FurryNutz,

1.14.02_Beta Firmware for DCS-5029L appears to have solved the problem of the IR LEDs not turning fully off when disabled.

I have now installed this Firmware update on several DCS-5029L cameras with no harmful effects that I can detect.

Their numbering system for the new firmware should be 1.14.03_Beta, not 1.14.02_Beta.  Once approved, you drop off the "Beta", and you have just 1.14.03.

FurryNutz, you're a great help on these forums, and you are an asset to all of humanity.  Thank you.

I tried to attached some sample images but I could not figure out how to do this.

[FurryNutz]

Thank you for posting your experience. Glad the fix worked.
This is not a Beta, this is an official release. B02 = Build 02, not beta.

Enjoy.

>>  This is not a Beta, this is an official release. B02 = Build 02, not beta.  <<

Very confusing.  The file that I downloaded a couple of weeks ago ( 1.14.02_Beta ) has been removed. The latest version that they show is 1.14.02.  It has NO "B02" in the name.

http://support.dlink.com/productinfo.aspx?m=DCS-5029L

I have 1.14.02 installed on some cameras WITH the IR LED bug.  The 1.14.02 they show is dated 11-14-2016.  Surely they wouldn't have two different versions of firmware with the same revision number !?!?   I am trying to help others with this problem and I need to be able to point them do the proper firmware To install.

[FurryNutz]

The beta was to help test the LED issue, once we helped to confirm it, I presume they removed the "BETA" from the file name and officially posted it as v1.14 Build 02.
Just because the .zip file naming convention isn't the same as the actual FW version, doesn't mean its different.

Review the release notes.

You are using the same version. No worries.

[AWVKRS]

OK, but it NOT posted as v1.14 Build 02.  It is posted as 1.14.02. This the exact same number as the Firmware WITH the bug. You CAN'T have two different versions of software with the same version number, it's mind boggling!

[FurryNutz]

The original Beta was posted on the 7th which is my original date I posted this thread notifying users of the v1.14.02 "Beta" of the LED fix and to let us know if it was definitely fixed. Then on the 14th, since getting results back, D-Link didn't make any changes to the v1.14.02 "Beta" code and just took out the "beta" from the file naming convention and leaving v1.14.02 in the .zip file name.
v1.14.02 = v1.14 Build 02
So no reason for graduating build numbers or version numbers.

Nothing confusing about it.

[AWVKRS]

Nothing confusing about it.

In early October 2016 I was pushed 1.14.02.  I installed this on multiple DCS-5029L cameras.  A few days later (10-I4-16)  I came to these forums to discuss the IR LED bug.

Now (as of 11-7-2016) we have NEW Firmware 1.14.02 where the bug has been fixed.  ( I just tested a camera with the [October 2016] 1.14.02 Firmware, IT HAS THE BUG ).  I have a another DCS-5029L with the more newly installed [November 7-2016] 1.14.02, it does NOT have the bug. 

When I access the cameras built-in webpage, BOTH the cameras with the bug and cameras without the bug report the SAME 1.14.02 Firmware. 

D-Link has two different published versions of their firmware with the same revision number. Confusing.

[FurryNutz]

Use the 11-14-16 dated version and you'll be fine.

[AWVKRS]

Use the 11-14-16 dated version and you'll be fine.

I agree!!

In my 35 years of computer experience this is the first time I've ever seen two different versions of software be given the same revision number.  Because of this, it is not possible for me to remotely tell what version of the firmware is actually on the camera without performing an IR LED test.

Because of my familiarity with the issues I can sort this out. However, I know that other people with the same problem will struggle.   

Fortunately, I kept a copy of the 1.14.02_Beta firmware. So when I install it it has the word "Beta" in the revision. I will use this for my own purposes so I can keep track of what I've got. Perhaps in the future, a newer version of the firmware will be issued that will make this problem go away.

Again, thank you for your patience and understanding, I know that you are not the person assigning these same revision numbers.

[FurryNutz]

This maybe a fluke or a one time event.
Future users shouldn't have any issues since the Beta has been removed and effectively became v1.14.02. All other files would not be irrelevant.

As long as the LED fix is in place and the other items listed in the release notes are in effect, users will be ok to install v1.14.B02 which is now the latest and greatest.

Enjoy. 

[AWVKRS]

Future users shouldn't have any issues

A DCS-5029L Camera user discovers his LEDs do not turn off completely when commanded to do so.  So, he looks at is camera to find out the firmware version. He finds it is version 1.14.02.  Then he goes to the D-Link website and learns that the latest version is 1.14.02.  He now incorrectly assumes he has the latest version of the firmware on his camera.  So, now he is contacting D-Link support, asking questions on these forums, leaving bad reviews on Amazon and going through unnecessary frustration because someone didn't number the latest version of the firmware 1.14.03.

In 1961 Vice Pres. Johnson met with Wernher Von Braun concerning sending a man to the moon. The Vice Pres. asked Von Braun if America could beat the Russians to the moon, Von Braun responding to the vice president that we could beat the Russians to the moon.  Johnson replied saying that the Russians had German engineers.  Von Braun then said to Vice Pres. Johnson, "Yes, but OUR German engineers are better than their German engineers".

FurryNutz, I'm really not trying to be petty, I'm German, and I cannot help it. 

[FurryNutz]

Healthy postings Sir. Understand the concerns.

Again, user just needs to download the FW version again and re-apply to get the fix, should a user case like this happen. Simple as that.

I presume when and if another upgrade comes from D-Link, then the version or build number will change.

Enjoy.

They broke it again.  v 1.14.02 has the IR emitter bug AGAIN.  I just downloaded 1.14.02 and installed it on a V1.13 DCS-5029L, the IR emitters do not turn off.

I then installed V1.14.02_Beta (no longer on the D-Link web site) and the IR emitter bug is FIXED.  D-Link has removed any way to fix the IR emitter bug, unless you kept a copy of "V1.14.02_Beta".

[FurryNutz]

May users can get a copy of this "beta" from you if they contact you?

I would recommend users phone contact D-Link support and ask them about this if they are still seeing the IR LEDs active when they should be OFF. Possible in the next FW update will have the fix for the IR bug.
