The rear of the DCS-2121 contains a "Reset" button. If you hold this button for > 30 seconds, the camera will revert to the factory default settings. This procedure will reset the factory default firmware and erase all your settings.  So, if you can access the camera, you should save all your settings before proceeding.

I tried a few times using a paperclip to RESET(at the side) for >1min but the red red light refused to go off.

Are you able to login to the camera web interface? If so, can you upload an older version of the firmware?

I can't detect the camera at both the setup wizard or web interface

The camera is connected to my Windows 7 PC directly through a a network cable...

Connect the camera to a port on your router, not directly to your PC.
