With so many changes I suspect this will take a while. So, how long is "a while?"

On top of having three D-link 932Ls cameras I love, I also have a Linksys\Cisco WVC80N camera and a Logitech Alert 750  camera, and both have motion detection with email alerts and a setting for time between alerts (I know on list already) but on the Cisco you can control the email content to send so many frames before and after motion is detected. So I get a email with about 14 frames and that is the only reason I use that camera

[MarkPenders]

I'm a user since a couple of days (after my colleague successfully posted pics of the thiefs in his house). Two items are on my wish list:

- user defined interval in which motion detection takes place (already on the list)
- a "motion dectect NOW"-button or -functionality (e.g. when you suddenly have to leave the house)

Cheers,

Mark

- a "motion dectect NOW"-button or -functionality (e.g. when you suddenly have to leave the house)

I'm not quite sure what you mean.  The web interface already has a Motion Detection enable/disable option.

[MarkPenders]

True, but logging in isn't always convenient. I'm thinking of an of/off switch in the dlink iPad-app, or a small app on a PC.

[JavaLawyer]

Understood. That request falls under the purview of mydlink.com website or apps. There's a wishlist sticky post for those types of items at the top of this board: mydlink.com

[gettingout]

I've just setup two DCS-932L's (firmware 1.0.3) and am considering buying some more.

Features not on the list that I'd like and don't currently see available are:

1) Support for SMB.
Rationale: Home router exports SMB but not FTP. Higher bandwidth to router SMB.
2) Configuring JPEG parameters for image quality.
Rationale: Pictures seem to be fixed around 30KB, still quality does not seem as good as live video feed.
3) Upload to Amazon S3 / Windows Azure / SkyDrive storage accounts (all are REST interfaces).
Rationale: ftp is dying and getting expensive to find, cheaper alternatives exist.
4) Ability to turn off LEDs.
Rationale: camera is immediately visible to an intruder. (alt: use tape).
5) Ability to clone settings from one camera to another.
Rationale: manually cloning settings is tedious and error ridden.


If the source code for the web server is open and has a path for incorporating user changes, I'm happy to spend cycles contributing to making these work.

BTW, OOBE is fairly ugly with these devices. The self-signed certificates, the plugins, turning off UAC, active-X controls that run cmd.exe scripts that futz with the registry etc. Yuk! No chance of my Mom being able to set one up. Once they are working, they are pretty impressive though.

Added... 

4) Ability to turn off LEDs.
Rationale: camera is immediately visible to an intruder. (alt: use tape).

This functionality already exists:

• Log into the web interface
• MAINTENANCE > Admin > LED Control > Normal/Off

5) Ability to clone settings from one camera to another.
Rationale: manually cloning settings is tedious and error ridden.

This functionality already exists. Save a copy of the DCS-932L configuration to a file from camera 1 and upload to camera 2:

• Log into the web interface
• MAINTENANCE > System > Save Configuration
• MAINTENANCE > System > Restore Configuration from File

I see my top wishes are already on the list:

Ability to turn off the IR LEDs
More time intervals available for scheduling for motion based email notifications.
Time limit before sending more motion based email notifications.

But how about being able to set the brightness/contrast separately for day and night mode?

I use my camera through a window to monitor my driveway at night.  IR LEDs reflect off the window so by taping over them and turning up the brightness, I can see my driveway.  But when it switches back to daylight mode in the morning sun, the high brightness washes out the image.
