Please add the following to the wish list if you would be so kind:

- Ability to move camera via "point-and-click" (or tap/swipe for touchscreen interface) when in browser "Video Full Screen" mode and/or add right-click pop-up menu to select from preset position list when in the full screen viewing mode.

This seems like something that would be added to the mydlink app rather than the DCS-5222L FW.

- Ability to configure periodic DDNS update rate to as frequent as hourly (to reduce the time the camera cannot be accessed from the internet using hostname service when DHCP IP change occurs and DDNS update fails). This will eliminate the need to either use the camera's "reboot" option to automatically, or to manually, correct a loss of DDNS synch.

- Ability to select FULL or QUICK format of SD card

This wishlist contains firmware suggestions provided by the forum community and may not reflect actual changes to current or future D-Link firmware releases. Below is a summary of everyone's input thus far. Please let me know if I over generalized, misrepresented, or missed anyone's concerns and I'll refresh the list with updates. Recent items are highlighted in blue.

If any items in the wishlist were fixed by the latest firmware, please post and I'll update!

• Motion Detection - Option to limit motion detection event recording length to the duration of the event (rather than a fixed period, e.g. 10 seconds)

• Security - SFTP support
• Security - User defined session timeout period
• Status - Add indicator describing the signal state of the digital input (e.g. green for high and red for low)

• Status - Wireless signal strength indicator on the Status page
• Images - Increase image quality range for generated JPGs (i.e. option to reduce the compression level further than currently available via the firmware)
• Video - Ability to control image exposure (shutter speed), particularly in night mode (i.e. current implementation adjusts the exposure each frame rather than smoothly interpolating exposure, resulting in unnecessary strobing in dark scenes)
• Video - Add option for RTSP stream at the camera's native image sensor quality (i.e. current RTSP streaming options are too heavily compressed and contain too many artifacts to support advanced image processing)
• Video - Support for RAW (bayer mask) streaming for 160x80 or RGB

Wishlist Items Addressed by D-Link (Thank You!)

• Night Mode - Ability to specify the light level required for transitioning from day to nite mode (current fixed mode transitions too early)

Thanks for adding the SD card request.

For the "Full Screen" related request, I was primarily referring to the Internet Explorer plugin in the camera's HTML interface. I assume that is where this "ability to move the camera in full screen mode" functionality exists?

For mobile, I use JustConnect+ and that app. to my understanding, always operates in full-screen mode and already has the capability to move the camera, so I have no issues with that mobile app. Sorry for the confusion.

So again, can you consider modifying the browser plugin so I can move the camera in full screen mode when using an internet browser from a Windows PC (including a Surface PRO and maybe other tablets that use the browser plugin and have a touch screen interface)?

Much appreciated!! :-)

MyDlinkLite 3.4.2 on my Android tablet has this swipe thing you mention. It works all my 5222l rev a and b. and 5010L.

I don't like it.

When will you make these "addressed by DLINK" items available to users? I just checked (again) and latest firmware on the support page still shows 1.12 from last May (2014)
http://support.dlink.com/ProductInfo.aspx?m=DCS-5222L

Is it also possible you could focus efforts on resolving reliability issues as highest priority over new features? Much appreciated if you could.

Hi,

I don't know if this is the right topc, but would it be possible to add a functionnality to record directly on a dropbox or google drive account?
I don't understand the interest to save on the sd card, and with mails I just have 5 sec videos...

thanks

This is a firmware wishlist maintained by the forum community and is not a promise that something will (or won't) make it's way into new firmware. D-Link does visit the forum and I can say that they have read through wishlist threads maintained for various products here.

I can't connect to my DLink Camera!  I get this error message:  Connection Timed Out (017f060300)
How can I fix this, it has been going on way too long?

[TheBarnes]

Chrome is getting rid of NPAPI-plug-in support (@ Sept 2015) and most other browser will follow. I think that calls for a rewrite of the liveView.cgi that is needed to see the camera's live video or change the Setup/Maintenance. Since that looks to be included in the firmware, it should be modified to house a different type of plugin.

[FurryNutz]

Other Mfr browsers should be tested as well as a alternate to Chrome while this issue is in transition. I presume D-Link is aware of it and will take steps to ensure there products continue to work with all browsers.

Would this be the right place to ask if the video compression has actually been optimised? I just upgraded a pair of DCS2132L's from their factory firmware v 1.01 to the latest v1.05.02, and at the same video setting the bandwidth (as reported by my DNR322) dropped from around 950kbps to around 250kbps. That's a 75% reduction in bandwidth with no changes in settings, so I assume it's simply down to optimisation. My DCS5222LB2, at firmware 2.03.01, at the same video settings as the 2132's (i.e. 1280x720, 15fps, fixed quality "good") are using 2500kbps. That's ten times the bandwidth and the same resolution.

Given the 75% drop I saw when upgrading the 2132's, I wonder if the 5222's also need a tweak?
