[LINK REMOVED -- PLEASE REFRAIN FROM POSTING LINKS TO NON-US SUPPORTED FIRMWARE/APPS -- THANK YOU]
On **************** site I've found a new plugin called "Surveillance Station (BETA)". As I prefer to receive some notices from D-Link supporters before installing it, have you some news about it?
On the same FTP site I've found a new firmware 1.03b1 with two files (the zip file seems to be corrupted - this matter makes me suspicious and worried!!!). Also for this update, have you some news? Thanks.

Efectivamente posiblemente sea una actualización válida. El otro archivo, el zip no lo he bajado.. pero si la otra es una versión nueva! de lujo!
Sobre la app imagino que será para gestionar las cámaras ips dlink.. un estilo de los nas de synology y qnap
A ver si alguien más arroja algo de luz!
eres español?

Sorry, I'm italian, I don't understand spanish but with an online translator I partially understood what you wrote.
I've tested the Surveillance plugin, and I confirm that it is useful only for D-Link IP cam users. It runs only under Internet Explorer (strangely it doesn't support other browsers), and was not able to recognize my two D-Link IP cams. I've tried to manually setup the IP cams, but there is nothing to do. Uninstalled!!!
Regarding the firmware, I will try next week to test it.... hope to keep my data inside NAS :-))).

A change in the firmware? visual ... or some new feature?

No readme available, take care with beta firmware. Some information from D-Link should be useful.

D-Link USA expressly prohibits discussing the location of non-U.S. supported firmware/apps in this forum that are posted on international D-Link sites. Eager users who unwittingly use incompatible firmware/apps may render their DNS-325 inoperable and potentially void their warranty. Granted, many users know the usual sources where firmware is posted (both domestically and abroad), but D-Link's position is to let them find it on their own, not have it posted on this board.
I will look into this app to see if it's scheduled for release on the US FTP site or for North America (NA) or worldwide (WW) distribution.
Thank you.

I reached out to D-Link to obtain some clarifying information on the firmware and app/plugin mentioned earlier in this thread. As soon as I hear back from D-Link, I'll post my findings. ;)

I no this is a USA Forum but its the only one world wide that actually helps
I can understand D-Link USA policy on this
This firmware is nothing to get excited about there is nothing on there in fact it was a fix rom they are way way way of 1.03 in fact they have the list that was done on here
so a big one up for you guys
I have not found a better d-link forum i have been told that a major rom update when its rolled out USA get it first as you got the last one before Europe did

non-U.S. supported firmware/apps?? So the hardware is different for a unit that ships to the US vs one that ships to Europe, Australia etc?? Shouldn't it all be the same hardware but with different software depending on your language, etc. Doesn't make sense to me. I'm almost positive the hardware for all of those "different" units is out of the same factory in China :-)

Don't want anyone upset at me but I agree with Texasbluesplayer.
This line "Subtle variations in the manufacturing process from country to country" is a bit of B.S.
I'm from Canada and my unit is made in China as must be other people's units.
Now that you say that it's due to different policies, regulations and languages, I agree.
Also, I think there's a tendency for companies to release a product, support it for a few months and then move on to the next product, forgetting about the 1st one. As mentionned in other threads, US D-Link released the firmware update for the DNS-325 without mentionning that it would render the plugins from the 1st version useless. What's more, the WW plugins for the 2nd update have existed for a few months and there's still no mention of the them in the US site. Another example is that the DNS-325 is being sold as having an iTunes server, when it isn't even compatible with current versions of iTunes.
So sometimes you have to look outside "the box" but being careful as JavaLawyer as pointed out.

I agree with you. . . to a point. In most instances, yes the hardware distributed in different countries for a particular ShareCenter model will likely be identical, but I know of at least two actual instances where a last generation ShareCenter model did in fact have different technical specifications between the U.S. and another country (I believe one of those instances was Germany). And there is at least one ShareCenter beta firmware out there now that has region-specific setting differences.
I'm just providing the information. Using this information as a guide (and having been duly notified), individual ShareCenter owners are free to take whatever action they deem prudent given their experience and weighing the potential risk to their data. :-\

It is now included in the official firmware 1.0.3 . Has anyone try this new feature? wonder how it configure? what IP Cameras compatible with it? and how does it function?
