Presently have DCS-2121 cameras that record directly to network/samba.

Now bought the DCS-932L , but to my surprise it does not support samba.

I know the d-viewcam software allows to record to a network,
but in order to do that should my pc stay on?

Meaning; should the d-view sofware run, or will it upload the settings to the camera,
which will then record directly to the network?

Unfortunately, the DCS-932L does not have the capacity to record video without the aid of a PC running the D-ViewCam software.

that's what i figured.
i wrote do d-link (france) who say there is not intention to offer Samba in future firmware...
So i can send my cameras back... i find it very very strange, especially as it's just a software feature
(not hardware...)

Some of the newer model cameras, e.g. DCS-942L, have an on-board flash memory card for internal recording. D-Link also sells the DNR-322L Two Bay mydlink™ NVR, which offers direct recording from mydlink enabled cameras without the need for a client PC.

I'll check the 322 out.

on board recording is no use either as i want the recordings to be safe (hidden somewhere) in case of a breakin.

Here are some links to get you started:

• D-Link USA Website - DNR-322L
• mydlink Website - DNR-322L

You can download the full DNR-322L manual on the mydlink website support section.

We created a new DNR-322L board here.
