The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => IP Cameras => DCS-2230 => Topic started by: acellier on August 10, 2012, 06:12:08 PM

We just received an anxiously awaited DCS-2230, looking forward to higher resolution than the 930 & 932.
But the box contained no manual and no software at all. Came in a rather plain brown box, not slickly decorated like the 930 & 932. Is this incomplete package a refurb, sold as new?
Downloaded the manuals and software from the website. No Mac software at all !!! ??? Even after reset. No joy with ethernet to my Mac. Used WPS to start communication with the router - they talked; I see the camera as an attached device (at the router) but not on my LAN where I have told the router to reserve a fixed ip for it.
Maybe there's no way to set it up with the Mac?.
And, what is the current best firmware for the 2230? Some posters seem to be using Russian or Italian. Doesn't D-Link support this thing in the USA?
Right now I'm feeling a bit ripped off.

Additional tries at reset (holding longer) finally got the camera to respond to WPS with lock to the pre-selected LAN ip.
Still wonder why no docs or CD in the box.
This camera is a bit more complex to set up than the 930/932 ! It will take some time to understand the nuances.

Every time I set LAN Settings to Static IP, after the 20-second timeout, it reverts to DHCP?
Why?
Eh - nevermind - I was using Chrome browser, which does not seem to be able to control the camera! Safari (on Mac 10.6.8, Snow Leopard) is working.
