amazon EU.
