The first in D-Link's Omna family of HomeKit enabled devices, the Omna 180 Cam HD provides an easy way for users to monitor their home for extra peace of mind.

With an elegant, modern design, the Omna 180 Cam HD offers a comprehensive 180-degree field of view to monitor an entire room and Full HD 1080p video quality for crystal clear surveillance.

D-Link Omna 180 Cam HD (DSH-C310) Key Features

Omna's HomeKit integration allows users to be "always home." Seeing everything through your iOS device offers extra peace of mind – keeping an eye on your baby in the nursery, checking on an elderly relative, watching your dog in the living room, or helping ensure homes are safe while on vacation.1

  • 180-Degree Field of View – Omna is derived from the Latin word 'omnis' meaning all-encompassing. Most cameras offer a limited 130-degree lens, while D-Link's unique 180-degree solutions and de-warping technology allow users to see just about everywhere and everything.
  • Dynamic Video Streaming – The video bitrate continuously adjusts to ensure optimal performance given the available bandwidth.
  • Two-Way Audio – Listen and speak using the camera's built-in microphone and speaker, so even when users are not at home they can still make their presence known. 
  • Night Vision – See up to 16 feet in complete darkness with infrared night vision.
  • Local Recording – Record motion detection triggered video clips directly to a microSDXC card up to 128 GB. Offers more flexibility on recording video locally to the camera without impacting network or Internet bandwidth, all with no recurring monthly fees.
  • Omna App – Advanced features are available on the free Omna companion app.
