Pros and Cons
The D-Link Smart Home Kit can solve your connectivity problems with the powerful hardware included in the kit. The three devices included in the kit are each designed to make connecting easier and hassle free.
The D-Link DIR-890L Wireless AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi Router provides your entire home the coverage it needs, meaning you will not lose your connection within its specified range. You won’t even have to worry about the quality of the connection because of its Smart Beam Forming. This empowers the router to direct bandwidth to your device even as you move around different rooms in your home.
The Wi-Fi Smart Plug helps you keep track of your router and you can turn it on or off using the app. The plug even has a thermal sensor that will help prevent your router from overheating. Aside from that you can monitor how much energy your device is using through the app which can help you save money.
The Cloud Camera 5000 has amazing specs. With this device you can keep a watchful eye even when you are away it even has night vision technology and it even sends e-mail alerts when it senses any change within the camera’s environment.
The whole D-Link Smart Home Kit is very useful but is also very costly. The router alone will cost a few hundred dollars. That does not include the Cloud Camera and Wi-Fi Plug.
The Cloud Camera is still in need of a few tweaks. It is a bit on the expensive side but can be difficult to install especially for those who are not tech savvy. Another downside is that it may blast emails every minute due to the e-mail alert system if not properly configured.
Verdict
For a home kit the D-Link Smart Home Kit is very powerful. It is a good investment especially if you have a tech-savvy family or you always have that need to stay connected wherever you are at home.
