D-Link DCS-5222L notes on how to upgrade and general usage ​

Upgrade firmware ​

Check current version ​

Log in to your camera locally, you need to know your camera's IP address on the local network. Mine is is 192.168.1.50 so I will go to http://192.168.1.50 in my web browser. There you will be challenged to login. Username will be admin unless you configured something else. The password was hopefully set by you the initial setup of your camera.

Then navigate to Maintenance on the top navigation bar, then Firmware upgrade on the left navigation bar and you will see something like this screenshot:
dlink dcs-5222l maintenance

The current version in this example is 2.03.01.

Find latest firmware ​

Go to D-Link DCS-5222L technical support downloads and select your revision A or B. There you will find firmware among other downloads and you see which is the latest version, screenshot:
dlink dcs-5222l support downloads

The latest available version in this example is 2.16.03

If your current version is outdated, download the latest now and proceed.

Execute the upgrade ​

When I wrote this the latest version was a file with the name DCS-5222L_REVB_FIRMWARE_v2.16.03_HOTFIX.zip
Now you need to unzip this, because it's the .bin file we are interested in.

Select the file and hit upload in the maintenance/firmware upgrade window, same as where you found your current version.

Your camera will blink a red light and your browser will be loading while the updating takes place.

After a time your browser maybe reload to the main page, if not, just re-enter your ip url - in my case http://192.168.1.50
And it should now say Current Firmware Version: 2.16.03
