Firmware not working. Motion sensor failed after update. When can we expect a new firmware to eliminated all these issues?

Xccess - Please elaborate. What exactly isn't working? What sensitivity did you set? Explain your environment.

Camera mounted outside main entrance, changed in ambient lighting triggered false notification. After Beta firmware update, motion detection failed even when I stood infront of camera, sensitivity level set at 90%.
Had since revert back to previous firmware.

Thanks for this information.

I hope these bugs will get worked out as I'm in the market for a second camera but at this time I can't justify buying a second 936L.
Please keep us up to date.

We will.

Looks like I am having the same results as the other posts. False triggers are down, but now it does not trigger if you actually have motion, i.e. someone standing in front of it wave their arms. I tried adjusting the sensitivity from 0 to 100, with no noticeable change. I have left the new(beta) firmware loaded since the old firmware didn't work either.

same here... although I found that if you point the camera at the sun and walk in front it may record the event, maybe

actually I have a couple of these set at 95% and it does pick up movement against areas of contrast, so night view becomes more of a problem.

Im seeing the same and have already forwarded this on to D-Link...

Just thought I would post since people are having issues with the Beta. I posted my results in
http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=0r222j6kefct4ot8v3ntaq5uj0&topic=66603.15

In short I am not having any false positives to speak of for the most part anymore after upgrading to the Beta. I am set around 80% or so sensitivity. It detects every time without fail when I am in front of it...it is mounted outside under patio. The one in my garage is working good also. 

So the issue everyone MIGHT be having which is what I experienced is that if you upgrade to this Beta OR reboot the camera, you have to reformat the SD card for it to record.  Dlink did confirm this on the other forum.  My experience has been excellent with this Beta firmware on two cameras's 936L.

I'll try rebooting mine and set for 80%...

[FurryNutz]

So after setting 80% yesterday and rebooting the camera. I have not received one notification of motion detect. There was motion yesterday and still going today and people have been moving around in front of where I have my camera placed. 

I'll try rebooting mine and set for 80%...

@Furrynutz  Did you reformat the SD card...Like I mentioned above I got NO recording for motion until I reformatted the SD card.  It was required after the initial upgrade of the firmware OR any reboots of the camera

[FurryNutz]

My camera doesn't have a SD Card. This something that's needed for motion detection or should it work with out it?

Wanted to take a moment to update my testing of the beta firmware. I tried formatting the SD card and rebooting. Did not help. I also set the sensitivity to 80%, as recommended by others. Did not help. Even though the false detection have been substantially reduced, the camera still does not record actual motion. I have noticed that it always detects motion\records when the camera switches to and from night vision. I am really beginning to wonder if D-Link does any of their own testing or if they are leaving that us to us?
