Introduction

This guide is going to show how to take apart a D-Link DCS 936L Wi-Fi security camera and remove the camera lens using a Phillips #00 screwdriver and an opening tool. Don't fear! This is fairly simple once you get started. As long as you are careful not to strip the screws, it should only take a few minutes.

    • Place the camera upwards between your thumb and first finger.

    • Tilt the camera to the best position and loosen the captive linings using a plastic opening tool.

    • Slide the top cover outwards to separate the upper section from the lower lid using the plastic opening tool.

    • Remove the 6.0mm Phillips #00 screws that secure the back cover to the inner frame.

    • Lift the rear lid upwards using your fingers and separate it from the internal components and motherboard.

    After removing the screws, there are 4 tabs holding the back cover on. Each tab is located at the edge of a vent. Pry at each point to remove the back cover. Take care not to damage the Micro SD card holder.

    • Make sure your hands are dry and you are working in a dry area. To prevent damage, do not touch the lens.

    • There are two Phillips #00 6.0mm screws keeping the camera in place. Remove the screws first.

    • Gently unplug the camera from the motherboard, and remove the camera.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

How do I get hold of a replacement lens? Can’t seem to find anyone selling them. Need one for a DCS-2670L
