DCS-960L Video all white/washed out with any sunlight
« on: June 01, 2016, 12:40:08 PM »

I saw a fix for this on the forums for the 935l but it didn't work for my 960l.
Does anyone know about this ? I'm about to return the unit.

Thanks

Which "fix"?

Did you log into the cameras f/w and adjust the image?
Is the camera in night vision mode or day mode?

The fix was to turn off "anti flicker", didn't work.
Yes, I have tried all brightness and contrast adjustment. I currently have it in Day only mode but have tried it in night only and auto with the same result.

Thanks for the response

Try a factory reset of the camera and set up from scratch?
Try a re-load of the FW and set up again?

What FW version is currently loaded?

So, I'm really trying to discover if this is a defect in this unit or a defect in the entire Model Group.
Does anyone have a DCS-960l in a window pointed outside during the day and have viewable video ?

Thanks for any response

What region are you located?  ???

There is v1.03 that you should try;
https://www.mydlink.com/download

I presume if this fails to clear the issue, you may have a faulty unit and would need to either return the unit and get another or RMA with D-Link.

Does your night vision show color?

I have the original f/w, and my night vision shows color where there enough color (keyboard backlight, color lights (red/green/blue)..

I have 3 boxed 960l's that I think have a newer f/w.  I'll check those out at some point.  Not sure if I want to put them all on a entirely separate network or what   yet. 

Are you pointing yours through a window outside? Or did you mount it outside?


I have some 2230's pointed outside.  They do very well image quality wise, being 2 MP cams.  I do have a 2210L I need to play with.
