D-Link updated the release notes for the DNS-345, i.e. an item was added: [My Surveillance] UI enhancement and more cameras supported

Since My Surveillance is an add-on, I can only presume the supported cameras is a configuration file that the firmware update can overwrite or amend.

Can any DNS-345 owners with the latest firmware installed validate that this latest version has more recent Cloud Cameras listed?

[FurryNutz]

Will give this a try this evening after work sir.

[JavaLawyer]

Thanks, I'm curious if your DCS-933L will be picked-up.   

[FurryNutz]

We shall see. I hope so...Will be nice to capture video to the DNS directly. 

[JavaLawyer]

You'll like using it, although the add-on can easily chew through HDD space very quickly, especially if multiple cameras are associated, each with scheduled recording periods.

[FurryNutz]

Only have one. 

[JavaLawyer]

Well, leave it on 24x7 with maxed-out image/video settings and see how long your HDDs last.

DCS-933L still not listed in SC after v1.03 FW update. 

[JavaLawyer]

The release notes were rather vague, and I'm still questioning how the firmware upgrade impacts the Surveillance Center add-on, since it's a separate install.

[FurryNutz]

Ya, and I believe I have the latest SC version...v2.00? I think.

If I recall correctly (it's been a while), there may be a v2.01 release.
The release notes (for the DNS-345 v1.03 FW) also indicated updated UI elements in Surveillance Center.

Following the latest DNS-345 firmware update (v1.03b06) I was able to coax the Surveillance Center v2.0 add-on to recognize my DCS-931L and DCS-5020L. These two cameras do not appear as options in the camera dropdown menu, but can be manually added, something that I was unable to get working properly in older DNS-345 firmware versions.

Open Surveillance Center and under Camera Setup select DCS-930 as the camera Model, enter the network camera IP address, and username/password combination. Using this approach I was able to tap into the live video and audio stream for the newer Cloud Cameras, although the advanced functions, like PTZ did not work for the DCS-5020L.

[FurryNutz]

When are they going to add the 933L to SC?

Good question.  The only cameras currently supported in the add-on are a couple of years old. At least you have a means of accessing the camera using this ad hoc method. For the DCS-933L, which doesn't have any pan tilt capabilities, the workaround I described below may in fact provide 100% functionality.

[FurryNutz]

I'll give it a try...again.
