If you get "Invalid file" rename to the same name with a .zip extension, and extract the .bin from the zip.

Yes, the original post explains the missing .zip extension. For some reason if the file is downloaded with Firefox, the extension is lost. However, if the file is downloaded with IE, the extension carries over. ??? :-\

Hello! Thanks a lot for this post.
I tried to update my DCS-930L, but it still shows the old firmware. Please see attached image.

I followed the instructions here https://me.mydlink.com/faq/DCS930L/ans17#id-key_26/ans-8
Using a LAN cable instead of Wi-Fi, uploading the downloaded unzipped file.
Am I doing it the right way?
Also.. does this firmware enable scheduling of Motion Capture combined with image capturing to email at the same time?

The screenshot you provided indicates that version 1.09 is installed, which is correct. To answer your second question regarding receiving emails with attached images that are triggered by scheduled motion detection windows, the answer is "yes".

Ah ok, thanks for the reply. How do I set the camera for that?
Is this correct?

Everything looks okay. The best way to validate if your settings are correct is to try different combinations and perform some motion detection tests until everything is working properly. ;)

Wow! Really? After 3 years, they FINALLY added a schedule for Motion Detection!?!?!? I almost fell out of my seat when I read that. :o
Dangit though, I just updated all my cameras to 1.08 a month ago. It's a pain getting to some of mine (I have 6) because of where they are mounted. Good thing I have a laptop and a really long Ethernet cable!

LOL. I've been using the DCS-932L version of this latest FW upgrade for over 2 weeks now and the new functionality works perfectly. As you implied, this update was long overdue, but better late than never. ;)

: ) Great, now im using the cam with the new features.

I used to be able to update my DCS-930L firmware via my wireless connection. But when I try that with 1.09, although the status line shows progress until the file is 100% uploaded, the connection hangs at that point. When I reconnect later, the firmware is still reported as 1.08. Rebooting the camera doesn't help. I have 3 DCS-930L cameras, and they all exhibit this behavior.
Is there a way to get wireless firmware updating to work like it previously did?

Are you unzipping the firmware archive and uploading the expanded file? If the original archive did not contain a zip extension, you may have to manually add one. For some reason, some versions of Firefox leave the extension off when the file is initially downloaded. For compatibility reasons, it's usually best to use IE for firmware updates.

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, I'm uploading the extracted dcs930l_v109_b2.bin file. I'd been using Chrome, but I just tried it with IE11 and I get the same behavior.

I presume you logged into the web UI from within your LAN using the camera IP address and uploading the firmware from the Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade page? Please log into the web UI and navigate to SETUP > Motion Detection to validate whether (or not) any of the new functionality is present. As an alternative, I personally used Firefox with my DCS-932L (and other DCS models without issue).

Correct.

Only the old motion-detection functionality is present: options to enable, disable, or select image regions.
I'll try Firefox later, but I doubt it'll behave differently from Chrome and IE11, considering that Chrome has worked fine for all my previous wireless firmware upgrades for this webcam.

Recently, users have reported Chrome issues with other D-Link products. I'd give Firefox a try or a pre-IE11 version.

Ok, tried Firefox. Similar behavior: when I click the Upload button, the browser hangs indefinitely with status "Sending request to <IP address>...".

Where are you downloading the file from? Please try mydlink.com/support, which uses a different source file from what I've linked on this thread.
Please let me know if that works. If so, I'll redirect my link as well.

Thanks, but I was already using the firmware from the support site. Also, I just did a bitwise comparison between your link and the support site's version, and they're identical.

I'm running out of options here. . . :-\
Do you have another PC to attempt the upload from?
Do you have the option of testing a wired connection with one of your cameras?
This is less likely to help, but you can also try saving a Configuration Settings file and resetting the DCS=930L to the factory defaults and re-apply the firmware. This process may impact your existing mydlink registration. There's a soft reset available through the web UI and a hard reset by pressing and holding the recessed Reset button on the rear of the unit for > 9 seconds. I'm baffled as to why this isn't working
-
Ok, thanks for your efforts! I'll probably just try a wired connection when I have time. If I discover anything more, I'll post it here.

I have same problem as the other person here.
It is impossible to get the firmware 1.09 loaded in my dcs-930L
the current firmware is 1.08
Did a hard reset (press the reset pinhole for 3 sec and relase while power is on)
After that it comes up in dhcp mode.
I have it directly connected to the lan and my pc (winwows 7 ie 11 or latest chrome)
and login to the webcam
Then go to the firmware upload page and select the file dcs930l_v109_b2.bin
and press upload
After that in iexplorer nothing happens i am i wait mode
in chrome i see an upload active from 1 to 100% and then i get into wait mode and nothing further happens.
after over 5 minutes i swicth of power of device and on again and all is like it was before... no update

Try a different browser: IE earlier than v11 or Firefox.

I had a laptop with iexplorer 9 and used that one to try the update and
It worked with that version. ::)
Thnx for the help
The the same solution worked with the dcs-923L from which i have 2 and one updated (using chrome even over a wifi connection)
but the other shows the same problem.
i had to use iexploer 9 on this and connect it to the lan.
Anyway problem solved.

By the way, I was never able to upgrade (past 1.08) via WiFi (even though previous WiFi updates worked fine).
However, I did successfully upgrade (to 1.11) by plugging my netcams into my WiFi router via an Ethernet cable. Two of the three cams updated on the first try. The third hung after the FW upload finished (same problem as via WiFi), but succeeded on the second attempt. Windows 7 SP1, Chrome 34.0.1847.131 m.

It's always best to use a wired connection for FW upgrades anyway to avoid potential issues.
