Learn how to install the HomeCamera firmware

This page assumes that you have already downloaded and installed the Installation Wizard and that you have downloaded the HomeCamera firmware. (If your camera came with a HomeCamera sticker on the box, you already have everything you need.)

If your camera did not come with a HomeCamera sticker on the box, you’ll need to upgrade your firmware first. Here’s how to do this.

Step 1. Launch the installation wizard.
Note: You MUST use the Installation wizard downloaded from this site. Your old installation wizard will NOT work with the HomeCamera firmware.

The wizard will automatically “find” your camera. Place a check-box against your camera - this will enable the options in the left menu bar. Click on Upgrade.

This warning is important - it’s reminding you that if you attempt to upgrade the firmware over wireless, you will irretrievably damage your camera. Make SURE the camera is connected through a wired connection to your router.

Step 2. Locate the directory where you downloaded the new firmware file.
Ensure the firmware file is selected (as shown below) and then click “Upgrade”.

The firmware upgrade process will begin and end in around 5 - 10 minutes.	Do not interrupt the process until it's 100% complete. Refer to the image below.

When this concludes, your camera will have been upgraded to support HomeCamera. Your camera’s “old” functionality will not be affected. If, at some point, you decide you do not want the HomeCamera firmware, simply download the latest firmware file from your D-Link country website and follow the process above to remove the HomeCamera functionality.

You are now ready to setup your camera.
