Hi!
I just got my DCS-6010L yesterday. I set it up with the CD bundled and created a mydlink A/C successfully.
I accessed the web based config page and go to Maintenance ---> Firmware Update and upload the firmware downloaded from mydlink to the IP Camera. Unfortunately, I did not notice that D-link told their customers not to update firmwares over a wireless connection as it was not mentioned at the download page nor at the configuration page.
I would like to ask if this will brick the IP camera? I was still able to access the camera and ping it. Should I re-flash the firmware over a wired connection again in case something had gone wrong?

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

It sounds like the camera still works, so how do you think you bricked it?

Sorry, I am a complete noob about this.
I afraid that the firmware is not completely over-written and I have soft-bricked the camera.

You can try setting the camera back to the factory default settings.  While the camera is powered-up, press and hold the recessed Reset button on the rear of the camera (using an open paperclip) for >8 seconds. If this procedure does not work, your only recourse may be to either return the camera to the vendor for a replacement, or call D-Link for an RMA.

Please post back and let us know if the reset procedure helps.
