Not so far. I have also tried everything you mentioned, including factory reset. I'm running FW 1.02. I have given up on trying to use the DLink cameras to detect motion and alert\record. I still record when it "thinks" its detecting something, but I don't text or email. This way I can always go back and look at events just in case. The good news is the the cameras were not very expensive. Next time will will make sure to set them up and test within the first week, so I can return them. I would like to install more, but since the DLink cameras don't perform well (at least for what I want) I haven't. I really don't want to have multiple brands. On the flip side, they do have a nice HD picture when you are viewing them live (during the day).
