Night Mode - Ability to disable IR Illuminator while the camera is in Night Mode (i.e. to enable application of a third party IR Illuminator) [FIXED!]

How do I disable the IR in night mode?

Perhaps "Fixed" is a misnomer.  I believe there is an option on the Web UI LIVE VIDEO page.

Hi,
a couple of thieves entered in my home 6 days ago. Thanks to this webcam I have snapshots with theirs faces. Unfortunately the email notification is arrived later so they had stolen all the jewelry that we had.
I'm here to ask again if is possible to implement the multi email notification, but not only.
My request is: is not possible to implement also a feature that permit the notification with sms or with a preregistrated voice that call a number of telephone?
I can imagine that is not simple but I think that this could be a paid service that D-Link could implement.
Thanks a lot.

[RYAT3]

You need a security system, not a camera.

Lowes Iris will do this.
Insteon is another such system available online.

Both are free from monthly fees.

Thanks for your reply.
But I live in Italy and not all of this devices are accessible for me.
However I think that D-Link has the right devices, just missing some "details"

Sorry about that...

I tried to research dlink before I went with lowe's... didn't find much in the security type department.. came across something from 06-08, but appeared to be abandoned.  javalawyer had no response to my inquiry about the product, so must be dead.
