Hello all,

I've just received my DCS-5220 & DCS-70 yesterday in order to monitor several exterior spots around my house (may need a second one later on if I'm happy with this one).
Here is the network part related to the cam:

Camera : DCS-5220
Primary router/modem : Netgear DG834 (ADSL2+)
Spare router/modem : Dlink DSL-G604T (ADSL)
Server : Ubuntu 8.04 Server Edition with Samba/Proftp/ssh servers available.

Before buying the 5220, I thought I've seen it was WPA2 compliant ... But I've only been able to configure WPA.
I thought as well a SMB and/or NFS client was available to save videos and snapshots, but I've only been able to configure FTP.

Did I miss something ? My firmware is too old (it's 1.05) ?

Thanks in advance !

Extra question : Is it possible to enable an ssh/telnet access to the 5220 ? I'd rather use CLI to configure/manage the CAM instead of the HTTP GUI.

Regards.

Another question about the 5220 firmware.

regarding the Maintenance/Firmware tab I can see:
Current Firmware Version: 1.05 
Current Firmware Date: 17 Feb 2009 

But on the support site for the 5220 I can download:
Version  Description              Date
1.04      DCS-5220 Firmware   18/03/2009

Should I use the latest release (1.05) or the youngest (1.04) ?

Thanks

Ya I only see WPA support available on this camera. And the camera must be configured in the web GUI. FTP also seems to be the only native feature for storing images on this camera otherwise D-ViewCamv3.0 software should be used on a PC.
