https://au.mydlink.com/download shows latest firmware v1.14 but http://support.dlink.com.au/Download/download.aspx?product=DCS-2330L shows v1.12 as latest. which is correct please? If v1.14 from which ftp site is it sourced?
-
Not sure about your region, but I tried 1.14 and found the ir light was on in low power during the day and night when is supposed to be off. Very bad for behind a window. I went back to 1.12
-
the MDL site would be the latest the D-Link Australia has to offer. There main support site may have not been updated to reflect v1.14.
I recommend if your camera is working, don't upgrade. You an try it and if it doesn't work out well, you can down grade back.

thanks folks. i'm having heaps problems with this cam ecen just trying to get it to connet wirelessly to netgear d630. anyone else? mydlink oniphone shows a red cross? any ideas? it has v1.12 according to packaging.
-
Did you mean netgear d6300?
-
Can you connect to the camera if it's connected via LAN cable to the main host router and use a browser to connect to the IP address it gets from the main host router?
What wireless modes are you using on the main host router and security modes used?
What is the distance between the Camera and the main host router?
How many other wireless devices do you have connected to the main host router?
- Any 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz cordless house phones or WiFi APs near by that maybe causing interferences?
- Any other WiFi routers in the area that maybe causing interferences? Link> Use a WiFi Scanner (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=48327.0) to find out. How many?
I recommend setting a static IP address ON the cameras outside of the main host routers default DHCP IP address pool as a troubleshooting step: 192.168.#.23 DHCP (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=58017.0)

yes d6300 sorry.
Can you connect to the camera if it's connected via LAN cable to the main host router and use a browser to connect to the IP address it gets from the main host router? yes
wpa2-tkip
1 meter away
thanks i'll try static IP
i'm trying to manage for my sister in Australia and i'm in uk. please bear with me.
thanks for the hep.
-
btw i'm doing this on a Mac not windows.
-
Can you set AES or Mixed TPIK and AES on the main host router? AES is preferred mode.
If on Mac, use FF browser for best configuration with the camera if you can.
See if the camera will connect to the 5Ghz radio as well...
-
ok i'll liase and get back soon as. i read somewhere to release camera in web portal?? couldn't see option?
i amusing chrome not safari. getting firefox might be out of her capabilities but will try.
thanks again
-
If she can wire the camera to the router, and open port 80, you should be able to login to the camera.
There might also be an option to remote admin the router.
-
i read somewhere to release camera in web portal?? couldn't see option?
is there somewhere to do this or remove whole account to start again and run the config to create a/c and specify 5G network.
btw it is set wpa2 AES not TKIP.
yes i have router remote admin - thanks
-
You might try just factory reset the camera. Then go thru the set up wizard.
One thing you can do while your working remotely and might be helpful, try using www.teamviewer.com (http://www.teamviewer.com). It's a safe remote access program between two PCs. I use it all the time when I need to help out others with router problems and can't be there on site.
If you can gain access to the camera while it's connected while the camera is LAN cable connected to the router, you should be able to go into it's web page and configure the wireless networking to connect to a different SSID name for 5Ghz. Be sure that your main host router is running N mode on 5Ghz.
-
fantastic. thanks. she's tied up for next 2 days so can't do much. will update soon as.
very helpful - magic. cheers
this teamviewer is it poss PC 2 Mac?
-
Yes and mixed between mac and windows too. ;)
-
gr8 talk son, thanks again.
-
open port 80 - did you mean inbound? outbound allows all ports.
i opened inbound port 80 to LAN 192.168.0.28 which will be cameras static IP but now i can't remote the router even though that's on port 8888? any ideas?
silly me-now a factory rest router i fear.
guess teamviewer is out.
she's going to hate me.
-
I don't think a reset of the router is needed. If you can have her install Teamviewer on her pc then attempt to work with the camera that way before doing any router configurations or factory resets should be avoided.
-
ok will go that route. dowe need inbound port 80 to camera static ip?
-
Shouldn't initially if your trying to just get it set up first. Then you can associate with mydlink for remote access from there.
What is the Mfr and model of the ISP modem? Does this modem have a router built in?
Lets get the camera connected and set up on LAN side first then go next step with remote.
-
What is the Mfr and model of the ISP modem? Does this modem have a router built in?
i'm afraid i have no idea. Anyway we'll go your route and worry later.
talk as soon as she sorts it, ahe said a couple days. hopefully you'll be here?
thanks
-
Need to find this info when you can from the remote site.
We will be around. ;)
-
What is the Mfr and model of the ISP modem?
is this in the router?
-
i only know the ISP name but don't know how to get this info. google finds nothing.
-
neither of her machines have an ethernet port so she'll need to buy a USB to ethernet adapter.
i take it the setup wizard must be done on a wired connection ie
camera to router ethernet
laptop to router ethernet
OR
is it only because using a wifi connection to the camera is possible to drop out?
is the same true for a laptop running setup wizard via a wifi to router?
pls confirm.
thanks
-
If the PC can be wireless to the main host router and the camera wired LAN cable to the main host router that should work.
Just need to check the model of the ISP modem to make sure that it doesn't have a built in router as the NetGear router should be the only router online.
-
i have been on the TPG Australia website but can't find any info on their end. However, they have allocated my sisters BB a static IP. Not sure how telling this may be.
If the PC can be wireless to the main host router and the camera wired LAN cable to the main host router that should work. - can do this and will try first.
she has only 1 router, no booster.
thank you.
-
To tell if the modem has a built in router, look at the NG routers web page, Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field then the ISP modem has a built in router, if you see ##.##.###.### then the ISP should be router free.
-
i take it you mean my sisters netgear router. in this case it has an IP 115.##.##.###.
-
when i come to run the setup wizard i already have an account so when asked to create an account will i get a problen - a/c exists? if so will i need to create a new a/c?
-
Yes, then the modem doesn't have a built in router and the only router is the NetGear. This is preferred.
A/C?
If it asks you if you already have an account, you should be able to pick "already have an account" then it should display a section where you can enter in the MDL account info. That is if you want to you use your already working account for this camera. ??? Create a new one if you don't.
-
thank you for the answers. i feel much happier tackling it now.
just waiting for her to connect camera to router via RJ45 thernet cable.
i'll be backthen.
cheers
-
Good Luck. ;)

