Title: DCS-930L - LED on back
Post by: acellier on May 26, 2011, 10:05:13 AM

DCS-930L camera disappeared from network.
It is again working after reboot/resync, but no blinking green on back.
Reboot did invoke Blue LED flashes, then steady for a while. Now no light there at all, but camera working.
I think LED on back used to blink green while connected on WiFi, or am I dreaming?

The DCS-930L web interface (Maintenance -> Admin -> LED Control) has an option to disable the LED. The missing blinking light would be explained if this control is set to "Off".

The LED on the back is blue only. The front LED flashes RED, GREEN, or OFF.

The LED blinks green on the front (not rear) when connected. This feature provides notice to people in the vicinity of the camera that they are being monitored. The on/off control on the web interface permits you to disable the LED for covert viewing. . . i.e. you were dreaming.   ;)

OK, dreaming. Thanks guys!
Anyone know what different flash patterns mean for the blue LED?

page 13 says "The blue WPS status LED above the button will blink."
I've seen different numbers of blinks, and steady.
