From other software that I have used in the past, a couple of things that would be nice to see would be:

The ability to change the exposure or fstop of the camera. Sometimes the background might be bright but what you want to see is in the foreground which is not as bright so the camera sets the exposure based on the background making the foreground too dark to see anything. An override for this would be nice.

The ability to have the camera return to the home position automatically after a certain amount of inactive time has passed.

These are 2 features I found helpful is other cam software.

Old thread, hopefully it's still hot. I'd like to see real-time SMS notification for motion/sound detection instead of email. I've received email notifications 2 - 3 hours after the occurrence. Pretty useless if some miscreant was on the property then but long gone by the time I'm aware of it.
