Dear all,

I received following message from D-Link.

End-of-Service for mydlink Home and mydlink Baby Camera Monitor

Dear Customers,

We contacted you earlier this month about the End-of-Service of your mydlink Home and mydlink Baby Camera Monitor, which has now come into effect. All devices using the announced apps (listed in table below) are no longer accessible. These included:
Model number

mydlink Home DCS-935LH, DCS-8200LH, DCS-5025L, DSP-W110, DSP-W215, DCH-S150, DCH-S160, DCH-G020, DCH-G020X, DCH-Z110, DCH-S220, DCH-Z120, DCH-Z310
mydlink Baby Camera Monitor DCS-700L, DCS-800L, DCS-820L, DCS-825L , DCS-850L, DCS-855L
As explained in the previous communication, while we try to maintain support and related services after our products are sold for as long as possible, technologies evolve and security requirements change, so we had to make this difficult decision.

Your mydlink account, which you might be using for other mydlink apps, will continue to be active after the End-of-Service date. If you do not wish to keep your mydlink account, please access https://sso.dlink.com to delete it.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and thank you again for your understanding.

Hi!
Well this is not fair policy from D-Link company, and for sure i will not buy any more products from them. Anyway if anyone is interested in small hack which should help a little:
In case of DCS-8200LH there is an option to get video stream from camera with RTSP protocol - but camera has to be logged in local wi-fi. Just add standard camera integration to home-assistant config file:

camera:
 -  platform: ffmpeg
    name: d-link 8200-LH 
    input: rtsp://admin:[PIN_NUMBER_OF_CAMERA]@[CAMERA_IP]:554/play2.sdp

*Pin number of camera is on the back sticker
