Yes, I have the latest version.
Are you opening an existing project with a camera in it, or adding the camera to a new project? I am seeing it when I open my existing project.
If you think it might be project related, mine is on the cloud. name is "myroli" (original, I know) and it is tagged as rovers, incomplete.
I can test later today on different computers. The one I was doing most of the testing on is Windows 7 Professional (64 bit), but I can try on my Windows 8.1 tablet later.

I confirmed that opening my existing project on Windows 8.1 has the same issue. Adding a new camera to a new project, all the Camera variables do appear, but when I save that project, stop ARC, restart ARC and load that project, no Camera variables appear until the first time I successfully start the camera for that session.
While I was testing, you released version 2014.11.18.00 so I installed it and re-tested with the same results.
