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!

DCS-930L Wishlist

• General - Ability to save a user defined default value (ActiveX or Java) for LIVE VIDEO > Camera > FUNCTION
• General - Add control for user language
• General - Add log file generation
  
• General - Add more detail to status page (e.g. email enabled, ftp enabled, motion detection enabled)
• General - Daylight savings time support
• General - Disable telnet and enable SSH for command line access
• General - Exposure setting dropdown menu with stepwise 0.5 EV unit increments from 02.5 to +2.5 EV
• General - Include more segmentation for the FTP file name date/time suffix: e.g. change "DCS-930L_2011090114562601.jpg" to "DCS-930L_20110901_14562601.jpg" or "DCS-930L_2011.0901.1456.2601.jpg"
• General - Option to include date and time stamps on captured images
• General - OSD Date/Time with formatting options
• General - Status page containing the number and type of connections currently served and actual time/operational status (Current JavaScript implementation falsely reports connection time by incrementing counter when camera is powered off)
• General - Time Zone configuration does not function properly. When timezone is changed, the device gets confused and fails to sync the correct time
• FTP - Ability to maintain an FTP'd image history for a user defined period (e.g. 24 hours) whereby older images are automatically deleted, ensuring no more than a fixed number of images are maintained on the destination server at any given time
• FTP - FTPS support
• FTP - Maintain open FTP session until all images from the motion detection event are pushed to the server (rather than open/close, open/close, open/close, etc)
• FTP - Option to set a user-defined duration for images to push to an FTP location following a motion detection event (e.g. 3 minutes)
• FTP - Store FTP test file in the folder created by selecting the "Test" option under "TEST FTP SERVER" (selcting "Test" currently creates a new folder and store the FTP test file in the root of the FTP server "Host Name" + "Path", leaving the test folder empty)
  
• FTP - Test failure messages should display the cause of failure (e.g."server not found", "unknown username", "bad password");  the current messaging "Failed" provides little diagnostic value
• FTP - Test message should appear on the FTP setup page following refresh (currently requires iterating through multiple pages)
• Image - Add ability to rotate image 90 and 270 degrees (in addition to "Flip Image")
• Motion Detection - Include a text string in the email notifications indicating the motion detection grid area(s) breached during a motion detection event
• Motion Detection - Motion detection indicator integrated in the web interface to more easily (and accurately) adjust sensitivity
• Motion Detection - Option to FTP images immediately before and after a motion detection event (similar to the current email option)
• mydlink - mydlink registration independent of device configuration wizard
• Security - Ability to disable broadcasting of video/audio feed (i.e. to prevent potential hijacking of feed)
• Security - Hide pre-shared key (i.e. do not display as plain text)
• Security - Support for secure broadcasting of video/audio feed (SSL, HTTPS)
• Video - Add "2" FPS option to the FPS drop-down menu (currently 1, 5, 7, 15, 20, 30)
• Video - RTSP Streaming (.cgi is not the best solution for protocols like VLC)
• Video - The "Zoom" function in the web UI should magnify the video image from the center of the frame rather than the top left corner
• Bug - Address the ClassNotFoundException error associated with motion detection and Java (without the need for end users to employ a workaround fix)

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

• General - User password length too short
• Motion Detection - Motion detection email on a user defined schedule
• Motion Detection - Motion detection FTP on a schedule
• Motion Detection - User defined frame capture rate for motion detection emails and FTP posts (independent of FPS)
• Motion Detection - User defined minimal interval between motion detection FTP posts and emails (to avoid flood of emails during a prolonged motion detection event) (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 minutes) [FIXED!]
• Audio - Resolve intermittent background audio clicking [FIXED!]
• General - Admin password length too short [FIXED!]
• [Bug] Password - Passwords created that exceed the maximum length (8 characters) are not rejected, only the first 8 characters are accepted (firmware should reject the password and generate an error message) [FIXED!]

General request:

Can we have an option to make the green indicator light flash anytime the camera is being viewed remotely, internal on the network, or both?  I see it flashes when I access via a hardwired LAN, but I'd also like the option for it to flash when someone from the outside is viewing it remotely.

Basically, steady light = no one viewing.  Flashing light = someone, somewhere, viewing.  Or maybe even different flash patterns to indicate if being viewed by a remote user or one on the wifi network.

Thanks for considering.

Thank you

Hello,

I've owned a DCS-930L for a while now and only lately I've noticed something bothersome.
I've always viewed the camera from video (ActiveX for example). And anytime I viewed it - the camera LED was blinking. It was the feature that gave me a great feeling of security - If someone was watching my camera and managed to bruteforce the password - at least I'd known they are watching and I could turn the camera off.

I know the chances someone would do that are extremely low, but this feature was the only thing that made me calm and allowed me to freely use the cameras.

So the issue is that I found out it is possible to access the cgi (/image/jpeg.cgi) and view it, and the camera's LED won't blink.

I would like to ask if it is possible to implement a feature that would make the camera blink whenever someone is connected to it at all (such as to any page via the browser)? It would make me, and I bet other users, feel more secure. I'm the only one who has access to the camera so it will make me feel at much ease knowing it will blink when someone else is.

Thank you for your time reading my post. I would be very happy to receive any comment from the D-LINK team or the community.

P.S.
Is the source code of the firmware available somewhere? Or is it completely closed  ?
Anyway thank you again, I'm happy to see the community here and the available, recent (!) updates

Please post a reply if you know of any items in this wishlist that were already addressed in recent firmware updates!

Very many thanks for the latest 1.11 firmware - the minimum FTP post interval has completely solved my problems of being swamped with images on motion detection. Congratulations on a job well done.

I believe the Daylight Savings Time Support was addressed a couple of firmware updates ago. Works on 1.11
