Title: All dlink camera F/Ws 2020 bug
Post by: RYAT3 on July 04, 2020, 11:58:31 AM

DCS-2330L
DCS-2230
DCS-2132L

Can not manually set date past 2019 as 2019 as the last year.

Why would I want to do this? Camera is on a separate network which is not on the internet. Cemera has been creeping time ahead by 15 minutes so far, so  wanted to set it back.
Nope. 2019 last year.

I suspect many if not all f/w of previous generation to have the bug.

My 933L and 960L max out at 2020. My 936L maxes out at 2024.

UG. Not sure what the camera group/vendors were thinking. I guess they didn't expect D-Link to last past 2020?  It is so ridiculous. 30+ camera skus and DNR line all have this issue. Most will/have received firmware updates but old cameras will not. Using NTP is the only workaround.

Is Copy Time from PC feature an option on your camera?

I don't under Pascal's post.  The time works WITH NTP, it's in 2020 as expected.   Maybe 2021 is failing?

If you turn NTP off, it won't work.   (Even with Copy from your computer's setting) - it remains stuck on 2019.  Which is what is known. And it's an older camera, which as stated won't be updated.
