It is a must to control/change all ports (https & co) in web-admin. All bought cams are useless as for me now as I need port 443 for exchange (OWA) and finally all external exchange clients can`t log in anymore as 443 is blocked by the cams via router`s UPnP.

Funny thing 443 is portforwarded to the servers IP but the cams force the router, as trying to call the port till it`s opened by UPnP. One time opened, it`s  blocked - the UPnP-entry (443) blocks this port till I manual delet all entrys in table. Then external exchange clients are able to login again to the server.

So only solution is to control this port - change it camera side to another like you have it on other models!!!

Thanks - same I posted to the DCS-5222L as this model is also same firmware & have same bug!

• It should possible, to set triggered duration of an uploaded FTP video clip to at least the same value (Seconds) as SD Recording. More would be nice.
• Why is minimum range value of 'Send next FTP after' 10 seconds, why not less?? Why should there be a cap in recordings, if duration of triggered FTP is longer than maximum duration? Zero or 1 second as minimum value would be nice

I personally can't get the audio stream of my DCS-942L to work with any 3rd party application for the iphone.

If this could be fixed via firmware, then I'd like to see that on the wishlist.

Can others validate this issue? I think a more clearly defined request would be user access to the live audio stream, similar to to //[CAMERA_IP_ADDRESS/mjpeg.cgi/

[happyhere]

my wishlist for DCS-942L

General - Add option to have a scheduled reboot of the the DCS camera (E.g. every 5:00am) or maybe time interval.

A solution other users have used is to plug the DCS-942L into a house timer to force a daily reboot.

Are there DCS-942L owners that can validate whether any outstanding requests on this list were satisfied?

Thanks! 

[rabbitroger]

Searched the internet & this site for an hour with with no luck.
DCS-942L firmware ver 1.12
This form says we can email to more then 1 email address.
I have tried
Recipient E-mail Address    to one address works perfect.
trying to send to two address no luck.. tried
address,address
address;address
address+address
"address,address"
etc. etc.
Anyone have this info for me?
Thanks.

I want to propose option for quick setup recording.
Example: i go out at different time, and "shedule of record" not for me.

So i must:

1. Login on CAM1
2. Setup "Snapshot" by motion
3. Save, wait for save.
4. Then i go to "Video Clip" and perform step 3 again
5. The same story for "SD-recording

Maybe make some script like quickstart.cgi who ran a recording chamber. (I would have been able to run it from a smartphone via IP)

PS: Now I try to find a POST-request for the same actions
