Hi,
To motion detection, I would add "interval of x minutes before decting the next motion".
It may prevent from being rejected by your e mail server if someone is staying a long time next to a cam with motion detection activated.
Thanks

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for here. Is your goal to reduce the frequency of emails from motion events?

[Monval]

Yes, in case somebody stays few hours next to a cam, you'll get so many E mails that your ISP will reject your mails for about 24hrs. Then if you leave your house you're not protected anymore.
It's a happy middle between sensitivity of detection, mail rejection risk (then no protection), home being empty or not.
It should be a value between 1 to 10 minutes (like 1, 2, 3, 5, 10).
I used this parameter with my previous cams (with 5 minutes) and never got rejected since I used it.
With my 4 new DCS932L and sensitivity at 5%, I have this issue.
In addition, when one cam is sending too many mails, every cam of the same type (or may be Brandt) is being rejected by my ISP (using same E mail address or different ones). When one of my 4 DCS932L is sending too many mails, my 4 DCS932L are being rejected, but not my old cams.
Thanks

On top of my wishlist I like to see SSL. I got this camera (as a gift) for home security. Doesn't it seam right that this kind of product should have secure login and video stream? It is rather easy for anyone wanting to do harm to listen in on your wi-fi and crack the encryption in a few minutes. They then snap up your html session on the wi-fi signal and read the video stream.

Second is motion detection email on a user defined schedule.

MOTION DETECTION // LIVE VIDEO - to let me record also video on ftp server, not only picture.

In my opinion this is the worst missing feature that let this IP camera not so usefull.

Happy NEW YEAR, GIOVANNI

Night Mode - Disable IR LEDs.

This would be very useful for me and other users as can be seen from this topic: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=38731

Currently users have to cover the LEDs with electrical tape or open the camera and cut some wires when using an external IR source.

Hi JavaLawyer,

what about the new complete "wishlist" you have done ... maybe some features will be done or it will remain "wish" ?.?. and how long

I have two DCS932L(s) for a new customer but they currently do not record videos (this feature is a must for this guy). I don't know if to wait or to change them with other IP cameras ...

Thank you in advace,
Giovanni

Hi JavaLawyer,

I know that D-Link reviews these boards, but can not say if or when any of our suggestions will be integrated in new firmware. As far as recording video, the only option presently available on the DCS-932L is to use D-ViewCam (or a third party application) running from a PC on the same network as your DCS-932Ls. Newer DCS models (e.g. DCS-942L) have the ability to record video to on-board removable memory or to an external storage device.
