Time Schedule works ok when using times in the same day. ie 8am to 8pm
However, if you try to set the schedule from 6pm to 6am - does not appear to work.
I had trouble explaining this to D-Link support also.
I just want the cameras to detect motion overnight...

I understand now. You would need the ability to schedule two sessions during the same day for that to work (12AM-6AM, 6PM-11:59PM). Another request option could be to only enable motion detection during Night Mode, Day Mode, or Always.

Added to wishlist. . .

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. Items fixed in the latest firmware update are striked out.

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

Night Mode - Option to disable IR illuminators


SETUP -> Day/Night mode ->     Always Day Mode


It works

I don't think the entry was clear, so I modified it. The request is to allow the DCS-5020L to stay in Night Mode (black and white w/ IR filter enabled) with the on-board IR illuminators disabled so an external IR illuminator can be used instead.

Thanks for your clarification, JavaLawyer.

Motion Detection - Option to schedule multiple motion detection events during a single day

is not available but as for AUSUSER's original request:
"Time Schedule works ok when using times in the same day. ie 8am to 8pm
However, if you try to set the schedule from 6pm to 6am - does not appear to work.
I had trouble explaining this to D-Link support also.
I just want the cameras to detect motion overnight..."

Overnight schedule is working in latest firmware 1.02b5.

Are you saying that scheduling 6PM to 6AM does work on FW v1.02b05? 

[RCC]

yes

[JavaLawyer]

yes

This improvement negates the need for multiple motion detection event windows within the same calendar day.  Will remove that item.

Since this is a wish list... I wish you hadn't used Java as your development language.  Java ought to be depricated and destroyed.
