I have a DNR-202L with v1.00 firmware. I was able to add a DCS-5010L camera to it fine and record and view online.

I bought a DCS-5222LB1 and upgraded the firmware to 2.01.05 (latest from support site)

I am unable to add this camera to the DNR. I tried using the utility form the support site and directly through the web interface.  I even tried clicking the search button on the front.

I tried resetting the DNR-202L to factory defaults and re-add, but only the DCS-5010L camera is visible. I reset the DCS-5222LB1 to factory defaults, but still no luck.

The DCS-5222LB1 is added to my mydlink.com account, and I can see that and the DCS-5010L just fine for instant remote viewing.

The DCS-5222LB1 is invisible to the DNR-202L and can't record anything with it.

Please advise.

I am in the same boat...

I've escalated this to D-Link to see if there are any known issues and will post back if I hear anything.

Just to clarify my previous post, I have a DCS-2132LB1 that the DNR-202L cannot find. I currently have a DCS-2132L already connected.

Thanks for the clarification. And so I understand you correctly, the DNR-202L cannot autodiscover the DCS-5222L Rev B? Do you have the option to manually input the camera by IP address and select the DCS-5222L as a camera model?

[jhzero]

I did not see that option anywhere.  Where would I see that option?

[ReverendTed]

Well how about that.  That's an option I didn't even know existed.

Under Setup - Add Camera, click a camera in the list to see its settings.
You can also click an empty slot in the list to specify the settings for the camera.

The user manual points out the option, but it's not stated that clearly, more of an inference. Ideally, the firmware should simply have an option to manually add a camera.

Were you able to try out this option? I don't have access to a DNR-202L for testing.

I got it to work.

I logged into the DNR-202L web site, and went to the SETUP tab.  On one of empty slots i clicked the "camera" word, and was promoted to fill in the name, IP, etc.  It worked.  I gave the DCS-5222LB1 a static IP address in case my router assigns in a new IP during a reboot or power outage.

Thank you.