hi
earlier you said to try the 5G network but to ensure 802.11N was on. i am ignorant of this. it appears there are 3 options but based on speed? viz:
up to 289Mbps
up to 600Mbps
up to 1300Mbps
it was on 1300 but manual 'D6300_UM_05Nov12.pdf' page 38 states up to 300Mbps ?
i see no where else to set 802.11N
where as on my router i can specify which 802.11 to use.
can you clarify please?
-
"up to 289Mbps" is N mode, however "up to 1300Mbps" would include N mode and AC mode. If your using the router with devices that support AC mode, leave it at 1300Mb. If your not using any devices on 5Ghz that support AC mode, then you could set it back to 289Mb for N mode only. You an change this later on if needed.
-
currently nothing on 5G. i'll set it to 289.
nice one and again, many thanks.

hi
i'm back
Can you connect to the camera if it's connected via LAN cable to the main host router and use a browser to connect to the IP address it gets from the main host router?
yes connected via cable after reset button 10 sec. can see in router 192.168.0.10 and reserved this IP for the cams MAC. i can connect to cam using admin / blank password.
if we have to download and run setup wizard from https://au.mydlink.com/download this could take a few hours she isn't computer literate / savvy.
so what should i do now? can next setup be done from phone [have an account] or from wired connection above?
cheers
btw at bottom of live video it is profile 2 that is yellow. shud it be profile 2 ?
in the FAQ :
Do I Need the Setup Wizard to Add a Camera to mydlink?
it states setup wizard not required, can use mydlink app. i'm in UK cam is in Aus - this doesn't find camera
i use chrome in win xp and can see live video of wired cam to the Aus router
can you confirm i can setup camera using this connection in place of downloaded setup wizard pleae?
-
These are two different regions and I'm not sure if you can connect to the AU camera while in UK since your UK app points to the UK MDL services there.
Has the camera been fully set up at the AU site and fully associated with the MDL service in AU?
-
not to scare non savvy use in Aus i just need to register camera with mydlink hopefully without running the downloaded setup wizard. is this poss - i can see wired camera and its setup/live video. here in uk?
what is MDL?
-
BTW box says 1.12 but online cam status says 1.14.03??
-
MDL = mydlink services.
If the camera is in AU then you might see if you can access the cameras UI web page and see if it can be associated with the MDL service in AU. I don't know if it can be associated in UK. I don't believe it can be. The setup software maybe needed.
http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=61916.0 (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=61916.0)
-
hmmm! don't know how to do this
'access the cameras UI web page and see if it can be associated with the MDL service in AU'
can you enlighten me pls?
-
I would use Team viewer and connect to the remote PC and then access the cameras web page there and see if it has a mydlink feature listed under set up where you might be able to input the MDL user name account info there. if it doesn't them run the set up software from that PC.
-
she has an iphone and access to the mydlink account and will connect to the router. will she be able to find the wired cam via add new cam?
would this be sufficient?
-
I believe so, yes. I haven't tried it this way though... ::)
Review the Network Cameras - Different Ways to Register a Cloud Camera on mydlink FAQ

will do and thanks FurryNutz.
-
;)
-
i searched the FAQ for 'ways to Register' but found nothing? have you a link pls?
also the scan on the network did not find the 5G which is enabled on the router? is there something extra needed to tell camera to use the 5G of this router?
-
ok found it - 2nd time.
ta.
-
If you can get into the cameras web page, look under setup networking or wireless. There should be a wireless SSID section where you can have it scan and look for wireless SSIDs. Use this to see if you can see the 5Ghz radio SSID name coming from the main host router. Be sure it's enabled and set for N mode, WPA2 and AES.
-
yes i did the scan after checking 5G was enabled like2.4G but it wasn't found. 2.4G was no proband therewasa D-link SSID?
-
What mode is set on the 5Ghz radio on the main host router and what security mode are you using?
Try temporarily disabling WPA security to see if the cameras sees the 5Ghz SSID name. Reenable after testing.
-
What mode is set on the 5Ghz radio on the main host router and what security mode are you using?
802.11N via speed up to 289, AES,TKIP WPA2
I'll give it a go and report back - just about 2 eat.
thanks FurryNutz
-
I'm wondering of the 2330L is 5Ghz supporting. I don't see any mention of it on D-links product page. :-\
Let us know.
-
I don't think it is. All of mine are 2.4g only.
-
What I'm thinking too. ::)
At least it works on 2.4Ghz.
-
no joy, even with no security it doesn't find the 5G. was worth a try.
cheers
-
Ok, go with 2.4Ghz. 5Ghz doesn't seem supported.
Thanks for checking.
-
you're welcome, no prob.
-
how infuriating. i can no longer sign into the mydlink account on my iphone. she can and tho the cam was wired and showed in router wired deevices her mydlink app failed to find it. i got her to remove ethernet cable and cam now shows in wifi attached devices in router.
i sign into mydlink account using chrome xp which reports 'your account has no devices'
H E L P pls.

i deleted mydlink app from iphone reinstalled it and now i can sign in. seems only thing can't do isregister cam with mydlink account. clearly i should be able to according to

If the L is on the box and back of the unit, Yes, 2330L should be the model #.
