A good friend of mine owns a telecom, security company in Ossipee and he monitors the business and his place in Florida. His cameras are better then the DLink, but they cost way more then mine and require an ongoing payment.
For the cost they work great. And they are a cheap learning experience to see if you need better and what the issues are.

Even outdoors, the built-in illuminators aren't going to be good for much beyond 8 or 10 feet.
On-board illuminators are almost always a sign of a cheap security camera, though they will work OK in an area like a porch where there is more reflectivity and the distance from camera to target is pretty small.
BTW, that D-Link camera isn't rated for outdoor use, so if you put it outside you'll probably end up damaging it.
