Video recording to SD Card not working?
« on: October 25, 2011, 07:18:58 AM »

I can't get the Video to record to the SD card, nothing happens. Snapshots record fine.

Firmware is 1.01

I am having the same issue.
DCS-942L firmware 1.01
Video does not record at all and I can only get 1 snapshot per minute.
Hope they fix this soon since it is the only reason I bought this instead of the 932L which currently has a better picture and overall better firmware options.

Based on the reports of another user, updating the firmware will fix this issue. See below:

I upgraded the firmware to 719 successfully.  There appears to be a new check box for turning on the SD card 'SD Management' (unless I don't remember that from before the upgrade).  Unfortunately, there is no revision list from dlink on what 719 does, but the upgrade went well.  Just FYI for everyone. :D

Does the web interface now contain a check box for turning on the SD card "SD Management'"?

Maybe you should try to upload the firmware again and then factory-reset your DCS-942L.
the SD card function probably is working.

 :'(
I bought the DCS-942L and tested today!
When I first installed I got a firmware upgrade request, so no I have:
Firmware Version   1.01
Firmware Build Number   0719

There are 2 things not working so far:
1. Video Clips to be sent by email
2. Video Clips to be stored in the SD Card

--------
I formatted the SD via PC to FAT16 format and then via DLINK DCS-942L format functionality in the SD Mgt and I got "SD Status : Ready"
Now I can see the JPEGs stored in the SD. So when I enable Video Clips.. nothing happens..
So I think there is a bug in the VideoClip functionality as it is the common factor between the problems I am facing.. I tried to reduce the video resolution, encode, bps, FPS...nothing worked!

Maybe you should use the camera format function to re-format your SD Card, and then try again.
As I know, some IP cameras use their appropriate format tool to erase the SD Card, then the recording function can work fine.

When you go to the sd card menu option, does it show the correct size and available free of the SD card? When I formatted my sd card it showed them both as zero. Only when I reformatted it again did it finally show the correct information. Also, what does it say above the size info under SD card state?

I am having the same problem.  Video will not record on SD card.  I can send video clips & snapshots through email.  The 16gb card is formatted and shows the correct size.  Firmware is updated to the latest version 1.01 Build 902.

I am also having this issue. I have firmware: 1.01 firmware build number 0902

I have tried two different micro SD cards and neither are working. Is there a fix or workaround?

****Update 12/12****

I am able to capture picture images on the SD card, but am unable to capture video.

I just got off the phone with Kim from level 3 support and thankfully he fixed it.

The solution is to reinstall software and set all settings to factory settings. Easy solution, but I spent about 4 hours on the phone figuring this out. Hope this helps.
