Now that the DCS-930 has a dedicated board, we can restart our firmware wishlist.

[acellier]

It would be oh-so-nice if the ftp filename Date/Time Suffix would include a bit of segmenting punctuation, so that instead of:
DCS-930L_2011090114562601.jpg
we could have
DCS-930L_20110901_14562601.jpg
or
DCS-930L_2011.0901.1456.2601.jpg
for easier readability

I hope the dlink developers read this!

[acellier]

It would be nice if the status panel could indicate how many connections of what type are being served.

[acellier]

Upon motion detection (scheduled!), then ftp multiple images, pre- and post-trigger, just like the email does.

[acellier]

Please, have Status page (http://x.x.x.x/stsdev.htm) indicate summary of reporting status, i.e. is email or ftp enabled, is motion detection enabled.
It should be easy to at least have a row if numbers.
And, make the time readout REAL - the time shown appears to be a javascript clock that stops and starts, so it is not truly indicating the status of the camera.

[acellier]

Please provide a choice of 2 fps in the Video panel (currently 1,5,7,15,20,[30]) - perhaps could be 1,2,4,8,15,...
The gap from 1 to 5 is quite large, and 1 is just a tad jerky.

[acellier]

The request for 2 fps video rate should have said "also in motion detector + ftp, or + email, mode"

Below is a summary of everyone's input thus far. Please let me know if I over-generalized, misrepresented, or overlooked anyone's concerns and I'll refresh the list with updates.

• mydlink - mydlink registration independent of device configuration wizard
• General - Daylight savings time support
• General - Disable telnet and enable SSH for command line access
• General - Admin password length too short
• General - User password length too short
• General - Add more detail to status page: e.g. email enabled or ftp enabled, motion detection enabled etc.
• General - Include more segmentation for the FTP file name date/time suffix: e.g. change "DCS-930L_2011090114562601.jpg" to "DCS-930L_20110901_14562601.jpg" or "DCS-930L_2011.0901.1456.2601.jpg"
• General - Status page containing the number and type of connections currently served
• Motion Detection - Motion detection email on a user defined schedule
• Motion Detection - Motion detection FTP on a schedule
• Motion Detection - User defined frame capture rate for motion detection emails (indpendent of video FPS)
• Video - RTSP Streaming (.cgi is not the best solution for protocols like VLC)
• Video - Add "2" FPS option to the FPS drop-down menu (currently 1, 5, 7, 15, 20, 30)
• Audio - Resolve intermittent background audio clicking

General - Status page containing the number and type of connections currently served AND ACTUAL TIME OR OPERATIONAL STATUS -
currently, a javascript keeps time incrementing making it appear the camera is connected even when powered off.

ftp setup - have the response to the test message appear on the ftp setup page with a refresh, rather than going thru 3 pages and back

Add a specific control for user language
(the French menus after firmware update were a bit of confusion!)
Or at least a help comment on the firmware page, about need to restart after updating!
But, what if I WERE French?

I will  put this on the top of the list:

•Motion Detection - Motion detection email on a user defined schedule

My use case: I want to monitor my home while the kids are at school, so that they return to safe home.

The user define schedule in my case is M-F from 9 AM to 3 PM and don't want to be flooded with motion detection e-mail alerts at other times, when we are home.
