Should users apply the FW upgrade file then do a factory reset on the camera and set up from scratch? Or try a dirty install test?
Title: Re: BETA Firmware v1.05.07 (Build 3306) Released
Post by: GreenBay42 on October 18, 2017, 01:35:15 PM
Reset should not be necessary. If the camera is acting strange after update, a reset most likely will fix it.

Personally I always hard reset after firmware upgrade, but that is just me :)

Ok, I'm going to test with out a reset. Will if need to. Use default Detection settings? I believe 30% was last value...

Post by: GreenBay42 on October 18, 2017, 01:43:16 PM
Sure. Let me know if you get anything at 30%.  I would prob start at 70% and adjust from there.

Not getting anything with 30 or 70%. I selected one pixel box in 3 different areas in the view screen. One farther away and two close to the camera.  :-[

Ok, Looking at the Live video feed in FF, I'm see the motion icon running man next to the record icon thats under the DCS-936L title label upper left hand cornder of window, blinking orange when motion is being detected at 70%. Let me try 30% again.

No mydlink lite notifications? 

Well, a true test if the camera is working is the icon blinking in the UI. Since it is, the camera is working. But not sure why you are not getting mydlink notifications. You have iOS right? 11.0.3? 
Title: Re: BETA Firmware v1.05.07 (Build 3306) Released

11.0.2...do I need to update to 11.0.3?  ???

70% I get icon detect as well as 90%.

I am sure Apple will release a KRACK update in the next week or 2. Techs i've talked to with 11.0.2 and .3 are getting push notifications with the beta firmware.

Post by: FurryNutz on October 20, 2017, 12:40:20 PM
All, not seeing any push items from the 960L as well. I'm getting emails from both though...I haven't enabled the 933L as it's not in a area that is detecting motion as this time. I can if you want me to test it.

Got this from my 960L via email:
 Mail Alert: Device Disconnected
Time:    2017-10-20 14:37:03 CDT

I remember before I got the 936 and 960, my 933L when it was enabled, stopped sending push notifications. Not having good feedback here at the time, I submitted a support email ticket. I gave my cameras MDL service # and all the additional support info. About a day or two later. I started getting PUSH notifications from the 933L. This was about two years ago or so.

Post by: Qutrit on November 08, 2017, 09:09:47 AM
Yes, there is a problem: on the D-link lite app I keep getting an alert that there is new firmware available, when I hit download it downgrades back to the old firmware version. That;'s the main problem. I assume that will be solved when the beta gets pushed to final no?

Just ignore the firmware upgrade notice for now, I know it is annoying. The 1.05 firmware should be "officially" released very soon (hopefully in the next few days). I am not sure why it hasn't yet.

Post by: rvgantt on November 20, 2017, 07:33:16 AM
I loaded this new firmware on 2 DCS-936L cameras with great hopes for success. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I will say that overall there are less false motion triggers. I started the testing with the sensitive set at 50% and have gradually increased it to 85%. At 85%, I can back my car out of the garage and drive away and the camera does not trigger - ever (wondering if its cause my car is silver and the contract between it and the driveway are not drastic enough). But it will trigger with no discernible motion. In this case, you will see a slight brightness or screen change at the 5 second mark (I have the lead in set at 5 seconds). The camera does trigger if there is a large change is light, i.e. lightning at night or the motion flood lights turning on for a small rabbit hopping across the driveway. It also does trigger at night by the car headlights. Lastly, it triggers every time it turns the infrared on or off. Simply put, does not work. The second camera is watching my front door. At 70% sensitivity, it miss' people coming to the door. I would like to ask if any of the D-Link camera  have functional motion detection? And if so, whats the problem here. D-Link should also stop advertising this camera as having motion detection. I will say that I like the price point, viewing angle, video quality and the ability to store video locally (really getting tired of companies trying to charge me for cloud capabilities). But motion detection was a key item for me. I'm happy to discuss my testing further if anyone cares and I can also send in some video samples if it would help.

I'm getting detect at 70%. Mines in a room so it's only seeing people thats selected for one block in the detect area. I only have 3 marked. two moderately far, one close to the camera.

I'm still not getting any PUSH notifications on my phone though. I have been getting emails.  ::)

I know there were a few maintenance updates in the last couple months. Haven't heard of issues of late with push notifications. I will again forward to tech support.

Do you have/use the mydlink Home app?

I'm not getting the push notifications either. This worked on previous revisions. But since the motion detection is not working correctly, I have the notifications turned off anyway. I did go back into the setup and test the notifications using the test button and the emails failed.

I think we need to make contact with D-Link support, via live chat or https://www.mydlink.com/contact  (https://www.mydlink.com/contact)and get the ball rolling in there court.

The firmware upgrade doesn't seem to fix the push notification! This is taking too long to fix, anyone after the firmware got the push notification working?

It defeats the purpose of me getting this camera!

It isn't working for me either.

I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. The US offers Chat support for consumer products at support.dlink.com. 24/7. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
Let us know how it goes please.

I'm running this version and motion detection is still not working properly.
As far as I can tell below 30% false positives stop but real detection stops as well.
Above that there are too many false positives.

Another thing that I don't understand is the motion detection area, you draw it but it seems other parts end up triggering the camera.

Try setting 70% first then try 90%.

How do you have your detection area set up for?

I have purchased this camera yesterday and firmware was available once connected. Updated and tested. With and without reset.
- Motion sensor is not working at all.
- Sound sensor is working properly

Notifications work but since motion sensor is not working then it doesn't really matter.
Any solution or should I return the camera?
