Does anyone have a link to the original FW for the DCS-5222L?  The latest version 1.11 has rendered my 2 DCS-5222L's worthless due to motion detection.  I had them setup and working fine on the original fw, but now its impossible.  Day and Night use the same motion settings but respond very differently.  I am either getting one snapshot minute, or missing cars in the drive that fill the entire screen. 

Time & Date2013/7/30 12:54:40
Firmware Version1.11
Firmware Build Number2825
Agent Version2.0.17-b21

I just want to go back to the way it was before.  Any links or posting of the original fw would so hugely appreciated.

Awesome, thank you.  Now to figure out which of those it was.  But this is exactly what I needed.

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!

DNS-5222L Wishlist

• General - Push notification support (in addition to email) for iOS and Android apps
• General - Option to manually configure the OSD label font size
• General - Support for underscore characters when configuring the "Camera Name"
• General - Ability to define camera patrol positions and combine snapshots in one consolidated email
• General - Ability to save to directory on NAS or server
• General - Access SD card via FTP or SFTP (i.e. include a check box to enable/disable this functionality)
• General - Add indicator describing the signal state of the digital input (e.g. green for high and red for low)
• General - Add Menu option in the Web Configuration page for cloud configuration (rather than using the external PC software)
• General - Add SSH console to access SD card (SMB/CIFS)
• General - Disable IR illuminators while camera is in privacy mode
• General - Expand ability to configure event management attributes in all categories across the Web UI
• General - Increase video clip recording duration (i.e. up to 60 seconds with matching intervals to permit true continuous recording)
• General - Improve Linux browser support
• General - More detailed log events to facilitate troubleshooting
• General - Motion tracking (where the camera automatically pans/tilts to track a moving person/target
• General - Option to change the frequency and "Save to" path for recorded files
• General - Schedule privacy mode
• General - Support for PTZ in Synology Surveillance Station
• General - User definable period for the DCS-5222L to create new directories for recorded snaphots (e.g. hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, etc.)
• General - Wireless signal strength indicator on the Status page
  
• Audio - Ability to select an audio file stored on the SD card and play through the audio line out
• FTP/Email - Option for dated directories or one static directory for FTP'd snapshots
• FTP - Option to save images using the same file name so prior FTP'd images are overwritten
• General - Add FTP, SFTP, FTPS, and SSH support
• Motion Detection [Bug] - Video image periodically jumps/shifts position several pixels causing erroneous motion detection events
• Motion Detection - Ability to provide continuous unbroken snapshots for persistent long term motion events (current implementation has a 10 second gap between each group of 6 snapshots)
• Motion Detection - Improve PIR motion event triggering (i.e. reduce false alarms)
• Motion Detection - Motion events are erroneously triggered when the camera is in patrol mode (i.e. the camera perceives the camera rotation as motion because the image is changing)
• Motion Detection - Option to create/save multiple motion detection area settings that can be selected based on the camera location (i.e. for owners who frequently rotate the camera among frequently used locations)
• Motion Detection - User defined interval for snapshot frequency (e.g. 0.25, 0.33, 0.5 seconds) during a motion detection event
• Networking - Add an indicator specifying whether the camera is connected via wired or wireless (since the camera uses the same IP address for wired and wireless connections)
• Night Mode - Ability to specify the light level required for transitioning from day to nite mode (current fixed mode transitions too early)
• Patrol - Ability to schedule the patrol time (rather than rely on manual triggering)
• Patrol - Option to continuously cycle through selected cameras at a user defined interval
• Night Mode - Option to disable the IR illuminators while the camera is in night mode
• SD Recording - Improve video quality and consistency (recorded videos are frequently choppy, freeze, and have dropped frames)
• SD Recording - Add inherent ability to mass download SD recordings (rather than downloading videos one at a time or physically removing the SD card from the camera)
• SD Recording - Add option to disable JPG files generated for each video recording
• Security - Disable HTTPS when HTTP is enabled
• Security - Option to edit email subject and content and ability to exclude the device MAC address
• Security - SFTP support
• Security - User defined session timeout period
• Images - Increase image quality range for generated JPGs (i.e. option to reduce the compression level further than currently available via the firmware)
• Video - Ability to control image exposure (shutter speed), particularly in night mode (i.e. current implementation adjusts the exposure each frame rather than smoothly interpolating exposure, resulting in unnecessary strobing in dark scenes)
• Video - Add option for RTSP stream at the camera's native image sensor quality (i.e. current RTSP streaming options are too heavily compressed and contain too many artifacts to support advanced image processing)
• Video - Support for RAW (bayer mask) streaming for 160x80 or RGB
• Web UI - Support for Live View using browsers on the Linux platform

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

• General - Option to change the ports used by the camera
• Snapshots - Improved snapshot resolution (rather than 96x96)
• General - Following reboot/power failure, camera should align to user defined position rather than the default home position
• General - HTTPS support
• General - Selecting "full screen"  in the Live View window displays 4:3 aspect ratio frame rather than 16:9

It would be nice to have some kind of wireless signal strength. My other cameras have it and it does help.
It may already have something like this but I sure couldn't find it.

This item is already on the list:

It would be very useful to have the ability to record and send email both on a scheduled time base and when a motion is detected.  Now you can only choose between one of these options.

I also agree with a lot of  new feature requests already listed.

Thank you very much
