1-->>  IR illuminator control features. --

I have same problem with window reflecting IR,  Also... With enough background light from outdoor lights etc. the sensitive IR camera does not need an illuminator.

2-->> Add finer Motion Detection block selection.

If the Motion detection blocks were all just quartered ( 1/4) then that would give much greater tuning of motion detection  area.

**IDEALLY** : I would like to either add and slide detection blocks around into position or drop and  resize blocks rectangles or BEST.. free draw a line around the areas I want to detect motion (or block out). Define my own blocks/blobs. Example : One area that I am detecting outside a window has lots of foot traffic, objects,  bushes and trees. I want to detect  movement on near side of the trees, bushes and objects but not beyond or the other side. The camera field of view and large motion detection blocks prevents positioning camera optimally for this type of motion detection.

3-->> Auto camera light exposure settings ?

Like on the digital cameras that have auto exposure settings for {evaluative, spot, centered, etc..} because I am having trouble with bright areas changing over time in the image causing overexposure and the dark area being under exposed. I have tried many different Bright / Contrast / Saturation combinations to no avail however going to Night mode seems to help

4-->> More camera exposure settings options

Standard camera or Image style settings such as Color temp, Tint, Sharpness, etc ...

5-->> Magnification Image -- Panning ability ??
 
I assume magnification is digital ?  if so then would it be possible to have a pan image option while using the magnification buttons ? currently it magnifies just the center of image and you lose the outer edges that you may be more interested in. NOTE this is just image panning suggestion NOT a camera panning suggestion.

6-->> Add Automatic get time from a computer setting or use last known time ?

We get frequent power  fluctuations and the cameras reset their time dates to 1/1/2013 00:00:00. So the year is kept but month day and time all get reset to beginning and then I have to  go back and reset them. We have NO local NTP server setup and that port/service is  blocked by routers or firewalls

7-->> notification or  summary e-mail for accesses/attempts to camera

8-->> Motion detection indicator on the web interface to aid user in  adjusting the proper  sensitivity.

It is trial and error  currently  with frequent inundation with e-mail notifications

I am missing one input from on of the earliest posts in this thread:
 -- prevent motion trigger when switching between Day and Night modes

I am also having this problem. I get false motion triggers each time the mode is switched implying that I only can use night mode. I think that the motion detection triggers should be surpressed when this happens.

Just bought 2 DCS-932L cameras and was surprised to find out that we cannot set motion-detection within a schedule.  Wow.  Forced to unplug the cameras when we are home to stop the detected motion emails.   

And what's worse is that this should be an easy code fix (yah "fix" I mean really this is not supported - what a joke) and its been on a "Wish List" for years now (I see complaints about this back to 2011 after Googling the issue.

If there's no plans to fix this now, then no choice but to send these back...  Any official comment from D-Link?  Any bootleg copy of the firmware that does this?

I think if there was any version (official or not) that had that feature, most of us would be using it. I would.

I also think that if you are able to send them back then you should do so. Partially because a message needs to be sent to D-Link that this performance is not acceptable. Mostly though, because I personally think that they are never going to do anything about it, so you should find something else.

Motion detection on a schedule is something that is presently available on the DCS-931L/932L, which are the successors to the DCS-930L/932L. A number of items on this wishlist have made their way onto the newer models. There is no third party firmware that can replace official D-Link firmware.
